Best Practices for Staying Anonymous: VPN vs Tor vs I2P – Which Wins?

[maximilianus-07]

Hey folks, I'm trying to figure out which tool actually gives me solid anonymity without killing performance—VPNs, Tor, or I2P? I've tested a few setups but keep hitting trade‑offs. What’s your go‑to stack and why?

I'm using both a VPN and Tor, but I gotta say, Tor's default exit node settings can be super restrictive if you're trying to access certain websites. I2P has its own set of benefits, but from what I've seen, it's not as widely adopted as Tor for general anonymity needs. Has anyone here had any experience with I2P?
