Regular users in Sweden are in danger because a corporation needs to fill their pockets. Studios are suing your ISPs to get to you.

Use I2P. It will hide your IP address (among the many things it can do), afford you more privacy and allow you to torrent freely, even without a VPN/seedbox. The catch? You’ll have to add the I2P trackers to your torrent.

I believe I2P is the way forward for piracy and I look forward to it getting bigger than it already is.

    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

      If there are no logs, there is nothing to give up. There is no law that they have to keep logs as far as I know.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m interested in i2p. Thanks for posting.

      I admit that I’m skeptical since everyone is a node. It probably is fine, but I don’t know the risks that I take by volunteering as a node. I thought that VPNs can be fine as long as they don’t store logs, but I could be mistaken.

        as a node

        • you are unable to see the contents of traffic you route thanks to layered encryption
        • you wont be routing traffic to the internet (unless you specifically set it up), but only to other I2P routers

        Being a node isn’t an issue. The traffic is encrypted, the destinations are unknown to the nodes themselves, and the traffic does not leave the overlay network (I2P). In TOR, you also have something similar, but the traffic can exit the overlay network but to do so, your node must be an exit node. I2P nodes are internal by default and it’s not that easy to make it an exit node.

        You are very safe being a node in I2P.
