+<p>{% trans -%}This implementation of I2P(the Java implementation distributed from geti2p.net)
+includes a "Strict Countries List" which we use to decide how routers should behave 
+within regions where applications like I2P may be limited by law. For example, while
+no countries that we know of prohibit using I2P, some have broad prohibitions on
+participating in routing for others. Routers that appear to be in the "Restricted"
+countries will automatically be placed into "Hidden" mode.{%- endtrans %}</p>
+
+<p>{% trans -%}Since we are not legal experts, we currently rely on the information from:
+<a href="https://freedomhouse.org/">Freedom House</a>. Our general guidance is to include countries with a Civil
+Liberties (CL) score of 16 or less or a Internet Freedom score of 39 or less (not free). {%- endtrans %}</p>
+
+<h4>{% trans -%}Hidden Mode Summary{%- endtrans %}</h4>
+<p>{% trans -%}When a router is placed into hidden mode, three key things change about it's behavior.
+It will no longer publish a routerInfo to the NetDB, it will no longer accept
+participating tunnels, and it will reject direct connections to routers in the same
+country that it is in. These defenses make the routers more difficult to enumerate
+reliably, and prevent them from running afoul of restrictions on routing traffic for
+others.{%- endtrans %}</p>
