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

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.
