Trouble with law enforcement when running i2p? (Europe)
Posted: Fri May 09, 2025 5:11 pm
Hello there,
I am fairly new to i2p and I have been wondering for some time now if I can get in trouble for running an i2p router in Europe? I did run one for 2 weeks permanently on my RPi but for the sake of stability and bandwith as well as some major technical difficulties running some stuff on ARM chips, I wanted to switch over to a VPS.
Out of comfort and the good price I would like to host my VPS with a service that then would know some basic informations about me since they do not provide crypto payments.
Is there any known cases of people running i2p routers being hunted down by law enforcement?
While I do not do anything illegal, I still would prefer not to have police in front of my door one day :=)
