I'd like to know your opinion about self-host a I2P container to use it for bittorrent. Thanks

How is the i2p doing?

Last time I checked (several years ago) it was slow, non performing and scarce in results.

And my lack of knowledge didn't help at all :)

It works and it’s easy to set up. It’s going to get faster and more important soon given streaming is dying and the Nazis are censoring everything they can.

Sure. I don’t use mine much, but I leave the note out to help the swarm so others may benefit. Even un throttled, it uses barely any bandwidth and it seems like a good fallback plan for if things get even worse.

OK, I'll take a look

Just use a docker container with a torrent program that uses a VPN for all traffic, like this:
