That’s my point, that’s significantly more effort then just implementing i2p. You shouldn’t have to worry about that because we should be using better protocols. It’s the protocol’s fault here, and VPNs are band-aid solutions.
BiglyBT handles all of the I2P router itself if you don’t have a existing install, you can point it to an existing I2P install if you have one that’s running 24/7 so is well integrated which is what I do
I’ve been doing it for 20 years and have never been caught. I’ve never even heard of i2p until here just a couple of weeks ago. The fact that certain people are pushing it so hard and referring to standard methods in such a derogatory way makes me highly skeptical of trying it out.
And just because there is some new method available doesn’t mean you’re retaining your privacy there either. I have a VPN to hide my IP and as far as I’m concerned that’s enough ‘privacy’ to avoid any issues.
What’s the worst that’ll happen, my ISP sends me a letter telling me to knock it off? You’re acting like this is some sort of top secret black ops mission in need of complete secrecy.

Because clearnet serves most of us just fine.
No it doesn’t, because that’s how you get caught
I wonder if someone in Somalia is worried about “getting caught” or if piracy out in the open works fine for them
Being from a 3rd world country, it’s really weird to me that you guys care about that.
It’s not even prosecuted where I live. So I couldn’t care less if it’s clearnet or whether my IP address is public.
unless if you’re a thirdie or use a proxy or a good VPN

imo I’m pretty sure that using a VPN is much easier than setting i2p
It’s literally a toggle in the BitTorrent client, which hopefully will eventually default on

Just because you haven’t been caught doesn’t mean https is suddenly a private way to pirate. It’s really not that complicated.
