wait, so this would route my traffic through others' internet connections and theirs through mine? seems like a great way to get implicated for actually illegal activity, like, say, other people running I2P to download and/or upload certain types of porn.
it's all encrypted, and a darknet, so unless you're routing through exit nodes, or you host an exit node, that information isn't publicly accessible.
the other problem here is the "illegal contents" problem, if UPS accidentally ships a human head in the mail, is that the fault of the UPS? If someone mails a bomb to someone else, is that also the fault of UPS?
Ultimately, there is little to no reasoning as to why you should be capable of getting into trouble, unless you're storing it, and it's a very very strict law. But it's a router, so it shouldn't be storing anything.
There are no exit nodes on i2p.
there can be clear net proxies iirc, which are essentially exit nodes, but they aren't recommended for fairly obvious reasons.
It's called an outproxy
The i2p outproxy is simply a user-specified proxy that i2p uses when you try to fetch someting outside the i2p network. I2p does not implement that proxy itself, therefore it is not part of i2p / it can't be called an i2p exit node.
