  • Yep, almost. Every* i2p node also acts as a relay, which not only helps the network, but also your anonymity, by drowning out your traffic. It however only does this inside the network, it doesnt work like an exit node.

    By default, it does run a proxy, so that you can access i2p addresses using a browser set up to use it. It also lets you use the proxy to access the internet over i2p, but you have to choose an exit node manually (tho iirc there is one set up as default, which is fairly centralized, but still should be anonymous thanks for the rest of the network). A slight difference from Tor is also that these are protocol level proxies, so you will for example not be able to connect to a clearnet ssh server over these.

  • Im not sure how difficult it is to setup a Tailscale client, honestly.

    The Zerotier setup is just installing and joining a network by an id. The Windows version has a bit of a GUI, where you have to right-click on a status bar icon, click Join network, paste in the id and join. The Linux version of the client has a cli, which is imho even better, as you can just send them a whole command to copy into the terminal.

    I admin a Zerotier network for a bunch of kids that wanna play Minecraft, and they havent had many problems setting up.

    There is a bunch of information on self-hosting the whole system, but Ive honestly never tried any of that. It was just nice that this was “just the open-source LogMeIn Hamachi with a superior implementation of everything”.
