I been trying to understand the difference between i2p to things like Tor and VPNs.

To my understanding, i2p is its own closed off network, meaning you cannot use i2p to access stuff outside of i2p like the clear net, onion domains, etc?

When using i2p, all traffic is relayed through other users in the i2p network like Tor but there is really no such thing as an exit node since you cannot access content outside of i2p?

Therefore i2p is good for hosting .i2p domains that can only be accessed in the i2p network and is good for P2P applications like Bittorrent?

Is this correct? Or am I still misunderstanding i2p?

And therefore could you and other users on i2p run a bitcoin nodes which will only be federated with bitcoin nodes with the i2p network and never federate with the rest of the bitcoin network, essentially making a fork of bitcoin blockchain on i2p?

And is there any other good use cases to i2p besides dark net websites and torrenting?

Keep in mind not all "privacy coins" are private. Some claim to be private because they have a privacy mode or just simply use IP obfuscation.

All monero transactions are private. The sender, reciever and amount are hidden. This is a true privacy coin because of these three features.

ZCash privacy is opt in

Dash I do not consider to be a privacy coin but is called a privacy coin since it has a privacy send mode.

There is Firo which I have not used much but I believe its privacy is opt in

Zano is a privacy coin that looks promising.

 

Simply place a note or card which would be a Monero meme inside any book for someone else to later find when opening the book.

 

When your in a electronic store that sells phones or computers. Go to a computer or phone on display and open up a web browser tab, and have it display something on Monero. Weather you go to a Monero website, or do a search engine query on Monero, or even use any AI apps like Copilot and ask it what Monero is.

The next customer playing with the device on display will discover Monero.

For audiobooks I go to audiobookstore.com and buy gifts cards using a credit card and I buy the credit cards from Cakepay or Trocador.

Are all files on OwnCloud E2EE weather one has a personal cloud storage account or has an account on a team were files are E2EE for all users that are apart of the same team? E2EE were the server admins cannot see anyones filea, folders, file names, folder names and other metadata?

 

I want to know if there is a way to essentially hook up two AUX ports from 2 phones and merge them into one. Allowing me to listen to the audio output from both devices at the same time and use any set of AUX headphones to listen to these 2 phones.

 

I found a WIP flutter/dart client for nostr. Dart is a great programming language to use since it allows a single code base that can be compilled into an app for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and Mac.

Also the Thunder app, a Lemmy client is written in dart and is a well polished client for Lemmy.

Hope for people work on this nostr client than any other client since anyone can enjoy the features this client has to offer, regardless of their device.

Very simular to the airgapped wallet

https://airgap.it

Very cool indeed. Would be great if you can use other wallets instead of Nero such as Stack Wallet and Cake Wallet.

I could port forward both. However I would prefer to only port forward one protocol on the port number for additional security. I cannot find any definite answer online saying you need to port forward the same port TCP and UDP or a definite answer that you need to port forward only one port as TCP or UDP.

 

I disabled UPnP for security reasons and want to port forward qBittorrent.

Lets say the port I chose is 8999, do I need to port forward 8999 TCP and 8999 UDP? Or can I just port forward 8999 TCP? Or can I just port forward 8999 UDP?

And WTF is uTP? There no option to port forward uTP ports in my router or VPN.

 

A site where you can buy and sell things like ebay but uses bch?

I hope IVPN and others starts using RAM only servers in the future.

I wish Mullvad and IVPN kept port forwarding or find a way to bring it back without having too much legal trouble.

If you do and lose access to the email you used to signup to lemmy. Can Lemmy lock you out when you do not have access to your email?

What P2P traffic will they block on normal servers? Bittorrent traffic?

Essentially the P2P servers do not have port forwarding of any kind, they are servers were torrenting is allowed and in juristrictions that tolerate bittorrent traffic to an extent?

fmhy.ml domain was seized due to the mali government taking back control of their TLD. Then they reappeared under lemmy.fmhy.net and then disappeared again but I do not know why.

Just annoying seeing this large dead instance still federated with lemmy.world and many other large instances.

Designated servers offer no technically advantageous feature set for P2P. They simply keep the P2P traffic separate from other traffic so that non P2P server latencies remain lower and more responsive.

So what is the purpose of NordVPN P2P servers?

How do proxies work with port forwarding? Are proxies an option? No matter what I will use a VPN at all times but by using a proxy in your bittorrent client, could you get "port forwarding" functionality?
