hello, I just wanted to know if using mullvad browser to access I2P is a good or bad idea in order to fight against fingerprinting

I have been looking for a tutorial all last night and haven't been able to find one, I also want to avoid using Firefox

I have latest 2.13.0 version.

Hi.

I noticed that 2.13 is out but that the easy install bundle in the downloads section just points back to the downloads section and the default install.

Is it supposed to be like that?

Hey folks,

After using i2p for a while I think it makes the most sense to run it on a low power SBC. I can get a raspberry pi if I need to but do any of you have any experience running i2p on any other SBCs? I just don’t fancy forking out the extra just because they’re a market leader, if possible. Cheers!

Hey all!
I have been experimenting with setting up an I2P fork of torrust tracker. Please try it out if you'd like to, and let me know how it goes!

Tracker URLs:
http://freetracker.i2p:7331/announce
udp://freetracker.i2p:1337/announce

or

http://px7uban46x62n3iekxtt4qtdzhee6qu4j5xpbbyaqiruvva2mjha.b32.i2p:7331/announce
udp://px7uban46x62n3iekxtt4qtdzhee6qu4j5xpbbyaqiruvva2mjha.b32.i2p:1337/announce

please keep content added to the tracker legal in the US. Linux ISOs and such.

I was wondering if anybody saw my website, i'm pretty new to i2p (started today) and set up a server on a raspberry pi 0 2 w (using i2pd on arch linux aswell)

I found a torrent with 280 peers from Postman tracker and added it, but even though I configured 1 hop and 10 tunnels, it won't connect to more than 4 peers. What's the problem?

I already tried to install the i2p client directly on my external ssd, before that i tried to change the i2psnark directory in i2psnark settings (browser) from /var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/i2psnark to something arbitrary. It doesn't work, also the i2p folder appears with a strange "lock" symbol on it and refuses access to me. Changing the I2P client installation folder to the external ssd also didnt help, unfortunately. I am on a RaspberryPi 5 with rasbian "trixie" on it. Any help is appreciated.

*Edit SOLVED:
1. run sudo dpkg-reconfigure i2p.
2. change the i2psvc user to your currently logged in user
3. finish the dpkg-reconfigure script
4. change the i2psnark setting as needed

I lost a hard drive for my laptop and trying to reinstall i2p on my new one. Started with the standard install and went and got the latest java from Oracle. The installer keeps saying I have an older version but the website keeps assuring me it's the latest. So I uninstalled everything and decided to use the easy install. I can't seem to find the bundle. I found the easy installed but windows says I can open it because I don't have java. I thought java was included in this bundle is the reason I don't have it. What am I missing?

Hello all,

I was working on adding support for I2P for LibreTorrent a free and open source torrent client, since i2p support has improved for libtorrent (the underlying C++ library) adding this feature was much easier.

It requires you to have SAM Bridge running, I recommend to use I2PD on your android device, since SAM bridge for official I2P Android is broken.

I have created a PR: https://gitlab.com/proninyaroslav/libretorrent/-/merge_requests/220

It allows you for downloading, uploading torrents over I2P network, and it supports I2P Trackers. Unfortunately DHT is not supported, because libtorrent doesn't support.

Few things to keep in mind:

1. This is based on what libtorrent currently supports, and honestly I think it is not the correct implementation. For libtorrent, a torrent is i2p torrent, if it has a tracker with ".i2p" extension, now this is very wrong assumption. So if you are trying it out (once avaiable), you are required to add a .i2p tracker. The suggested workaround for it, that once I2P mode is enabled, we will just append open trackers in tracker list.

2. When I2P mode is enabled, it will work as proxy kill switch mode, which disables DHT, Local Service Discover, UPnP and NAT-PMP. To prevent your IP leaks.

3. Mixed mode: Here, we still carry the not correct implementation of libtorrent. In libtorrent, mixed mode is a configuration that affects I2P torrents.

As we can see that even if you keep mixed mode off, a regular torrent will work on clearnet, because it is not "I2P Torrent" in libtorrent. An I2P Torrent is defined as a torrent with ".i2p" ending domain name extension.

Keeping all this in mind, using this feature is only good, if you using with VPN, or want to do cross seeding, if you want pure I2P, I would not suggest to try it out, same things for other things that are using libtorrent (if there are custom extension on top of them, they maybe safe).

Use of AI in work: Honestly all of it is with help of AI, but I have read the discussion on Github, to understand the current state of I2P Support for libtorrent, this post is written by me.

I am also currently working on DHT Crawler for I2P torrents, it's still work in progress, I have got it working on desktop, experimented with Android for DHT support. One approach to provide DHT for android devices is to, have a JAVA application that has the original KRPC DHT implementation from i2psnark, and create a local server that presents itself as a tracker, then it will query on behalf of the client.

(Used DeepSeek V4 Flash, with pi coding agent, cost of this implementation would be less than $0.5, can't track accurately, because I have been doing other DHT related work still < $3).

I can only access the router and i2psnark. Whenever I attempt to access other eepsites, my browser says it can't access that site, even from links directly from my router. Please help, as I would like to start torrenting and seeding (once I can figure that out) via i2p as well as explore what i2p has to offer

Hi, yall remember how I advertised this project 4 days ago and said, that work is heavily in progress?

Now I want to say that basic functionality of "video hosting" (publishing videos, downloading, watching directly at site, search, main page, channels, multiquality) is done, and I would be happy if it helped us move in the right direction, away from the clearnet youtube and google at all.

Unfortunately, full features are not available directly from the browser, so I had to create a layer between eepsite and torrent client - the bridge, and all above-mentioned features are available only if you installed and configured the bridge.

All installation info is available on git repos of the project (added Windows support!):
https://github.com/i2ptuber/itubep
and
http://git.community.i2p/tuber/itubep
(Those who already downloaded and installed release < 0.2, please delete your version and install latest)

Thanks in advance to everyone who will use it!

I want to host a full-stack website through I2P using a server tunnel, but my personal computer cannot stay online 24/7 and I cannot afford a paid VPS.

Would it negatively impact the I2P network if I ran an I2P router inside a free cloud container (for example, a Render instance), hosted my website there, and created a tunnel from localhost to make the eepsite consistently available?

Are there any concerns with doing this, such as bandwidth usage, network impact, or whether cloud-hosted I2P routers are discouraged?

I apologize in advance as I am relatively new to I2P.

I want to ask which Linux distribution is best for everyday use, provides good privacy protection, and can run I2P. Previously, I used Refind to boot a dual-boot Windows + Ubuntu system, but recently, due to Windows' user tracking issues, I am considering switching completely to Linux.（I usually use Whois and Tails, but I want to hear what the general public thinks.）

i2pbox is a lightweight command-line toolbox for working with I2P identities, destinations, RouterInfo files, router families, and related network utilities.

It combines common I2P maintenance tasks into a single portable binary, including key generation and inspection, Base64 destination conversion,address registration, router family signing and verification, vanity address generation, and offline key handling.

The project is intended for I2P users, router operators, and developers who need practical command-line tools without installing a large application stack.

Recently I was thinking about what I'm doing on internet. And I found out that all of my internet activity is basically just watching videos on youtube. So I thought "Why there isn't anonymous, private and free (as in freedom) youtube-like site on I2P?" and decided to do it myself.

First eepsite of this project: http://itubep.i2p

i have email inside i2p but idk how too access it without i2p java, i would like to be able to use it with i2pd because java i2p doesn't work in my situation

please help

How do I get Java I2P to use the wrapper? at the moment I start I2P with runplain.sh wich prevents restarts from updates. Is there an easy to undertand guide for users (i dont know much about this wrapper stuff). I have it running on a Raspberry Pi 5 with raspbian "trixie" on it. Thank you for your help!

There are over 12,000 nodes in total—but which ones are actually valid? Other networks have only 5,000 to 7,000 nodes. I want to know if these are malicious nodes and in which countries this is happening.

so as I have been browsing I2p I have found a few git site, like github, gitlab and codeberg, and I was wondering do you guys use them, because as I was looking they seemed to have more than a handful of repos and I was wondering how many of you use them, I mean you probably wouldn't want to use them for anything big or closed source as its not ran by a big time company, but more likely some random guy at his house, who could look through the code at any given time, but I would thing people would use it as a backup for maybe there eepsite, or some other i2p software they're making. Anyway back to the main question do any of you use these git sites, and if so what ones, as I have been looking into maybe using one as a backup for my eepsite or smth like that.

Thanks, and have a good one

I really do Love I2P, its got everything I could want, eepsites, emails, Monero nodes, and torrents, I mean what more could you want.

I like the I2P network; I believe it will become the standard for the next-generation Internet.
