check out also Hyphanet (Freenet)
it has excellent NO CENSORSHIP forums
FMS

install freenet
open localhost :8888 browse static sites, download files (avoid CP plz) (disclaimer - get only legal files regarding copyrights and all, ofc :3)

then top menu - discussions - FMS - get soure code
read README run cmake with option -D ....
then run make
then ./fms

open localhost :8080
wait an hour or a day
create identity
announce identity solve 10 captcha

talk freely
go to localidentities change Active to FALSE
then you are more hidden (can do it only after captchas are solved and it says you are announced by 5 or more users or no one will see your posts

wait a week or month
create another ID
it is now very s3cr3t (hard to tie to you, you didn't even install Freenet on same day)

you are completely free from censorship now, congrats

Do you have a guide for retards that are just used to win 10 and want to create a pc for secure torrenting and web browsing?

frost ded?

>>1327380
>frost ded?
someone on FMS mentions there are new versions

but FMS solves spam, better use FMS (or both)
see you there anon frens (might want to wait few days before install, and before starting to post more days for timing correlation avoiding)

>>1323562 (OP)
anons, i've been fighting trying to get i2p to work but it's starting to get annoying. The docs are awful btw. I just want to cross-seed.

I have qBittorrent running under docker, it's compiled using libtorrent v2 (linuxserver container, default tag).

I set up another container with the official i2p docker image and even after setting everything up (network status is fine, etc..) qBittorrent still says "Waiting for i2p acceptor from SA bridge".

I ran a shell inside the qbittorrent container and it can connect to the i2p bridge just fine, I opened netcat to the port and I get a HELLO back over it so i'm not sure.

Also official i2p docker image just dies if I kill the container and start again, like the web ui doesn't come back up at all, apparently some known issue for several years now? If I delete the configs it works but then I lose the encryption key and stuff.

>>1333404
I2P feels like a mess and a failed project, a worse version of Tor if you will, it isn't worth your time

>>1333404
>>1334373

I'm back to report that I ended up making it work, however qbittorrent-nox doesn't display the peers on the webui (but at least it works, I managed to download and am seeding a torrent exclusively over i2p). but yeah it does feel like this is a failed/abandoned project anons, i'm keeping it up for as long as it works, the idea is cool and all, but they really need to rework their docs and stuff.
Is a TOR relay gonna allow tor peers to download over tor? I'm not up to running an exit node but I wouldnt mind a relay, the only goal here is to make torrents more accessible as I have the bandwidth to spare. I guess tor isn't really known for torrents anyway so its probably not even worth the effort. I'll check out Hyphanet see how that works.

>>1327380
don't think so

>>1324387
you are sharing pizza now, congrats

So I downloaded i2pd and have no idea how to proceed and set it up, any good guides?

I2P is terrible, I wouldn't bother

>>1340346
The best place with up to date information would be the documentation page.
https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/configuration/

>>1340726
For I2PD from what I can see it picks a random port unless you specifically set a port number yourself.
https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/blob/openssl/contrib/i2pd.conf#L72
You should also check if you have actually opened a port & are not behind CGNAT /w no PCP.
https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

>>1342977
>I2P is terrible, I wouldn't bother
Terrible because you could not figure out how to get it to work or did you review it & didn't like it?
I think it's really good for torrenting.
If you ever change your mind you should checkout the wishlist on http://tracker2.postman.i2p/?view=Wishlist you might already have something someone is looking for or you can get access to it.

>>1340346
Either use I2Psnark standalone from the I2P+ package (easier to set up) or run I2P in the background (as a daemon if you're on Linux) and use the qBittorrent experimental feature.

https://i2pplus.github.io/

Someone give me a retards guide here
How can I tell if I2PD is actually having issues or just sending false negatives here?
I have not done any port forwarding in router, neither modified my firewall, but I do have UPnP enabled afaik, and I know that works over my router, both tested other applications on my PC and that I2PD works fine on my phone.

>>1346245
>How can I tell if I2PD is actually having issues
Enable logs.

>just sending false negatives here?
Test if you port is open or look for I2PD in your routers UPNP list.

>>1346388
Think I just racked my brain around I2PD and UPnP. UPnP works fine, it opens the ports that I2PD normally use.
If the NTCP2 and SSU2 addresses are the ports needed to be open, they keep changing. I have no clue how to return them to the default port.

>>1346783
Is the config line you need to change not four posts above yours?

>>1346786
Yep. But that was sheer tiredness and frustration speaking.
Turns out it was a false negative AFAIK, testing some .i2p links and it looks fine.

>>1346815
Nice! Enjoy the eepsites. Check out notbob for other sites. You can also increase the bandwidth in the config file.

>>1346827
Thanks for the tips, sure is an interesting place to search.
Dont quite know what was going on with the firewall warning, assuming its just an ISP issue.
btw is it a bad idea to put my system on standby/sleep mode while running I2PD? I'd imagine it's as tough as an ungraceful quit.

>>1346846
>I'd imagine it's as tough as an ungraceful quit.
Probably. I'm assuming you are using windows. I can't see any code that handles power events. Might be wrong, not an expert.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/power/wm-powerbroadcast

Since you are already connected you could probably just ask the devs.
The tutorial is in the I2PD wiki 'Anonymous IRC chats' & the channel can be found in the about section 'Community' page.

What's the point?

>>1346867
>windows
Linux handles things differently?

The I2P community should create a torrents day movement to try and rally people to seed.
Not simply a blog post, but an active movement to really inform everyone involved in I2P.
I know other trackers have done so, but I have know knowledge about how successful those efforts have been (with consideration to how much effort they put to advertising the day)

>>1349867
Yeah, I don't think it has power events. Maybe D-bus. Don't really know all that much about programming.

>>1334558
I greatly prefer to run all my torrent traffic over tor. Used to run a tor relay node so I just tunneled all my tor traffic through it mixed in with everyone else's traffic that I was relaying. Never had issues of any type.

>>1334558
>>1334373
>>1356390
You should not be running bittorent over TOR.
https://support.torproject.org/misc/misc-4
https://blog.torproject.org/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea
I2P has a different way of routing. Closed network with some public outproxies. Everyone is a relay.
I2P just does not have as much funding[government,Alphabet boys]/mid share as TOR.
Why not use tribler or I2P to torrent instead?

>>1356458
>Tor is doing its job: Tor is _anonymously_ sending your IP address to the tracker or peer. Nobody knows where you're sending your IP address from. But that probably isn't what you wanted your Bittorrent client to send.
Or use a client that handles socks proxies correctly instead of taking this stupid shortcut.
There really is no reason to use a anonymity client that leaks your IP to the world, even anonymously.

>>1356458
Maybe they should make I2P less of a clusterfuck to set up, even back in the day Tor was easy to set up, I don't care enough to guess how to set up everything, just give me a setup file and some documentation instead of pretending it's some super secret club for wizards or some shit

>>1357456
There is documentation. Which part of the install process did you have trouble with?

>>1357479
I couldn't connect to any websites when I ran the I2P browser and no docs anywhere to be seen, not even an address bar to be seen, awful

>>1357497
Might take a little bit of time to create tunnels at startup.
Or address book may need updating. https://geti2p.net/en/faq#subscriptions
Site might just be down. https://geti2p.net/en/faq#down
You can check out http://notbob.i2p for sites & their status. http://reg.i2p for human readable domains & their last seen time/date.
Might have just been unlucky & tried to setup in the middle of a DDOS
https://geti2p.net/en/blog/post/2023/02/09/about_the_recent_denial_of_service_attacks

For the browser problem that might just be a browser bug, it should work with any browser that enables you to input proxy settings.

Have you tried it recently?

>>1324491
Look into the BiglyBT client. It comes with I2P and TOR support built in but you have to enable it (just check a box). If you can use a normal bit torrent client you should be able to wrap your head around this one. My favorite piece of software to be honest.

>>1360115
Doesn't that have the problem of seeding over Tor?

>>1360418
The plugin it ships with is the "tor helper" plugin,
>This plugin provides limited access to the Tor network to improve connectability. It does *NOT* support the BitTorrent protocol over Tor.
It's for people who live in regions where BitTorrent is banned so things like bootstrapping the DHT, scraping trackers, getting client updates, HTTP seeds, etc. are blocked. You can fetch all that data through TOR if you can't using the clearnet, or at least if you don't want to be tracked doing so.

For BitTorrent traffic you can and should use I2P instead, while it's possible to use anything over TOR it's not designed to handle this well compared to I2P.
BiglyBT lets you use any combination of these, at both a global or per torrent level.
So you can be seeding a torrent, via clearnet or/and i2P and/or doing metadata traffic over TOR.

>>1356458
I haven't used Tribler, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Tribler provide users with tokens, and these tokens are exchanged for network bandwidth, to prevent someone from leeching too much?
If so, that's an awful Idea, because it creates a group of users who download something and are left unable to use the network anymore.
New downloaders are constantly needed for their new tokens to pay seeders. And, of course, there's a finite number of new Tribler users.
Doesn't this problem, or something similar, also extend to private trackers which impose a certain ratio, where people can get "softlocked" by these rules?

Even though these systems have good intentions, they harm the network in the long run.
Maybe some time-based system would be good, where, depending on your upload ratio, you would be given a lower priority / temporarily blocked for a limited, short period of time/ It would expire and then you could download things again, regardless of your ratio, until some period of time again were you would be temporarily blocked from leeching until your seed ratio improves.

>>1324387
dude just stop

>>1333404
i2p has a torrent client included
no idea how u use it cos i never did

>>1333404
>i2p
>docker
niga what? just get java 8 openjdk

>>1334373
tor is us gov funded and us gov supported
it's easy to use because the us gov need random noise
i2p is the people's thing and much like bit torrent itself in that it's always seeding (more or less)

>>1340346
use the java version instead

>>1340726
the config was easy to understand and there were like 1 or 2 ports from what i remember . . . u must be retarded

>>1342977
no freenet is terrible
i2p is good shit but useless when it's easier and faster to use a vpn
if vpns ban torrenting then i2p would be your only option aside from private trackers i suppose

Please help. Been stuck at 72% for a month now.
