`bitcoin-cli help logging` for more information.
It is possible to restrict outgoing connections in the usual way with
`onlynet=i2p`. I2P support was added to Bitcoin Core in version 22.0 (mid 2021)
`onlynet=i2p`. I2P support was added to Bitcoin Core in version 22.0 (mid-2021)
and there may be fewer I2P peers than Tor or IP ones. Therefore, using
`onlynet=i2p` alone (without other `onlynet=`) may make a node more susceptible
to [Sybil attacks](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses#Sybil_attack). Use
`bitcoin-cli -addrinfo` to see the number of I2P addresses known to your node.
## I2P related information in Bitcoin Core
Another consideration with `onlynet=i2p` is that the initial blocks download
phase when syncing up a new node can be very slow. This phase can be sped up by
using other networks, for instance `onlynet=onion`, at the same time.
In general, a node can be run with both onion and I2P hidden services (or
any/all of IPv4/IPv6/onion/I2P), which can provide a potential fallback if one
of the networks has issues.
## I2P-related information in Bitcoin Core
There are several ways to see your I2P address in Bitcoin Core:
- in the debug log (grep for `AddLocal`, the I2P address ends in `.b32.i2p`)
