#i2p-dev (irc2p) | dev build 2.5.0-3 | Network reliability is degraded, please be patient as we work on mitigations

anonymousmaybe where can i find Reseed configs? (path to it)

dr|z3d in the source code or in router configs?

anonymousmaybe router configs

anonymousmaybe running I2P as a service

anonymousmaybe cant find it in /var

anonymousmaybe all other configs i found like tunnels, console..etc but reseed i didnt found it

dr|z3d wherever your router.config file is, that's where the reseed configs are.

anonymousmaybe default where?

anonymousmaybe here right? /var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/router.config ?

dr|z3d apt install mlocate && locate router.config .. probably there, I don't mess too much with the repo install.

anonymousmaybe ah yeah found it, thanks

dr|z3d you won't see the default reseed hosts there unless you've modified the defaults, then it should display all the hosts, I think.

anonymousmaybe i thought it has its own /reseed.config file

dr|z3d no

anonymousmaybe i see, thank you <3

anonymousmaybe dr|z3d do you know a good search engine eepsites?

anonymousmaybe for eepsites/i2p services*

dr|z3d i2psearch.i2p seems pretty good.

RN anonymousmaybe, have you seen planeta.i2p yet? (no typo - diff from planet.i2p)

anonymousmaybe nope now gonna check it

RN not a search, but a lot there I hadn't seen or forgot

RN someone has done a nice job

anonymousmaybe im improving I2P over Tor inside whonix docs atm

RN oh, please link when ready.

dr|z3d be sure to also have a look at notbob.i2p and/or scanner.linuxfarm.i2p anonymousmaybe .. also useful if you're linking sites.

RN and if you want a lighter interface compared to those two beautifully done sites, good ol' inr.i2p is still quick and informative

dr|z3d inr is largely deprecated in favor of reg.i2p

RN are they run by same entity? I notice reg doesn't show when it was added in the quick results.

dr|z3d both run by R4SAS afaik

RN mkay... well I like both

RN results were quite different

dr|z3d don't forget whonix.i2p anonymousmaybe, are you hosting that site?

anonymousmaybe all added eepsites added to the wiki thank you guys

anonymousmaybe dr|z3d oh there is whonix? damn for sure no

dr|z3d there are a few distro sites on i2p, off the top of my head.. whonix, tails.i2p, qubes.i2p, hardenedbsd.i2p

anonymousmaybe omg wtf these are none official ones

anonymousmaybe what strange is that these eepsites are 100% updated to latest what the official websites doing

anonymousmaybe seems like a mirror of clearnet to I2P more than a bad/hacky clone

dr|z3d maybe they are official?

anonymousmaybe whonix side for sure no

anonymousmaybe qubes also no

anonymousmaybe torproject and tails i dunno but there are no official announcement made from them about it

dr|z3d they look like bona fide mirrors, in any event, so no harm having them on the network.

dr|z3d in fact, it's a good thing I think. more exposure for the projects, more content on i2p. everyone wins.

anonymousmaybe yes but first time i know about it

dr|z3d crawl out from under that rock :)

anonymousmaybe but what is scary if these eepsites gonna just clone the original website and make malicious changes to the images

anonymousmaybe yeah this going to be a mess up

dr|z3d doesn't look like that's the case, afaict the actual images are hosted elsewhere.

dr|z3d ie hosted at the original locations.

anonymousmaybe yeah wonder if these eepsites maintainers would have just contacted us before using and spreading their eepsite

anonymousmaybe so we can be aware of the situation, but yeah lets ee

anonymousmaybe see*

anonymousmaybe maybe a social media announcement that these eepsites are not official or so

dr|z3d identify issues first, best advice.

dr|z3d if there are issues, like isos not hosted on an official server, or donation addresses that are wrong, then's the time to be concerned. otherwise, bask in the free mirroring :)

anonymousmaybe yeah good advise

anonymousmaybe gonna check once i finish wiki improvements

anonymousmaybe <3 appreciated

anonymousmaybe i2p-projekt.i2p/en/faq#question

anonymousmaybe isnt freenode gone and most shifted to librachat?

anonymousmaybe i think if there is a shift on clearnet better to be done to oftc as it support Tor and doesnt complain about having accounts or not in their servers

anonymousmaybe cc eyedeekay zzz eche|on (not sure whos handling IRC side)

RN and postman...

RN so are you proposing relay bots?

RN to clarify, add postman to that list anonymousmaybe, and asking anonymousmaybe if they are proposing bots like we used to have

anonymousmaybe no i dont propse relay bots, i propose to update their website where they have I2P over IRC in clearnet side

anonymousmaybe freenode most if not all projects left it

anonymousmaybe and shifted to either librachat or OFTC

RN ah

RN do we have folks over there? i haven't been on that server in a long time

RN we used to have relaying to from #i2p on there some years ago

anonymousmaybe same for me i dunno if there are people there or not

anonymousmaybe important thing is that I2P project has an outdated reference

anonymousmaybe one should update that

anonymousmaybe @eyedeekay

anonymousmaybe changing network.proxy.http value in TB will corrupt onion services connection from Tor but it will allow eepsites to work

anonymousmaybe if i change it to 127.0.0.1 with port 4444 eepsites going to connect

anonymousmaybe but onion connection going to break

anonymousmaybe do you have an idea how to solve this from with TorBrowser?

anonymousmaybe within*

anonymousmaybe onion connection i mean by it connection to onion hidden services URLs

anonymousmaybe or within I2P if its possible

anonymousmaybe like some I2P configs to change or so

anonymousmaybe i made everything work except stucking in this issue

dr|z3d anonymousmaybe: both purokishi and stormycloud outproxies support .onion addresses.

dr|z3d as an alternative, you could try foxyproxy and send all .i2p requests to I2P, everything else to Tor.

eyedeekay anonymousmaybe dr|zed is right but there's another way I'll post about on the forum later today

RN eche|off, str4d, zzz, one of our translators NarratorZ is requesting voice please.

anonymousmaybe dr|z3d yeah thats mean instead of Tor inside TB its going to be Tor in outproxy of I2P

anonymousmaybe thats sorta bad for connection speed so as security

anonymousmaybe if it was firefox thats good idea but within TB or Whonix not the best option

anonymousmaybe foxyproxy which is an external (non-default) extenstion in TB will make new fingerprint issues also add extra headache to end user

anonymousmaybe what im searching is for something either in TB or I2P

anonymousmaybe last resort is privoxy but i dont have good instructions for it to make it work

anonymousmaybe eyedeekay awesome! will wait for it

RN anonymousmaybe, i2peek-a-boo.i2p/handystuff/privoxy%20forwarding%20section.txt

anonymousmaybe RN this is the latest instructions of I2P within whonix over tor whonix.org/wiki/I2P

RN that's my privoxy config

anonymousmaybe RN "forward-socks4a" isnt it socks5 supposed to be? or privoxy gonna forward anyway and doesnt matter which one?

RN yeah, need to update that

RN that is an older clip

anonymousmaybe great gonna test now

anonymousmaybe E: Failed to fetch deb.i2p2.de/dists/bullseye/InRelease Certificate verification failed: The certificate is NOT trusted. The certificate chain uses expired certificate. Could not handshake: Error in the certificate verification. [IP: 127.0.0.1 9050]

anonymousmaybe E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

anonymousmaybe cc @eyedeekay zzz eche|on

anonymousmaybe if you visit the URL

anonymousmaybe Websites prove their identity via certificates, which are valid for a set time period. The certificate for deb.i2p2.de expired on 10/25/2022.

anonymousmaybe Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE

anonymousmaybe wonder why there is no auto-renewal already been made

anonymousmaybe i believe its already supported by certbot and similar tools

RN updated. I seem to be using socks5t

anonymousmaybe RN i delete all /etc/privoxy/config and replace it with this forwarding and its gonna work?

anonymousmaybe or this is only for forward section and everything else need to be kept as is?

anonymousmaybe in /config i mean

anonymousmaybe not sure, not working with me..

RN only the forwarding section

RN so you adjust the default config to your needs, and have that part in your forwarding section. Remember in privoxy the last match wins.

RN so the first rule sends all to tor, unless a later rule matches and does something else

RN the default config is very well commented for most of the options

RN now that I think of it, I have a fresh virgin config I haven't looked at yet...

anonymousmaybe yeah can you make a page with /config

anonymousmaybe thats easier to copy/paste and test

dr|z3d privoxy used to be the go to intermediate proxy for Tor. used to be. then polipo took over. both are now a bit long in the tooth. tinyproxy's a much better fit these days for handling multiple proxies.

RN Is it? I'll take a look.

dr|z3d there's a substantial amount of largely obsolete code in provoxy for filtering and ad-blocking which only works on http sites.

dr|z3d *privoxy

RN yeah, usually skip most of that. Mostly use my DNS to block adds. Makes it fun when not at home and I forget why so many apps have ads I didn't remember seeing.

RN (I mean on my phone cus home network has ad blocking dns - just to clarify)

dr|z3d configuring multiple upstream proxies in tinyproxy is as simple as setting a couple of lines in the config file. upstream http 127.0.0.1:4444 ".i2p" etc.

RN is it featurefull, or minimalistic?

dr|z3d does what's required. don't expect privoxy-level web UI.

RN gotcha

dr|z3d default config file is well commented, you can learn what you need from that alone.

RN I'd say same for privoxy's config file. (oh, I already did! lol)

RN that is something that makes a really nice config file

dr|z3d privoxy is bloated in comparison, the config file that is.

dr|z3d privoxy also has multiple config files for various aspects of the software.

RN well, back when... it was a very useful tool. today is is still very functional for what I use it for. Have actually been reconsidering other options for a new system I'm gradually setting up.

dr|z3d time marches on :)

RN hey, where can I find detailed specs for what the irc tunnel filters, or tunnel filtering in general?

anonymousmaybe dr|z3d yeah exactly thats i left dealing with privoxy myself just left all together to the level i forgot how to deal with it

dr|z3d anonymousmaybe: tinyproxy has you covered. coming to it fresh you can have it functional within 10 minutes, if that.

anonymousmaybe ah i never crossed on tinyproxy to be used with i2p and tor

anonymousmaybe ok let me try one second

dr|z3d RN: apps/i2ptunnel/java/src/net/i2p/i2ptunnel/irc/IRCFilter.java

RN do I need to pull a local copy of the source to see that?

RN I was looking for something along the lines of the old viewmtn

RN not quite ready to start building my own updater files with javadoc enabled again yet

RN didn't find what I was looking for on git.idk not sure I'm navigating that site well yet...

anonymousmaybe dr|z3d can you walk me through the needed changes in /tinyproxy.conf to make it work with i2p and tor?

R4SAS RN: reg has API for such information. Read homepage.

R4SAS hm, about registration on search results: I can add this

R4SAS but jump shows adding date. example: reg.i2p/jump/reg.i2p

R4SAS dr|z3d: nope, inr hosted by "slow"

RN R4SAS, Thanks for the info and for the service your site provides the rest of us. :) [RTFM indeed! LOL]

dr|z3d R4SAS: my bad

dr|z3d anonymousmaybe: I just did, mostly. add the lines: upstream socks5 127.0.0.1:9050 -and- upstream http 127.0.0.1:4444 ".i2p" below it in the relevant section. then point your browser at the port you have tinyproxy listening on. you probably only want it listening on 127.0.0.1. that's it. but read the config help to check you understand what you're doing.
