i2p is its own closed off network? (lemmy.world)

I been trying to understand the difference between i2p to things like Tor and VPNs.

To my understanding, i2p is its own closed off network, meaning you cannot use i2p to access stuff outside of i2p like the clear net, onion domains, etc?

When using i2p, all traffic is relayed through other users in the i2p network like Tor but there is really no such thing as an exit node since you cannot access content outside of i2p?

Therefore i2p is good for hosting .i2p domains that can only be accessed in the i2p network and is good for P2P applications like Bittorrent?

Is this correct? Or am I still misunderstanding i2p?

And therefore could you and other users on i2p run a bitcoin nodes which will only be federated with bitcoin nodes with the i2p network and never federate with the rest of the bitcoin network, essentially making a fork of bitcoin blockchain on i2p?

And is there any other good use cases to i2p besides dark net websites and torrenting?

Sure, the steps are different depending on which i2p router you are using, for i2pd, you just have to add a file in your tunnels.d directory, or add an entry in your tunnels.conf and then reload the tunnel configuration. In Java i2p, you will have to do it through the gui.

Here is the link to the tunnel config for i2pd: http://i2pcraft.i2p/example/i2pdtunnel.html And here is a link to a screenshot of Java i2p: http://i2pcraft.i2p/img/config.png

The tunnel length can be reduced to 1 for better performance, but you will sacrifice some anonymity.

But once the tunnel is setup and running, you can use Minecraft 1.19.2, or a newer version with ViaFabricPlus and connect to 127.0.0.1:25565. Its an anarchy server, but its pretty chill, I heard there is an iron farm and trained villagers for anyone to use near spawn, but I havent seen them. It is a cracked server, so you will have to use /register and save your password somewhere.

The other server is at mc.r4sas.i2p, I couldnt copy any links from there, I think its down rn, but the instructions for i2pcraft should be pretty much the same, just a different address. But I think its a russian speaking server, all of the players ive seen on i2pcraft speak english.
