[Solved] How to access .onion sites from I2P ? (cause : somehow I2Pd was running on startup as root)

Posted by invertedlurker in I2P (edited )

So I'm pretty new to this whole thing, I learned I2P basics (and I mean, really basic stuff), tried out both I2P and I2P+, eventually decided to stick with the latter. I've tried to access the official Tor project website or the Hidden Wiki .onion sites. That doesn't work, I always get "Host (insert long name here) not inside I2P network, but outproxy is not enabled". How can I get this to work ?

As a side note, I do not want to use anything outside of I2P itself or its ecosystem. That means no Tor browser if possible, because I might mess up and compromise my anonymity on accident.

Thanks in advance for helping !

If you disabled the default configured outproxy in your HTTP Proxy Client tunnel, you won't be able to access clearnet or .onion sites. In your HTTP Proxy tunnel, restore the purokishi.i2p outproxy for HTTP and HTTPS if you wish to access .onion sites over .i2p. You can configure multiple outproxies if you want some random variation, e.g. purokishi.i2p,exit.stormycloud.i2p,outproxy.acetone.i2p.

It never was disabled in the first place. But I added all these outproxies as you suggested. Still nothing. geez I wish I could show you pictures to make sure I'm not doing it wrong.

(also why is the title of every failed access "I2Pd HTTP proxy" ? I'm not using it as far as I know)

By the way here are the startup logs of the tunnel. Port 4444 fails, that might be why

<div>

</div>

Translated from French because even though I set English, network errors are in my language.

guessing ports 4444 and 6668 are in use already, any chance another router is running somehow? id figure out what's running those ports and/or change them

So I'm coming back, and I actually figured it out. Somehow, there was an instance of I2Pd that was set to run on startup with root privileges. "sudo lsof -i:4444" was what it took to find it. because I didn't think about using lsof with sudo. I killed that instance and also uninstalled I2Pd, to not have problems like that again, and because I never use it anyways. Yeah, you're right.
