      I wish more people would try out I2P as a result. AFAIK, garlic routing makes this kind of attack impossible.

        AFAIK it only makes it harder not impossible.

        We use it but it doesn’t have the same protections or reliability as Tor

            Check the FAQ

            Also it lacks the more advanced features of Tor

              Please mention the “advanced features” it lacks compared to TOR. I have read the FAQ

                You can’t use snowflakes and it can’t pretend to be https

                  Use OpenVPN configured to look like HTTPS if you really need it. I2P is meant to be its own network, not a gateway to the clearnet. I still do not see how it has less measures in place for privacy and anonymity.

                    OpenVPN does not provide Onion routing and is not the same thing. You are comparing apples and oranges. Tor is well proven and battle tested. It also has the benefit of being well known and easy to use.

        I’ve tried to use it, but have not managed to get it to work. Which is a bummer.

        I should probably try again now that I have a new computer. My old computer was so old that a lot of stuff wasn’t working correctly.

          Remember that you need to let the server run for a bit, so it can establish , the routes.

          I have a service constantly running on my server. When I want to browse, I tunnel the ports to my laptop.
