It’s kinda like Tor, but different, more secure from what I understand. You also can’t access normal internet sites while properly connected to i2p

What AI had to say about it:
Yes, I2P (Invisible Internet Project) does require an internet service provider (ISP) for its functionality. While I2P is a decentralized network, it relies on your existing internet connection to function. You still need an ISP to connect to the internet and access I2P’s network.
I don’t really understand it either. Sounds like a series of tubes.

Nah, you run it over your existing ISP connection but set up an “i2p router” on a PC / laptop / server to connect to others on the i2p network.
