    Does p2p over i2p require port forwarding? I have a cheap vpn (surfshark) that does not have port forwarding and i am almost never able to seed over it. Will seeding over i2p require port forwarding?

      It functions without port forwarding, but it’s much better with. While I can’t speak for the Java client, i2pd has support for UPnP, which might make things easier in some environments. You also don’t need a VPN for I2P, since the network takes care of the anonymising
