    Meh. Tor already is too mainstream. i2p is nicely under the radar, but unfortunately it’s even slower than Tor.

    TOR is too slow for every day browsing. You will never get the masses to adopt something if it’s going to severely affect normal web browsing. I agree that more should use it but it’s just too damn slow.

        My assumption is it passing the traffic across multiple TOR relays. Other than using it a few times on a few PC’s I really haven’t dug into it and haven’t done any troubleshooting. It wasn’t worth it to use for clearnet sites that can be accessed with a standard browser.

        My testing was for an IT project to block all of TOR on corporate devices and test blocking users that log into their company account on a tor relay/browser/IP.
