Killer app? Hard to say. There are many fun things to do here. In my limited spare time I write software that tests eepsites to check what can be found. I wrote it a while back as it was difficult to find working sites. Frustrated with this, a solution! http://notbob.i2p

It's not a killer site by any means. But, it lets you find content on the i2p network with ease. It only lists sites that work.

http://purokishi.i2p/

This is the outproxy you want. Disable false.i2p in your config.

Create a new tunnel in http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnelmgr

Set it to start on load. Set the port to 4444.

Set your outproxies to "purokishi.i2p".

As for the encryption type? You can leave it at "Both", but this outproxy only uses ECIES. Either will work.

Save the config. Make sure to disable the default outproxy, false.i2p and then start the new one. You will have a much faster time browsing the clearnet via i2p.

Honestly, not much yet. I'm waiting on services from the clearnet to be accessible on I2P. Also, it's really slow so besides text and images, I can't consume videos reasonably. They'd have to load for a few minutes before being watchable.

I2P doesn't have that killer app or service yet. It needs something like PopcornTime or Napster (yeah, I'm old) that can excite the masses. People don't care about privacy or anonymity, just that stuff looks nice, is free and works fluidly; that's what I2P needs.

What would y'all consider a killer app for I2P?

So much.. Torrents, anonymous communication ie; i2P Chat, email, Bote

IRC and for building tunnels to servers to make content available / publishing content and projects to the network.

It's definitely faster now! I was surprised and initially thought it was my I2P router than suddenly decided to speed up..

I'm happy to see that. Glad to see that it's fast on your end as well.

How do you run multiple routers?

Nice to know the priority option exists!

( MayVaneDay Studios - I'm not entirely certain. )

It's my personal site. Should go under the "Personal web pages / blogs / misc" section.

Oh, I like that! I'll link to it in my next list update like I've done not_bob's and copy any that hasn't already been covered. Looks good!

My go-to lists for new routers!

I tried 0.7.something and it didn't wanna work for shit, but apparently it runs fine now.

Note that hosts.txt has the offensive sites removed. hosts-all.txt has everything.

Remember to use http://notbob.i2p to find the newest sites and see what sites work!

Happy new year!

Also as an onion service now: http://q2jfwysxnuwtysvdxr42uwaqlpre2zdc5tleurrzpzxudc4dg3hpreid.onion/

But I'm trying to generate a 7 letter vanity URL right now, so it'll probably change to rssfeedXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.onion "soon".

Last update: 01/01/2021 - Happy New Year (added 3 new links, I need to check /u/not_bob 's site more often for new links to add :) )

Good, good.

A lot faster now. Thank you.

Setting up multi-homing now. I've got two routers in two different continents, so even if one router is down it should still be resolvable.

Aside from your recent downtime, things are pretty snappy now. That change was the right one to make.

Good!

Thanks to the magic of scripting and cron (and term99), we now have an update url for automated I2P+ dev build updates from within the console.

To enable updating with unsigned zip files, add the line: routerconsole.advanced=true to your router.config file located in your configuration directory (not the application dir) and then browse to http://127.0.0.1:7657/configupdate and add the following url to the "Update with unsigned development builds" section: http://skank.i2p/dev/i2pupdate.zip

Be sure to enable the option, then save, and then hit the "Check for updates" button. It may take a few tries before the proxy responds, and then you'll see an update notification in the sidebar (if a new update is available).

It's also recommended to set the update policy to "Notify only" to ensure you don't update with vanilla I2P releases, and can update at a time of your choosing.

If you'd prefer to update with release versions, the update url is: http://skank.i2p/i2pupdate.zip

Today, the site is far more responsive. Everything is "snappier." Pages are loading more quickly. Thank you!

Try now, see if there is any noticeable difference in performance on your end.
