Isn't that closed source just like Opera was? I got burned using Opera once and then some cool feature was gone forever with no way to bring it back.

Tor (unless someone has some new info for me)

Thanks for this. I only have experience with the Javaless version i2pd so I'll check this out.

I2P is pretty straight forward. You can either install the .deb, the java package from I2P's site or use I2P+ which is what I prefer ( https://i2pplus.com/ ). If using the .deb, just make sure you update it afterwards since the package is almost certainly outdated.

If using a VPS, you'll have to tunnel your localhost desktop traffic to it. I do something like:

ssh -fTNL 4444:127.0.0.1:4444 -L 7657:127.0.0.1:7657 -L 7667:127.0.0.1:7667 -L 7658:127.0.0.1:7658 -L 6668:127.0.0.1:6668 user@remote-ip -p XXXX

Port 4444 = local proxy settings (for browsing I2P network sites), 7657 and 7667 for the console UI in your browser (7667 is SSL, 7657 non-ssl), 7658 is the built in webserver and 6668 is IRC. "XXXX" would just be whatever your remote SSH port is if not 22.

Out of the box, stock I2P is... lacking. The system uses "subscription lists" and an "addressbook" to access network sites. ramble.i2p won't work out of the box, simply because it's not published on their stock subscription list, which is about 40 random network sites of which half of them work, half the time. You either have to add sites to your addressbook manually or by using their "address helper links" or using a published subscription list which contains a lot of sites that'll be added to your addressbook. Check out /f/i2p for more on that.

Yeah I was thinking of setting up my own pastebin or something, since Pastebin.com applies a lot of censorship nowadays with their "SMART" filter. How does setting up an I2P router work? I have experience with installing i2pd but I wouldn't know how to go from there to make it part of the I2P network.

give it to me lmao

You can always run an I2P router if you've not used the network before, or contribute to any other network that interests you. (I need to get a Yggdrasil peer up myself)

Depending on the specs you could run a SearX or YaCy search engine/crawler.

Can always use it as just a test/dev box to learn something new. Or can just setup something like a invidious instance or some other open source privacy related project to share with others.

If you're used to one type of OS, can do something you'd usually do on Debian but use CentOS instead, for example.

Or you can be like me and want to kick your screen through the wall dealing with Ubuntu's use of Netplan when you're used to things like ifconfig for networking. Spaces instead of tabs? Fucking really? I have limited experience with it since I primarily use Debian across the board on everything... From desktop OS at home to server-side stuff. But things I find trivial on Debian made me want to Chuck Norris my monitor into a new dimension doing things like trying to add IPV6 addresses to a box. Hard to teach an old dog new tricks I guess.

I also hate Docker but I just don't do well with change and hate that simple looking things like this site require a stupid amount of underlying components and dependencies.

You can do the opposite of what I do and embrace change and learn from it.

You don't whitelist individual cookies, but domains. Which basically comes down to whitelisting the few sites you have an account and want to stay logged in to. Because that and saving some layout choices is pretty much the only value I've found cookies to provide for users.

Yes that's right, they are 99% useless to end users. That's a good idea actually, browsers should really have better cookie management feature

mf they making you do calculus for a captcha tf

Thanks your attention. It's differential calculus. So it's OK that "1" is 1.

instead of 1 maybe capitol I

Can the mod who removed that post explain himself?

Who has been banned?

Using Lokinet :)

i agree 100% and the guy who made this is a kook but the lizard people part raises some questions, mark zuckerberg?????????? lmao

god i was worried this whole website had gone to shit

Thanks, I thought I tried that the other day and didn't work but may be it's my i2prouter issue.

Usually I2P is super reliable... I actually have two routers in two different continents optimized for multi-homing to serve as the HTTP tunnel to the site. If the site is up, the I2P site is up.

BUT, the other day I moved everything away from Cloudflare (clearnet site) which meant I had to reissue the SSL certificate. In doing so it borked some of the alternative network configurations I had setup in nginx. For 12-16 hours I2P was inaccessible and that was 100% my fault for not testing each network connection. Somehow I2P and Lokinet was responding funnily afterwards.

I2P should be reliable (again) moving forward.

Thanks, I thought I tried that the other day and didn't work but may be it's my i2prouter issue.

That's not the point of the info graphic, though.

Http://ramble.i2p or http://smv3cryi3n7d5ll7xpvlhstubi5yj4dadeltyrdwdr4onwd2jvvq.b32.i2p/

What's the i2p address, please?

Using loki but how to get here via i2p?

I enjoyed your quick review, thanks.

Okay! After some quick review.

I stopped using Cloudflare a few days ago, but according to them the last 30 days had (for clearnet only):

• Unique Visitors: 9,101
• Total Requests: 2,790,988

Today so far, via some log analyzing tools from all traffic sources:

Total Requests 46784 Unique Visitors 619 

Keep in mind that 'unique visitors' will always be incorrect because every request from the Tor network (onion service only) looks the same. Every request from I2P is logged as one of two addresses from the I2P routers that I have creating the HTTP tunnel to the site, every request from LokiNet looks the same as well. This means you can't tell the difference between Onion_UserA and Onion_UserB. But that number DOES include bots/crawlers/spiders as well...

In fact, after review, I'm not certain how I came to my previous determination of saying clearnet was 60+% of traffic, Tor 30%~, etc. I'm not going to go into detail on how logs are kept but there isn't enough data kept to do good analysis and the data I'm using now won't exist 'soon' for later review, either.

Like, for example today it shows 68.68% of visitor's IP is the internal Tor Onion service IP. So, according to what I'm seeing, (today), 69% (kek) of traffic has been from the Tor Onion service (http:// rambleeeqrhty6s5jgefdfdtc6tfgg4jj6svr4jpgk4wjtg3qshwbaad.onion )

In short: I don't really know. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I just know Clearnet, Tor and I2P are the biggest networks. I support Loki and Yggdrasil out of principle and less because we get many visitors from them.

This site launched at the beginning of December so I'll say that I'm happy with the level of activity that exists and hope it continues to grow.
