# Offshore I2P Router Hosting



I2P routers need constant uptime and clean IPs. Our anonymous VPS in privacy-friendly jurisdictions provide both — plus the signup-level anonymity I2P itself deserves.

## Router, floodfill, or eepsite



A standard I2P router participates in the network by relaying others' traffic. A floodfill router additionally stores the network database and is more resource-intensive. An eepsite is an I2P-only website (like a Tor onion service). VPS-S is fine for routers; floodfills and busy eepsites benefit from VPS-M.





## I2P vs Tor — why both matter



I2P is optimized for internal network services (eepsites, chat, torrents inside I2P). Tor is optimized for accessing the clearnet anonymously. Running both routers diversifies your privacy infrastructure.





## Bandwidth contribution



I2P routers consume 100 KB/s to 10 MB/s depending on their bandwidth share setting. Unlimited bandwidth on our VPS means you can set a generous contribution without worrying about overages.

FAQ

## I2P Hosting — FAQ





### 01
Is I2P legal where you host?



Yes in all our recommended jurisdictions. I2P is an overlay protocol; running a node is equivalent to running a web server.





### 02
Will you take down my I2P router on complaint?



Complaints against anonymous overlay networks are almost never actionable. We do not act without a valid local court order.





### 03
Can I run a bittorrent tracker in I2P?



Yes. Since I2P traffic is internal to the network, the usual DMCA/torrent concerns do not apply.





### 04
Does I2P need a public IPv4?



Reachable routers need a public IP (which our VPS all have). Behind-NAT routers contribute less and can't be floodfills.





### 05
What I2P implementation should I use?



i2pd (C++) is lighter weight than the Java reference router; we recommend i2pd for VPS deployment.
