Protecting the interest of our customers and ensuring the stability of the service have been key principles for IVPN since starting our operations more than ten years ago. To keep delivering on these promises, we have made the decision to gradually phase out the port forwarding feature from the IVPN Pro plan.
What about i2p torrenting?
I know nothing about i2p isn’t it going to depend on everyone using i2p?
There are i2p trackers and the only way for torrents to get there is by crosseeding them (from clearweb), qbitorrent on the v6.0 release will make this easier.
And you can also just upload to i2p trackers directly.
I think this is definitely the way to go! Just waiting on qbit now. VPNs are starting to feel dated (to me) for torrent use, but still great for privacy.
I’m seeing more people move that direction. It’s worth keeping an eye on it.
Yup, AFAIK you do not need a port forward to torrent within the I2P network. And in addition you wouldn’t even need a VPN. The main downside is that I2P needs more people torrenting so that it’ll go faster.
is there a guide for torrenting with i2p ?
I heard its slower?
It is slower, but since it is a p2p network the more people that use it the faster it gets. (in theory) (sort of like seeding the network)
