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

Which plan? I used to use them too

Unless there's a zero-day, no. All traffic is encrypted and it should be impossible to correlate traffic chunks to identities like that

I'm assuming your seedbox providers allows you root access to the server? Which provider is this?

Yes, because it's P2P, every node acts as a router and thus distributes bandwidth to prevent congestion

If only people with the resources would seed

It's very easy to set up. Windows now has a slick installer.

The point is that logs are generated and then deleted but companies who do not wish to keep such logs (e.g. IP address of client who connects to the VPN). I2P sure to it's design, doesn't even generate such incriminating logs (it might generate other kinds of logs which is a different discussion).

Thanks

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

I2P is P2P, TOR is not. That is the gist of the matter
