Problem with outproxy

Posted by privacy_is_dead in I2P (edited )

I'm quite new to i2p so I'm still getting my bearings. I found this thread:

http://ramble.i2p/f/I2P/629/the-easiest-way-to-get-the-most-out-of-i2p-update-your

It's old and I've replied, but I figure not many people will see it so I'm posting my issue here.

I use this I2P software: http://i2p-projekt.i2p/

I was able to add the subscriptions suggested in that thread, but I am having trouble with the outproxy.

  1. First, my understanding is that an outproxy would allow my to visit regular internet sites without my IP being traceable? So I should be able to visit things like regular google.com
  2. I tried purokishi.i2p but it seems to not be reachable. Is this temporary or has the service stopped? What else can I try and how do I properly test if it is working (currently I simply try to visit google.com).

Thanks!

welcome to i2p

purokishi is a good working outproxy last i checked, though the default outproxy is stormycloud: exit.stormycloud.i2p. outproxy.acetone.i2p is also one to try

Hey I have a question: on the right hand side of these forums there is a section "Outproxies" which contains:

  • outproxy.acetone.i2p
  • purokishi.i2p
  • stormycloud.i2p

I noticed that stormycloud.i2p does not work, bui that seems to be because the correct address is exit.stormycloud.i2p

Could it be that purokishi.i2p also has a different actual name?

So, I managed to get outproxy.acetone.i2p working but it is extremely slow. I am trying exit.stormycloud.i2p now which seems to be faster. Thank you!
