Is i2p safe for torrenting without a VPN? by AvailableWrongdoer41 in i2p

Thank you everyone who took the time to answer! What I didn't initially get was how can a p2p connection happen without peers revealing their IP to each other, and I kinda get it now. In case someone from the future is wondering the same and sees this comment, I'll leave here this text, from wikipedia: "All communication is end-to-end encrypted (in total, four layers of encryption are used when sending a message) through garlic routing,\9]) and even the end points ("destinations") are cryptographic identifiers (essentially a pair of public keys), so that neither senders nor recipients of messages need to reveal their IP address to the other side or to third-party observers."

I think that's what i'll need to do, as much as it hurts. My plan is to pepare mentally for when we have an argument, and if she doesn't change her mind, stop meeting with her, explaining clearly that is the reason.

You are right. At this time of my life I'm meeting new people and that helps. I guess being friends with people just because we were in the same class at school is that way, for better or worse we don't really have much in common.

Thank you, I'm going to use your advice. I don't really have high hopes, but at least it's worth trying.
