I2P?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It's an anonymizing network/mixnet like Tor, though more decentralized.

Lol

Oh that's pretty cool!

I2P is cool, potentially better than Tor. The site itself (https://www.qbittorrent.org/news) is behind CF, terrible privacy-wise

I tried it out recently, but couldn't get it to use I2P-only, and I'm not sure if that's even an option. It always still made clearnet connections, exposing my IP address/VPN's IP address.

I've since made the move to BiglyBT. I2P integration is much better via the I2P Helper plugin.
