>>35390you don't need to port forward to use i2p and you can still route other peoples' traffic without doing it so don't worry too much about it
<i think the best wya to go is to just use cock.li because it's simlle and just werks tm, if you want there are the normal looking domains on there (airmail.cc etc.)
you could host your own clearnet email on your own domain so that you can sign up for stuff without having to worry as much about losing your addresses but honestly if i were you there'd be a total of 2 or 3 things i'd use it for
<both i2p and tor
tor is good for routing to something else and i2p is good for letting people route to you (i.e. hosting a service)
both tor and i2p are good but iirc tor services don't hop nodes
tor and i2p can both be used to play minecraft(good way to test it out), and i2p i think does udp sockets? i hear so
<if you want to host a minecraft server on tor or i2p, just download the tor daemon or i2pd and then configure it to route properly
note that to get minecraft clients to connect to them you have to port forward to localhost
i.e. route the traffic to localhost:x and then connect to that in minecraft
