I've been looking at TOR, I2P, Reticulim, Freenet, Snowflake, IPFS
Tor get's blocked a lot. It's the fastest of the options. The level of anonymization is ok. If you piss off a nation-state, it may not protect you sufficiently. It's had a history of leaks, If an intelligence ag owns enough of the exits, timing attacks might out you.
I2P is more secure, harder to block, but it's really slow and has very limited access to the clearnet. It's also super easy to DDOS. There are some torrents, forums and chatrooms out there on i2p, latency is rough.
Reticulum is pretty cool. It's a protocol and you access things like nomad net on it. It's crypto is good, there's no clearnet access. It may have issues when/if it scales
Snowflake is slow AF, mainly used to get anonymous access out from restricted nations-states.
IPFS web3 crypto storage. you can host files/sites on it. It's kinda hard to make stuff on there go away, it's also kinda hard to get stuff to stay. If you're not paying a pinning service, even daily scripting the pins to keep data up there is a losing battle. It's slow, fragile, not very anonymous.
