                        then before you restart, add the following to your router.config -> router.blockOldRouters=false

                        you'll still block some old routers, notably those that have been identified as hostile, but not so many.

                        some are, sure. those will still be blocked.

                        hostile routers do damage to the network, so you can't be totally hands off.

                        you've got as many knobs as you're going to get.

                        and they should be more than sufficient. :)

                        don't forget i2np.ntcp.maxConnections and i2np.udp.maxConnections mesh.

                        try setting both of those to something like 8000 or more.

                        no restart required.

                        you can also experiment with setting ntcp low and udp high to see how that adjusts things. ntcp appears to be preferred.

                        also make sure ulimit -n in the account you're running i2p from isn't returning 1024. not fatal, but you want that much higher.

                        if you don't know how to adjust that, google for /etc/security/limits.conf and ulimit

                        we fixup ulimit in i2prouter, what matters is the hard limit (-n -H) not the soft limit
                    
                
                
                    
                        dr|z3d
                    
                    
                        yeah, you really want to be editing limits.conf and setting both hard and soft limits to something high, 65535 or more.

                        no, you don't have to as long as the hard limit is >= 2048, we'll raise the soft limit to 2048 in i2prouter

                        maybe I need to reread the docs, but 2048 seems like a very conservative limit to me, especially when you're running other things on the box, like nginx.

                        yeah, per-process, and nginx can use a ton more than that when it's handling a lot of traffic, iirc service_workers is limited by file descriptors for concurrent connections.

                        there's a rebalance algorithm to attempt to push some connections over to ssu, but presumably that only kicks in when ntcp connection limits are hit?

                        I have a list of urls, ping me if you want them. + is currently at -3+

                        as you probably read, 50+ dests snagged in the course of 3 days on one router.

                        Ahh, yeah.  I did read about the scanners and whatnot.

                        So long as you arn't blocking my scanner, it's all good.

                        if your scanner happens to be cycling through a list of potentially vulnerable urls, then yes. otherwise, no.

                        is it at all possible that my issues are due to my external IP changing? or is that just a red herring?

                        very rarely. it changed like a week ago and thats when i saw the problems start

                        shouldn't be an issue.

                        Are the blocklist urls dynamic?

                        Rather, do I pull them once, or pull them every 24 hours or something for updates?

                        Ok, now I'm curious.

                        it's a list of prohibited urls or strings you don't want matched in requests.
                    
                
                
                    
                        not_bob
                    
                    
                        Ahh!
                    
                
                
                    
                        not_bob
                    
                    
                        I can understand that.
                    
                
                
                    
                        dr|z3d
                    
                    
                        requests that match any in your blocklist will get logged to a separate file you can then use the tunnel filter to block.

                        ie the dest (b32) making the request will get logged.

                        snex: you could just try letting your ip be automatically detected.

                        see if that helps.

                        i had it that way originally but things stopped working entirely when my IP changed. the autodetect simply didnt work (this might have been i2p not i2p+) which is why i set it to the hostname based resolution

                        ok, maybe turn on warn level logging and see if anything obvious appears.

                        lots of WARN errors but not sure how relevant they are

                        yeah, warn is constant. most won't be related to your issue.

                        Can I set allow only certain requests and block all else?

                        you'll have to be a bit more specific, cumlord

                        Like if I only want someone to be able to access /index and block everything else on a site

                        Why would you put stuff on the site you don't want people to access?

                        oh, you mean with the http blocklist?

                        change the permissions on the other pages/folders?

                        seems like something you do on the http server
                    
                
                
                    
                        dr|z3d
                    
                    
                        yeah, plenty of ways to achieve that, mostly server-side.
                    
                
                
                    
                        dr|z3d
                    
                    
                        but if you wanted to actually block requests to the resource in + before webserver gets to see the request, you'd give it a list of urls you want to block.
                    
                
                
                    
                        dr|z3d
                    
                    
                        that's a roundabout way of saying, no, there is no whitelist feature yet. just a blacklist.

                        Yeah with http blocklist is what I meant

                        Depending on your server, you can use url rewrite.
