What’s the difference between I2P vs Tor? This article breaks down the details on both hidden services and what makes them different.

Largely correct as far as I can tell.

    this was written by someone who hasn’t used I2P much, because they seem to be completely unaware of outproxies.

    Edit: After mentioning multiple times that it was not possible to browse the cleanet from I2P, they say:

    Although it’s technically possible to use an I2P connection to browse the regular internet, there are very few exit nodes, and the ones that exist are often quickly taken down.

    I’ve been using the same outproxy for six months in a row.

    Edit 2: okay, I’ve finished reading the article and it’s pushing NordVPN. They’ve lost the little credibility they had.

      Yeah. There are a few things wrong, like Torbrowser being chromium as someone pointed out, and outproxies like you say, but it’s still not the worst summary I’ve seen.

        looking at the website it seems like yet another site trying to make profit from VPN affiliated links, but the I2P vs Tor analysis wasn’t that bad, yeah.

        I wish they fixed the outproxy part tho. You can even host one yourself routing it through Tor so you’ve got the best of both worlds.

      You clearly need a VPN instead of Tor. Only NordVPN can protect you against cybercrime!
