I was wondering why my speed was only about 250KB/s and I think this is why: there simply aren't many high speed nodes in the network!
If you have a VPS sitting around, just spinning, do consider contributing.
With a simple docker-compose
version: "3.5"
services:
i2p:
image: geti2p/i2p
container_name: i2p
restart: always
volumes:
- ./i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
network_mode: host
you can have i2p running in no time. Or follow the official installation instructions
Simply SSH with a local port forwarding to the router console ssh -L 7657:127.0.1.1:7657 $yourHost and open http://localhost:7657/
You can then configure your instance to share bandwidth.
The problem with TOR is only if you run an exit relay, not with guard/middle relay, Snowflake or bridges. It is in their FAQs.
Indeed, you are correct.
