A lot many individuals run TOR exit nodes, but I never hear about people running their own I2P outproxies. Is it really hard to host, or is there some other reason? I thought that if you could run a TOR exit node I’d think you’d be just fine running an I2P outproxy.
Running more outproxies will help in bridging torrents from the clearnet to I2P, which would be a very good move considering the crackdowns on torrents right now. Companies even want to involve civilians into their lawsuits in Sweden now, making the need for privacy/anonymity even more important when torrenting, which I2P provides.

Thank you, where can I read a guide on this?
Does Qbittorent support I2P natively? If so, I can probably run it on my seedbox. Never tried it before
It does, qbittorrent support is still “experimental” though. i2psnark and biglybt will outperform it.
If you can run i2p on your seedbox could do it. Simple enough on a plain vps. If i remember correctly though i thought the web interface doesn’t (or didn’t) support i2p stuff, only gui. Haven’t used qbittorrent in a while.
I’m aware mostly of where to find this info from within i2p:

there’s irc in i2p, irc isn’t everyone’s favorite way to do messaging…but it’s a good way to get answer to questions from people that know more than i do. i2p folks have a good amount of distrust for the clearnet so some of them stay away from it.
Thank you, this is very helpful. I’ll read
welcome!
