I2P Network
I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.
I2pd: (I2P Daemon) is a full-featured C++ implementation of I2P client.
Installing i2p i2pd
i2p_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf (FreeBSD)
i2p_user="i2p" >> /etc/rc.conf (FreeBSD)You may need to enable the network in KDE System Settings > Network Settings > Use manually specified proxy configuration >> Exceptions 127.0.0.1, localhost
KDE System Settings > Network Settings > Use Manually Specified Proxy Configuration > HTTP – SSL - FTP Proxy >> IP 127.0.0.1, Port 4444 (This will be Connected via I2P)
To work with Privoxy add the following line to the Privoxy configuration file: forward .i2p localhost:4444
Outproxy Terms Of Service
Remember: I2P was not designed for creating proxies to the outer Internet. Instead, it is meant to be used as an internal network.
The I2P project itself does not run any proxies to the Internet. The only outproxy is a service from the privacy solutions project. Consider donating to them for a continued stable service. Increased funding will allow them to improve this service.
By default, I2P comes with two outproxies configured: false.i2p and outproxy-tor.meeh.i2p. Even the domain names are different, it's the same outproxy you hit. (multi-homed/keyed for better performance)
Filtering is active on these outproxies (for example, mibbit and torrent tracker access is blocked). Eepsites that are accessible via .i2p addresses are also not allowed via the outproxies. As a convenience, the outproxy blocks ad servers.
Tor is a good application to use as an outproxy to the Internet.
I2P In Private Browsing
This is an Experimental webextension which introduces a set of new "Private Browsing" modes to Firefox-based browsers(Supporting webextensions) that makes it easier to configure a browser to use I2P securely and adds features for making I2P applications easier to use. It does this by isolating I2P-specific settings to Contextual Identities within Firefox, then loading them automatically when the user requests them. It also adds convenience and management features specific to I2P like protocol handlers and native messaging systems.
