I've had an I2P node quietly running for years, typically seeing hundreds of peers, participating in over a thousand tunnels at any given time, and using all the bandwidth I'd give it.

A few days ago, I disabled IpV4. I now have a few dozen peers, maybe a score of tunnels, and almost no bandwidth used.

I am disappoint.

By the way, I'm also disappoint that the official I2P forum demands an email address to register. Who thought that was OK?

Hi - new here

I know this topic has been covered a lot here, but I just wanted to ask a few questions of my own. I want to torrent over i2p and clearnet simultaneously and I wanted to mask by IP over clearnet hence the need for a VPN. I am using Brave browser and connecting successfully to the i2p network but trying to connect to Postman Tracker and having no joy - could it be that my VPN (Nord) is blocking ports? I know that they don't support i2p connections so I'm wondering if that's the issue

Sorry for the noob question but this is all new to me

TIA for any advice

hi guys i'm trying to figure out a way to route traffic through to Jami (https://jami.net/) using i2p. My original appraoch was just to use the http proxy and route it through proxychains, but Jami needs udp packets. I understand there is a udpclient tunnel in i2pd? but i'm not really sure how to use it in this context as i'm not super familiar with networking

Why is the default speed in i2pd so low? By default, up to 32 KB/sec, which is incredibly low. Doesn't this slow down the entire network, since most people probably won't change this setting? Don't you think that, at a minimum, the default speed should be higher, and even better, if it was automatically adjusted, as is done in java i2p, as far as I know

ramble.pw/f/I2P/5341/i2p-2-5-0-released

If I route all internet traffic on a laptop through I2P using firewall rules, will my physical location be hidden from the internet?

Clarification: I would be installing the I2P client console in linux on my ubuntu system, adding firewall rules then just using a regular browser to visit websites.

Hi all!

As part of some other server migrations, I am currently trying to move my i2pd instance to an containerized i2p approach. Everything works well until the container needs to be restarted. After a restart, everything stops working and I cannot connect to the router console any more.

I basically have the same problem as the following post, which was posted a year ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/i2p/comments/11272fo/i2p_running_great_in_docker_until_the_container/

My docker-compose.yaml file looks like this (No major changes compared to what https://github.com/i2p/i2p.i2p/blob/master/Docker.md recommends):

  i2p-eepsite:
    image: geti2p/i2p
    ports:
      - "7657:7657" # Router Console (TCP)
      - "4444:4444" # HTTP Proxy (TCP)
    volumes:
      - ./data/i2p/i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
      - ./data/i2p/i2ptorrents:/i2psnark

Does someone know what the underlying issue for this behaviour is? I'd be happy to try and contribute a fix but currently have no idea in what area the underlying issue is/where to begin searching.

Cheers!

Image loading on I2P is quite terrible, but thanks to progressive JPEGs you can make your eepsite suck less. There's not much more else to say, but I do have a blog to explain and illustrate my point: Use progressive JPEGs!.

This is my first time promoting my blog so, please, be harshly constructive and don't hesitate to point out any ESL cock-ups you see.

Peace and happy webmastering.

The situation is this: I'm trying to setup i2pd on the local machine.

1. In some resources I've seen an advice to set a fixed port for i2pd to ease port forwarding. But at the same time there is a comment in i2pd.conf, which says that the port must be random (by default). So should I set a fixed port? Will this hurt security?
2. I am behind the NAT, I have no public IP address. When I've set up port forwarding in the system and in my router, I expected that there is a transit traffic, though the Network status is "Firewalled - Symmetric NAT". What does this mean?

I was trying to install the newest update. I had problems getting it so I tried starting from scratch. I Uninstalled everything and tried reinstalling I2P easy installer. Now it keeps operating in Microsoft edge. My router homepage doesnt show up, just text that mentions something about a proxy. How do i get everything back to firefox?

I2p can work. It can connect to the I2p network. I update the subscriptions so I can open lost of I2p website . I change the outproxy so I can open the normal webside like google or others. But I find participating and share ratio are all 0. How can I improve it？ Thanks.

ok, so It happen that I try to play some video using tube.i2p or invidous.qwik.i2p,
but It pretty much never work for me, I don't know if the issue is on my side or not,
but thince these services are still runing, I assum they somhow work for most peoples.

The issue I have :
on tube.i2p almost every time page load fine but "No video with supported format and MIME type found." and sometime page don't load "The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. this problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies",
and it do this on random video, sometime i can play them sometime it's the first or the other error.

on invidious.qwik.i2p the error is just "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." it randomly happen to but even without reloading the tab.

I have JS enabled, I use the default "standard" mode on the security tab of firefox, disabled query ocsp, disabled DoH, disabled all a can in "Permission" (like "Block new requests asking to access your location" is on, and all other with it), disabled Play DRM-controlled content, and tested pretty much all of this activated and deactivated,

I tested the outproxy (i use purokishi and stormy cloud (in this order)) work fine on youtube but it's not my goal tu use that

Edit : I tested yewtu .be (wich is what I see loading when in tube.i2p) with the outproxy too and it seem to work fine too

Im on windows,
Using I2P 2.4.0 (non eazy install)
Using Firefox for it,
Runing for 40 hours,
Bandwith is pretty much almost all the time above 200KBps in/out,
Share ratio is almost all the time between 50 and 120,
IPv4: OK ; IPv6 : Firewalled,
So disabled inbound IPv6 and using Prefer IPv4 over IPv6,
I use 291/512 RAM for the JVM.

I just want to know if it is normal or not
and if not, help to try to see what can be my issue is welcome
don't bother too much for me since this is not a matter of death or live for me, Im just a little curious
(the post edit is just me reformating the text since when i uploaded reddit messed it up)

I configured the browser firefox and then when I try to go in any .i2p website it treats it like a regular site and automatically puts https before it shows site can't be reached. Even 127.0.0.1 opens with https. And I have configure it port 4444 everything.

I want all network traffic on my linux laptop to go through I2P and I'm trying to create firewall rules for that. My understanding is that I have to create a rule to allow traffic both ways (in & out) on the port I2P is functioning on (2nd pic), and another rule to deny traffic both ways on all other ports (3rd pic). I've got the port (4444) from the general settings in I2p console, then put those in the port box in the rule allowing I2P. Do I leave the from/to IP boxes blank in both rules? Your help is greatly appreciated.

always website unreachible ...

dont know what i am doing wrong :/

I have installed i2p through Ubuntu PPA and ran it for 3 days, but the Networking status still says Testing. I share 100Mbits/s and have opened the port for UDP and TCP in my router. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?

https://preview.redd.it/9yot9mz0z6pc1.png?width=1385&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0fd3eb70601dc073697e75bf414bd260780d445

I believe that software like i2p is going to made illegal and the clearnet infrastructure will be shutdown

what can we do about it?

Error message: "ERR-No Active Peers, Check Network Connection and Firewall"

Good Day to you on r/i2p.

I am unable to download I2P For Windows Easy Bundle from https://geti2p.net/en/download/easyinstall

No download begins. Does anyone know where I can get the Easy Bundle file?

I appreciate any help.

hello I haven't posted before and hope I understood the rules. I have got i2p set up with some viable proxy, port-forwarding and firewall settings, but need some further advice:-

I have got i2pmail working (on Windows 7 with PaleMoon).

Next I'd like to use it with epyrus (which is very similar to Thunderbird) but I have a question.

The imap settings seem to require "Normal Password" which (I suppose) sends the password to the mailserver as plain text. But I doubt I understood how i2p email differs from regular email. Is this safe or if not is there some way it can be changed to an encrypted password?

For example perhaps this setting makes no difference in i2p contexts (iirc I read somewhere that TLS/SSL doesn't matter) or like it is just a handshake before an actual authentication is done via an i2p tunnel, then plain text password might not be so bad at all.

Also I do understand a client and especially a windows client often defeats the object of any security, but to transport this password as plain text seems like it would be serving it up on a plate - e.g. to packet-sniffing in the local area network.

Can I2p work in a Windows 32 bits system?

1. I have never used I2P before and want to know what is the best anonymous operating system to use I2P on if ones threat model is to be anonymous and not have their identity and activities exposed? Can you use it on Tails?

2. What happens if you use I2P on Windows operating system? Do you need to use its own browser or you can use any browser? Is everything like IP address, fingerprints, identity etc all anonymised? Is all the traffic routed?

3. Are you able to anonymously access clearnet websites without any issues? How about onion websites?

Hello everyone,

​

I am currently failing to install I2p on my Mac running MacOS Ventura.

I followed this tutorial https://geti2p.net/de/download/macos

After installing it and running the Start I2P Router the App tries to launch and vanishes from the dock a few seconds later. Running the app in terminal get this out:

b@MBP-von-B ~ % /Applications/i2p/Start\ I2P\ Router.app/Contents/MacOS/i2prouter ; exit;

Starting I2P Service...

Waiting for I2P Service.....

WARNING: I2P Service may have failed to start.

**Failed to load the wrapper**

​

The most likely reason is that a supported version of the java

wrapper is not available in the I2P installation package for your

platform. It may be possible to manually download and install

a compatible wrapper for your system.

See https://geti2p.net/en/misc/manual-wrapper for hints.

​

In the meantime, you may start I2P by running the script

/Applications/i2p/runplain.sh

​

​

Saving session...

...copying shared history...

...saving history...truncating history files...

...completed.

​

[Prozess beendet]

​

I tried installing the wrapper manually but it still won´t work.

​

Running the runplain.sh gives out this :

I2P started [92408]

/Applications/i2p/runplain.sh: line 54: %SYSTEM_java_io_tmpdir/router.pid: No such file or directory

b@MBP-von-B ~ %

​

I also tried running the Easy Installer but the only difference is that the app tries to start in the dock for a couple of minutes and then vanishes from the dock again.

​

​

Any help would be nice,

Thanks

I mean, activating a vpn and opening i2p after

I2P's configuration is stored in C:\ProgramData\I2P and I'd like to move it to somewhere else where I have more control over its privacy. Is there a way to do that?

I am running into a file permission issue with i2p when running in docker (Kubernetes) and writing to a file share. I am seeing what seems to be similar behavior for both i2p configurations and i2psnark files. All files and directories are owned by the i2p user and group (as configured in the docker container - I manually checked). I am trying to write to a files hare with a default mask of 770.

When I exec into the docker container and try to create files and directories it works fine, but when i2psnark tries to create files I get the following error: "Error on torrent Magnet <magnet id> (<directory name>): Could not create file for Magnet <magnet id> (<magnet name>): java.io.IOException: Permission denied"

Is i2p doing something weird with file permissions or groups?

The torrent directory permissions are (as viewed on the host system):

drwxrwx--- 2 1040 65536 0 Feb 15 15:34 i2ptorrents

Inside the container, my uid and gid look right (although granted the container doesn't know the names of the user/group, but that shouldn't be a problem):

/i2p $ whoami
whoami: unknown uid 1040
/i2p $ groups
65536groups: unknown ID 65536

i2p is running as this user in the container as well:

/i2psnark $ ps -fe
PID   USER     TIME  COMMAND
    1 1040      0:00 {startapp.sh} /bin/sh /startapp.sh
    7 1040      0:59 java -cp .:lib/addressbook.jar:lib/commons-el.jar:lib/desktopgui.jar:lib/i2p.jar:lib/i2psnark.jar:lib/i2ptunnel.jar:lib/jasper-runtime.jar:lib/javax.servlet.jar:lib/jbigi.jar:lib/
  279 1040      0:00 /bin/sh
  297 1040      0:00 ps -fe

inside the container I can create files just fine:

/i2psnark $ touch test
/i2psnark $ ls -lah test
-rwxrwx---    1 1040     65536          0 Feb 15 23:45 test

I was running into a similar issue with the .i2p directory and I resolved that by moving it off the file share in the short term, but I want to move it back and I don't have space to put the i2psnark directory on local disk.
