Torrenting is I2P's foot in the door for much wider adoption, which would help drive other types of usage. I really hope it takes off, especially since qBitTorrent 4.6 just integrated support; the current stagnation of filesharing, especially w.r.t. needing a VPN for everything, needs some shaking up.

We will still need VPNs to get good connectivity to other residential ISPs until some government entity (or market condition) inspires ISPs to invest in more hardware and peering with each other. CDNs and VPN providers are now sadly a requirement for the internet to work the way we expect it to.

With modern tech, I should be able to launch a web server, give you my ipv6 that never changes, route a few ports through fw and we’re good.

With modern tech I should never have any identifier that doesn’t change whatsoever. Mac,ip,etc should randomize every nth second lol

It's already possible (and quite easy) to assign a static IPv6 for incoming traffic e.g. webserver, then configure a private and constantly rotating IPv6 for all outgoing traffic.

How do VPNs improve connectivity between residential ISPs?

Not OP, but I'd expect it's so that separate residential locations can communicate directly with another, bypassing limitations imposed by the ISP, double NAT, dynamic IPs, etc. Depending on region ISPs have purposefully blocked residential users from exposing public Internet services.

Net neutrality is dead. For some reason, I get much faster torrent speeds with a VPN than without.
