6/24/2023 0 Comments Raspberry pi i2p![]() Now we can move on to starting i2pd and actually connecting to I2P! Running i2pd So for example, one could navigate to and it would take the traffic through I2P, to purokishi.i2p, and out on the normal Internet to gnu.org.Īnd that’s it! If you are running it on a separate machine and don’t need any outproxies then the default configuration is fine. This is where I2P will route any addresses not on the I2P network to. Here I just changed the address value for the same reason I did in the http section. This will be needed for browsing normal HTTP I2P sites, so it’s important to get right. Next I changed the httpproxy section, which sets up the HTTP proxy. If you are the only one on your local network you can delete this. This is so other devices on the local network can’t access the web console without a password. I also added auth = true and a username and password. This is necessary to be able to access this from other machines on your local network. įrom the default configuration I have changed the address value to the IP of the device on my local network. If you are running this on your main machine you won’t need this. First I will edit the Web Console settings, down in the http section. This file accepts INI-like syntax, see link for exceptions, or you could just start editing the file, it’s quite self-explanatory. The main configuration file should be at /etc/i2pd/nf. For any other systems you can find instructions here. It is available in the main Debian repositories, but it’s very out-of-date (as is usual). On Debian-based systems you may want to add the i2pd repository to install it. If you use an Arch GNU+Linux based distribution (like Parabola) you can find it as i2pd in the main Arch Linux community repository. Do keep in mind this is entirely optional though, you can run I2P on your main machine with no negative side-effects, you just won’t be contributing as much to the I2P network Setting up i2pdįirst you will need to install i2pd. I use a Raspberry Pi, but you could use any computer that can stay on for most of the day. One more thing, you may want to set up i2pd on a separate device to run all the time if you use it somewhat often. The official client is written in Java, but there is also i2pd, written in C++, which is what I will be using in this tutorial. Getting on I2PĪlthough connecting to I2P is harder than connecting to Tor, it’s still pretty easy to do. Also, since everyone is a node there’s a reason to leave I2P on when you’re not browsing it. On I2P different protocols are common, IRC and Bittorrent (which is recommended against using on Tor) are two common examples. With Tor you can use different protocols, but it’s not very common. One reason for this is that I2P is less focused on HTTP. You can do this, through what is known as an outproxy, but there are very few of these and most browsing on I2P stays on I2P.Īnother difference is I2P does not come with a browser bundle like Tor does, you have to set up a proxy manually. I2P is also less focused on allowing users to connect to the normal Internet. On Tor you just send your traffic to certain known nodes, but on I2P you are also helping carry others’ traffic through the I2P network. Probably the greatest difference between I2P and Tor is that in I2P everyone is a node. There are plenty of other darknets available, and I may try some of them in the future, but this article is dedicated to I2P. One of the other darknets available is I2P, or the Invisible Internet Project, which is what I’m talking about in this article. This is what is known as a darknet, and Tor is just one of the different darknets that exist (Tor has become so well known that some use “darknet” to refer to Tor). ![]() It’s a network that relays traffic between servers around the world to anonymize its users. Most people reading this have probably hear of Tor by now. Originally published on November 25th, 2021 If you wish to give me a tip, tipping me with LBC on LBRY is the best way.
