A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

All I expect from my VPN is protection from my ISP seeing exactly what I'm doing and selling those data to advertisers. If true anonymity online is doable, there are far more steps to take to achieve it.
I2P seems like a better solution, but it doesn't have a strong network yet
What's I2P?
I suppose it is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P
More complicated Tor, but super cool. It uses garlic routing rather than onion routing to further anonymize packets.
It's worth reading into what it is (and especially those two terms) to get a better understanding.
TOR but with the idea you'd never leave the Onion.
Why port back out to clearnet? We can build our own shangrila inside. This is the concept behind i2p and yggrasil.
