    I2p states on there website that it has potentially serious weaknesses. Also i2p has been victim to multiple attacks that shutdown the network. Furthermore, i2p DNS lacks something to be desired and finding pages can be challenging. In comparison Tor is much easier to use and requires little bandwidth. I can browse the internet but I can also access onion addresses. To say i2p is somehow a replacement for Tor is not true as i2p is considerably more complex. I use both Tor and i2p and Tor is easier to use by far. I2p has the advantage to being properly decentralized and supporting way more configuration options.

    Both have there strengths and weaknesses. However, if you are in a critical situation use Tor not i2p as today it is the best for bypassing censorship while still trying to stay safe.
