I moved to i2p+ from i2pd. I accidentally typed a clearnet address into a browser window configured to use i2p only and it went to the website just fine. It didnt do that before. The latest change was moving to i2p+. How do I find the leak?

EDIT: I tried disabling the http proxy in i2p and browsing in that profile. I was able to reach clearnet. so something in firefox is leaking somehow. EDITEDIT: Removing the IP address of the i2p relay in my network from the no proxy use list in firefox and adding it back in fixed this. I have absolutely no idea how this would cause this.

found it. theres an outproxy in i2p+ by default. Why would that be there? I thought the entire point was to keep traffic internal to the i2p network

It's very useful to have a working outproxy. You will find many sites that are banned when you use Tor, but work just fine though an I2P outproxy.

But, remember to use one browser just for I2P. Never let it touch the normal clearnet. Going through an outproxy is fine though.

Just if anyone finds this, the outproxy is disabled by default in i2pd.
