I don't know but I can't access it since I updated to 3.0 i2pd.

I kind of miss the old internet and did some browsing in Neocities but it still didn't feel right.

Many people say i2p feels a bit like the old internet but I just wanted to know if the eepsites were genuinely worth looking around or if they were just like idk boring "dark web", sensationalist, wannabe-hacker kind of stuff or more creative/geeky projects analogous to those of the early days.

Hey everyone,
I’m currently setting up a localized, fully air-gapped multi-agent architecture inspired by the recent advances in open reasoning models. The core concept relies on a closed-loop system:
The Brain: A local reasoning model (DeepSeek-R1 distilled variants, 32B/70B) utilizing heavy Chain-of-Thought (System 2) to plan and write system-level code.
The Executor: A smaller, high-throughput model (like Hermes/Llama-3) that deploys, tests, and runs these scripts within an isolated local Linux sandbox.
The Loop: Automatic log capture, error parsing, and recursive self-correction (Rejection Sampling / local GRPO fine-tuning via Unsloth) to achieve recursive software optimization without calling external, centralized APIs.
The ultimate long-term goal is to transition this from a single-node setup into a highly resilient, decentralized P2P topology (a mesh network of independent local nodes cooperating over encrypted channels).
I’m looking for like-minded developers, systems engineers, and AI researchers who are passionate about absolute data sovereignty, local agentic loops, and decentralized infrastructures.

If you are working on something similar, experimenting with automated local fine-tuning loops, or interested in the architecture of decentralized AI mesh networks, let’s connect. Drop a comment or send a DM to sync up.
Stay local. Stay sovereign.

I’ve been working on an iPhone app that embeds the C++ i2pd router. It has a built-in .i2p browser, the i2pd web console, router diagnostics, an address book, and a safe shutdown Live Activity timer in dynamic island.

The project targets iOS 17 and later. The source code and an unsigned IPA are available. To install the IPA, you’ll need to sign it with your own valid certificate.

This is a prototype. The background restriction bypass is experimental, and iOS may still suspend or terminate the router. I haven’t verified it on real iPhone but on simulator of iPhone 18 pro with ios 27 it works.

Is there a VPS Hoster directly available in the i2p network for hosting eepsites?

Hi all,

Very interesting project.

Can someone tell me if the built-in torrent client can accidentally use the clearnet so it's better to have a kill switch in place if something breaks or does the built-in client only works over i2p?

Thanks

Due to circumstances beyond my control, my ability to communicate about release has been severely limited this quarter. However, work is progressing essentially on schedule, major changes are in, bugs are being fixed, and release will happen on October 20th as planned last month.

Thanks for your patience, Idk

Using 2.13.0-0-win(on win7), it reads jetty.xml on the same folder which i2p.exe exist.
//I installed program on custom folder.
//I copy back config on appdata\Local\i2peasy but it still don't use this folder.

and copy config/eepsite to upper folder still not work. It don't show red logs anymore but jetty still don't start. (because the flag icon on tunnels don't show)

If I have tunnels configured in both /var/lib/i2pd/ and in /etc/i2pd/ which takes precedent? They are different and there is overlap in only one entry - for port 4448. i2pd console does not show this many tunels though - can it be that both are getting read?

I2P is a Peer 2 peer network It needs people like you to work. If you dont enable port forwarding you cant properly contribute to I2P because users can’t connect to you directly. If you forward your ports I2P will become a faster and lower latency network.

If you can’t forward ports because youre behind CGNAT contact your internet provider and try to get IPv6. Even that alone would be a big contribution to I2P.

If that isnt possible too get a VPN that supports port forwarding (thats what i did)

sharing is caring.

I was in a workshop where we played with i2p and it seems the traditional way to use i2p is to run a router on localhost, and have your app use the router via the SAM protocol.

Running the router adds a lot of friction, especially on mobile. I realized that we can just connect to a remote, possibly shared router.

What are the trade-offs here? Can I simply share my router with friends?

I want to ask everyone, before touching i2p and other privacy projects or realizing changes to my own privacy issues, has my privacy already been leaked?

Hello, I've just discovered I2P and after using it a bit, I wanted to know if, like on Tor, there are wikis that list websites

My old post here https://www.reddit.com/r/i2p/comments/1pxv52a/instruction_how_to_create_secret_tunnel_inside/ was deleted by reddit as well as my other posts on Reddit and more important my own subreddit too. By the way I try to restore knowledge for all our community reposting from my logs. If something happens again with this post, feel free to post this instruction by yourself, I don't need glory or anything like this keeping this text under my name.

Here is the instruction how to create SECRET tunnel between computers, computer and phone, phone and phone.

I didn't find posts about this topic here. This instruction will explain how to create secret i2p tunnel between server(computer with Linux) and client(Android phone) for all people and for myself so I can access to it from anywhere in case I have new phone/laptop or purged all data on it for crossing the state borders.

Firstly, you need to have binaries on server from there github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd-tools/ You can build them and save. And for sure you should have already installed i2pd on your computer and phone.

Let's start create a secret tunnel:

1. Now we generate file of secret tunnel for server(computer with Linux):

./keygen yourserver.dat 11

1. Copy this file to i2pd folder on server(computer with Linux):

sudo cp yourserver.dat /var/lib/i2pd/

1. Now we should find destination address for client(Android phone) config:

./keyinfo -b yourserver.dat (we should save address in the string which starts "b33 address:" for step 6)

1. Now we should find public and private keys for server and client configs:

./x25519 (save both strings, we will need them later in step 5 and 6)

1. Now we create config for server(computer with Linux) in tunnels.conf file located in /etc/i2pd/tunnels.conf

[anynameforserverconfig]

type = server

host = 127.0.0.1

port = 22 (for example we create a secret i2p tunnel for ssh service, so we chose port 22)

inport = 22666 (can be any number, just remember to use the same number in client config too)

inbound.length = 1 (1 for faster speed, for more anonymous traffic choose 2,3, etc)

outbound.length = 1 (1 for faster speed, for more anonymous traffic choose 2,3, etc)

inbound.quantity = 4

outbound.quantity = 4

inbound.backupQuantity = 2 (reduce traffic when inactive)

outbound.backupQuantity = 2 (reduce traffic when inactive)

i2cp.reduceOnIdle = true

keys = yourserver.dat

signaturetype = 11

i2cp.leaseSetType = 5

i2cp.leaseSetAuthType = 1

i2cp.leaseSetClient.dh.001 = anyname:publickey (insert here public key from step 4)

1. Now we create config for client(Android phone) in file which should be copied to /sdcard/i2pd/tunnels.conf on Android phone:

[anynameforclientconfig]

type = client

host = 127.0.0.1

port = 22666 (same number as in server config, so your ssh client should use port 22666 for connection)

inbound.length = 1 (1 for faster speed, for more anonymous traffic choose 2,3, etc)

outbound.length = 1 (1 for faster speed, for more anonymous traffic choose 2,3, etc)

inbound.quantity = 4

outbound.quantity = 4

inbound.backupQuantity = 2 (reduce traffic when inactive)

outbound.backupQuantity = 2 (reduce traffic when inactive)

i2cp.dontPublishLeaseSet = true

destination = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.b32.i2p (insert address saved from step 3)

keys = yourclient.dat

i2cp.leaseSetPrivKey = privatekey (insert here private key from step 4)

1. Now restart i2pd on server(computer with Linux), wait for 5-10 minutes, restart i2pd on client(Android phone). All should work now.

Signing the outer layer of an encrypted LeaseSet needs a key blinded from the destination's signing key for each day, which offlinekeys cannot produce. b33offlinekeys derives that material offline, once per day of the batch, and appends it to a normal offline-signed key file. The router gets a file it can publish with for the whole batch, and the destination's signing key never leaves the offline machine.

I’m curious if anyone here has ever tested a DC++ client and hub entirely over I2P.

I’ve started working on a fork of existing DC++ client and hub projects with the goal of making them I2P-only. The idea is to block normal clearnet connections completely and make setup as simple as possible.

Before I spend too much time on it, I’d like to know if anyone thinks this is actually useful or if there are technical reasons why DC++ is a poor fit for I2P.

EDIT

AirDC++ and Luadch are communicating over real I2P through SAM, with separate i2pd instances on each node. Hub connections work, chat works, search works, file lists work both ways, and real file transfers work in both directions.

I’ve also tested larger ISO transfers and verified the files with SHA-256 afterwards.

The Windows client is currently keeping its DC traffic on loopback and letting i2pd handle the actual external traffic. I’ve tested things like killing i2pd in the middle of a transfer and trying normal clearnet hub addresses, and so far the client has failed closed instead of falling back to normal TCP/UDP.

There’s still work left: a few more fail-closed tests, hostile/malformed peer data testing, GUI cleanup, packaging, and a proper security review of the I2P-specific changes.

The final goal is basically: install it, start it, connect to an I2P DC hub. No port forwarding, UPnP, SOCKS or manual I2P setup.

Estimated time to a decent public PoC on github: around 3 weeks.

for unrelated reasons, I switched to a distro based on debian 13, and I immediately couldn't install the repository required to do the debian install in the documentation like I could in the other distro (devuan 6), so I went ahead and installed from the jar file, and now I can't connect to any eepsites whatsoever. Librewolf displays "server not found" upon attempting to access any eepsite, and so does firefox. I believe my ports are set up right since I sure didn't touch anything since installing i2p, and the router has been running for at least 45 minutes, though it took far less time in previous installations.

I will say that I am in fact firewalled, however my firewall of choice (OpenSnitch) isn't blocking anything right now. Should be noted that it still says I'm firewalled.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What I mean about AI has more to do with AI being contained to a sandbox that can someone hack into other parts of the internet through various small cracks and I wonder if I2P is entirely separate from the normal internet where it's immune to such problems.

i spent one year in prison with no internet access, was I2Pd(I2P for Android) messenger built withing this period of time?
