VPNs usually do store your IP when you connect to them, even if they delete it later (it is technically impossible to not know the IP address of whoever is connecting to the VPN). And the likes of Mullvad and IVPN do not allow port-forwarding.

I will repeat what I said to the other commenter: please read the documentation. Being a router doesn't mean that traffic and its contents can be linked to your identity. Data is broken down into chunks and encrypted along with metadata being scrambled. Unless there's a zero day I'm unaware of, you are perfectly safe.

VPNs log your IP. And Mullvad doesn't allow port-forwarding, which means you can't seed.

Being a node for traffic doesn't mean it can be linked to your identity, because everything is encrypted and metadata is scrambled. TOR node operators take much greater risks because depending on how they have set it up, it can lead to their identity being compromised. It's a small chance but it can happen.

I can't convince you. I only hope that people start seeing the need for it and begin reading the documentation to see its strengths

I2P is P2P, TOR is not. That is the gist of the matter

A VPN company can easily give up your details to the police who are now actively going after citizens. VPNs are not enough anymore.

Is there a problem with I2P adoption? I'm sensing a massive lack of interest from this thread

Would you know where I can find a guide to load balance I2P routers?

Thank you, this is very helpful. I'll read

Thank you, where can I read a guide on this?

Does Qbittorent support I2P natively? If so, I can probably run it on my seedbox. Never tried it before

Use something that can do TCP, i.e. HAProxy, NGINX or Apache

Nihilist, since you've watched the video can you make another post on the "heuristics" the presenter was talking about? I think the community needs to know how exactly their automated tool discards decoys from the list of transactions to consider.
