I2P install failing in Debian LXC

I'm trying to install I2P in a LXC container under Proxmox which is based on the Debian 12 template, by following the Debian instructions here Debian/Ubuntu - I2P

but it failed near the end of the process. I don't think the AppArmour errors are critical, I probably just don't have that installed. The dpkg error seems to be the fatal one, but I do have dpkg installed and I can run it and dpkg--configure so I don't know what that failed.

Use computer running i2p as router

I've changed the ip in 00-net.i2p.router.web.RouterConsoleRunner-clients.config to my local ip but when i use another device on the network it gives me a 403 request denied error and tells me to add a line to "advanced configuration", how can i fix this?

Is setting a per-tunnel hop count of 1 when torrenting over I2P equivalent to torrenting over a VPN (without I2P)?

Specifically, I would like to know in terms of the level of anonymity.

Ethical question

By using I2P, everyone contributes by being a node, unlike Tor. What has been on my mind is that by being a node I may be contributing to an illegal activity. Is that a valid concern?

How long does it take to be fully integrated into the network?

Hi all,

I was wondering how long it would take to be fully integrated into the network, with the number of active peers being close to the number of known peers. I would say that after about 2 hours of uptime my router is integrated very well and can reach all the eepsites I want, but the number of active peers is not close to the number of known peers. To illustrate, my known peers are 4700 but my active peers are only 1600. Is it supposed to be this way? I would love to hear your experiences with network integration.

Thanks!

How to Improve I2P torrent Upload Speeds

Hi everyone,

I'm currently running a VPS server with a 2.5 Gbps connection and using it to seed files onto the I2P network. However, I've noticed that the download speeds are quite low, around 30 KB/s, even though both my server and the receiving device have high speed internet connections.

I've already configured both the sender and receiver to use the maximum 16 tunnels. I'm considering setting up multiple I2P routers using Docker containers on my VPS to increase the number of seeders and possibly improve download speeds, I think that's the only way to increase upload speed.

I have also tried to increase the max outbound tunnel configuration so that I can use more than 16 tunnels, but I can't. I am using i2pplus btw.

Does anyone know any other way to increase the speed?

Regards.

Fore score and seven years ago I have been interested in trying i2P, probably since 2010-2011. Mainly, I’ve wanted to use it for torrenting on a private tracker, but the concept has always fascinated me in general. However, I’ve struggled to figure it out on my own. Lately, ChatGPT has been a great help with my Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu setups, so I’m wondering if it can guide me through configuring and setting up i2P as well.

For those of you who use it, what do you use i2P for, and what’s the community like these days? Is it still thriving? I remember when both i2P and TOR were still in their early stages, but I’ve always been drawn more to i2P because it seemed lower profile—or at least that’s how I’ve always perceived it. Any insights would be appreciated!

This keeps your original thoughts but flows a bit smoother.

I want links to i2p or a search engine that gives me links to i2p. That does not contain censorship for anything. Where can I get it?

Override discovery on i2p’s upnp

I am currently working on getting I2P to run well in a Qubes VM. I can use it, but it is firewalled, which I would like to avoid if possible. On another device, I can see that it is okay for IPV4, so that rules out the router as being the issue. That device uses Upnp, which I am struggling to get to work well in Qubes. However, I think I can get it to work so long as I override the "discovery" phase with the url of the igd device config (in upnpc, this would be running upnpc -u <url> <command>). However, I can't figure out a way to override the discovery part in either the Java implementation or i2pd, and the errors they give make it clear that they are failing at discovery.

Any thoughts/ideas?

i2psnark-rpc

Is there a possibility to load i2psnark-rpc as xpi2p or as su3 file to run it as a plugin? Or how do I install it without the files?

Is there also a standalone version of snark with RPC ?

Would the Tor de-anonymization theoratically work on I2P?

Hi,

I recently read the news and saw that German authorities managed to de-anonymize some Tor users through time analysis attacks. Would this work with I2P as well? In theory, of course. I don't think it would be very convenient. What do you think?

Does i2psnark automatically seed torrents I'm downloading?

I'm pretty new to all of this and I'm downloading a few torrents I found on the postman tracker website. I was wondering if, while I'm downloading these torrents, i2spnark automatically seeds them as well and if this also happens after I finish the download.

The upload section doesn't show any bytes uploaded and only a "-" and I don't know if this is just because no one else has downloaded the torrents since I started seeding them or because I am simply not seeding them. Can anyone help?

Could I be prosecuted for lawfully using i2p?

Let's say police is somehow able to seize a server hosting illegal/harmful content (supposing not due to a IP leak from i2p). The server likely has traces of IPs which have had a connection to it (logs, cache and similar). At this point my home computer-relay could have been used as an end point to connect to that server by someone else, as for obvious reasons I2P is a network over the standard network.

Could I be prosecuted for that? Has anyone been persecuted for similar circumstances?

Using I2p in Prowlarr

Hi there,

I'm currently trying to setup my I2p router with prowlarr. Unfortunately I'll always get a timeout error. I2p is working fine, I'm able to visit the i2p network and the sites (like postman tracker) without any problems.

Maybe someone has an idea what I am doing wrong

Update:

I solved my problem by restarting the prowlarr container and doing the exact same thing again.
But this time I was able to click the "Save" button even after I got the "timout error"

Configure i2psnark to use a different download directory?

Hello. I'm getting a little frustrated with this suite. I installed the I2P Mac easy install bundle and have been trying to get either i2psnark or BiglyBT working (I don't particularly like the BiglyBT resource hog, but Transmission has no support, seemingly).

I think I kinda got BiglyBT working somehow. The process seems quite opaque (just run i2p and the Bigly plugin and somehow it kinda works....slowly). I would like to try i2psnark but there doesn't appear to be any way to change the download directory so I'm not using my primary hard drive. Surely I'm not the only person who doesn't want to store terabytes of crap on their primary drive.

So I went looking for a setting. Nothing. I went looking for a configure file mentioning download directory. Can't find one. Anyone have a clue? Thanks

Update i2p manually?

I have the easyi2p installed and when I click on the update button it downloads the i2pwinupdate.su3 However that's where things break down. It's never updated. Is there somewhere I can move the file to manually update my installation?
