Configure the TOR Duckduckgo and Brave search engines and only search over TOR. Switch circuits every x hours.

Took a while but glad that they are back

Create a new user and give explicit permissions via doas + SELinux (corporate style lockdown). And deal with network policies with a DNS filter on your LAN (or maybe run an unbound service on her device with a different user without a login so she can't change the config). Easy

For Android, use a FOSS MDM

Yes, that's a bit of a problem on the average seedbox. You'd have to modify your torrent to seed on I2P by adding I2P trackers (just a couple of them, nothing much), and then run either BiglyBT or I2PSnark to seed them on I2P. Unfortunately, most seedboxes don't give you root access, neither do they bundle these apps. Qbittorrent doesn't have good support for it yet unfortunately.

If you have an SBC/spare computer at home, would be great if you could attach a hard drive to it, install i2p/i2pd and either of the mentioned torrent clients, and seed from there in the meantime. Qbittorrent has seen community interest in I2P, unfortunately it's just not there yet

The OG I2P program is written in Java, which might show behavior like you mentioned (didn't stop immediately when stopping the service).

Please try I2PD, it's written in C++

Obviously, this doesn't change anything if you're still seeding to the clearnet. All this would do is cross-seed your torrents to the I2P network. I assume you have a suitable torrenting strategy already for the clearnet. If some day you were to abandon the clearnet for I2P, you would no longer need to take the precautions you do now because I2P is inherently private.

Please skim through the documentation for a high-level overview on I2P, and ask here if you don't understand something

Unfortunately, Qbittorrent's I2P support is still experimental. Assuming your seedbox provider can let you run BiglyBT or any other client that can cross-seed, all you have to do is add I2P trackers to your torrent file. You can also upload your torrent files to Postman on I2P for them to be registered.

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

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

Thanks, saved

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

Alright we should use that then

I thought AGPL was the more restrictive version of GPL? Which license should we use so that corporates need to pay?

Everything needs to be slapped with the AGPL. Fuck corporate America

Thanks man. I would much rather give my time than my money for OSS projects, but I have a lot to learn and do not match up the quality of contributions needed in said projects. I'll do what I can.

It definitely makes a difference, and putting money into Wikipedia is a great use of funds. The reason I asked the question is because I'm not well off, but I still like to donate to projects from time to time. This means I have a limited (and strict budget), and was wondering if they need my tenner badly enough to send marketing emails over it. Because I'd like to donate to people who actually really need the money, and Wikipedia will do just fine for some time without my money going to them.

Tell her to pay for Proton. Easy way out
