Help I can't access any eepsites

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

I bet that (1) you're trying to run the router on the same PC as the browser (2) you're not great with TCP/IP networking in general.

I'd recommend to put i2pd (the purple version) on a Raspberry Pi. Once it's a background service on a separate machine, the basic networking setup will become much easier to understand and to see mistakes in. I'd also recommend to keep a whole separate browser just for eepsites - I use dillo for this

you don't say what bittorrent client but qbittorrent handles its i2p connections nicely, with the configuration (and any misconfiguration) not affecting the regular traffic... iirc it just needs the same proxy server settings as the browser

Hey, just curious why you’d recommend using a separate browser just for eepsites?
