The way DNS works in i2p makes it unreliable and vulnerable to attacks. It wouldn’t be to hard for an adversary to do a man in the middle or even do a fake version of a site. Also resolving DNS names is hard and takes a lot of effort.

Honestly the entire system needs to be rethought.

    I think my big gripe with I2P is the speed. I expected it to be much faster than accessing a tor hit in service. And it just absolutely completely disappointed me. Connecting to a monero node on tor got me 500KiB/s, on i2p i got 40KiB/s at best. Very disappointed.

    I was under the impression that I2P was built with hidden services in mind. And I’ve been disabused of that notion.
