    You will still always know where the packet last came from, otherwise it could not be routed to you. As I live in germany I have to deal with the threat of lawyers sending letters when they ‘caught you’ torrenting. So if anyone uses this in germany without a vpn and happens to be the last one in the chain they will use it just like they use their current system to claim you pirated stuff because you were uploading stuff through torrents.

      If they can’t follow the chain how do they know that you got something illegal? As I understand it the ISP would just see that you got an encrypted Paket from some random IP. Am I mistaking?

        Yeah, I live in lawsuit happy USA and pirating through i2p has never landed me letters in the mail. They don’t even know what it is you’re looking at let alone where it truly came from.

        Again, I really recommend reading about the subject instead of trusting some idiot (me) on the internet.

        In germany it’s enough for them to know you participated in the process to send you a letter

          That may be but my point is that they can’t see that you are part of the process.

            Of course they can. If they set up a honeypot and your ip is caught seeding, even if it is only as an exit point to i2p, they have you connected to the distribution of that torrent. I’m not saying they will win before a court, but they will send you a letter and a lot of people don’t challenge those
