VPN vs I2Pd (lemm.ee)

Just wanted to know what you guys consider to be better when torrenting. Is it I2P network or a VPN like Mullvad, Proton or IVPN?

Just did some quick testing, most are open trackers operating in I2P (meaning they will happily track and announce to any torrents/peers using them).

Working I2P Trackers, these should work with any I2P public torrents:

Working I2P non-open trackers, meaning they only track torrents published at their own website.

Currently Down I2P Trackers:

Unsure if all the ones currently down are just down temporarily. Some I suspect will come back (e.g. skank.i2p has been around forever so I'd be surprised if they're permanently gone).

EDIT: Browse notbob, especially their tracker listing for hints on current I2P torrent trackers and sites http://notbob.i2p/cgi-bin/defcon.cgi?category=tracker
