We have no plans to add I2P back in Tails because I2P hasn't yet become popular and usable enough to matter to our [[target audience|contribute/personas]].

[I2P](https://geti2p.net/) is another anonymity network and alternative to Tor. Tails used to include I2P until 2017. We removed I2P in [[Tails 2.12|news/version_2.11]] because it was too costly to maintain.

An extract of a Top Secret appraisal by the NSA characterized Tor as "[the King of high secure, low latency Internet anonymity](https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/oct/04/tor-high-secure-internet-anonymity)" with "no contenders for the throne in waiting".

Tor has been received awards by institutions such as the [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://www.eff.org/awards/pioneer/2012), and the [Free Software Foundation](https://www.fsf.org/news/2010-free-software-awards-announced) to name a few.

Tor has partnered with leading research institutions, and has been subjected to intensive academic research. It is the anonymity network which benefits from the most auditing and peer review.

Tor is being used equally by journalists, law enforcement, governments, human rights activists, business leaders, militaries, abuse victims and average citizens concerned about online privacy. This diversity actually provides stronger anonymity to everyone as it makes it more difficult to identify or target a specific profile of Tor user. Anonymity loves company.

Tor is the anonymity network with the largest user base. More than 4&thinsp;000&thinsp;000 users connected to Tor daily in 2023. Being adopted by such a large audience proves its maturity, stability, and usability.

When using a VPN, an attacker can also break your anonymity by monitoring the incoming and outgoing connections of the few servers of the VPN. On the other hand, the Tor network is formed by over 7500 relays run worldwide by volunteers.

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) could be faster than Tor but they are not anonymity networks, because the administrators of the VPN can know both where you are connecting from and where you are connecting to and break your anonymity. Tor provides anonymity by making it impossible for a single point in the network to know both the origin and the destination of a connection.

We want to enforce good security by default for our users. That is why it is a fundamental assumption of Tails to force all outgoing traffic to anonymity networks such as Tor.
