Hey sorry about that downtime :(

I've been having really serious issues on both the server and my laptop also running I2P+ at the moment (100% unusable issues hit both until I find a way to fix it, and had a lot going on lately).

I've been trying different things (nothing changed on my network, no firewall changes) and only was able to post this after bringing i2pd server online today - so I could try to find info out on my issue.

I'm sort of wondering if my routers got banned or something unexpected. I do run a set up with various randomization related things that I wondered if could have triggered it.

I'm really confused as to why my routers aren't working ATM.

Not meaning to go on a rant, but you can in the meantime find the post on clearnet as I'm working on my I2P+ routers (I'm going to jump on IRC now that I have i2pd to use i2p for research / repair efforts).

My I2P java has been having issues building tunnels and keeps saying network restrictions - this might have started 2wk ago but I can't seem to build tunnels long enough to do anything.

Going to try reinstalling i2P+ and hope it fixes my issue, but also blog depends on my install so trying to plan this in a way I won't lose anything.

Until I find a fix (going to reach out to community now that I have a way on i2p with i2pd), you can see the same post on clearnet until I figure this out: https://bmc.link/politictech/selfhosting-i2p-xmpp-servers

Sorry about the unexpected downtime for anyone trying to visit. :(

Hopefully will be able to get the i2p blog back / stable within couple days, as plan to try more tomorrow.
