With the new french Hadopi law… I just tested the I2P nework, which works fairly well.
Installation is very easy. Just download the .exe file. Then launch it with the java -jar command, like explained on the official site (and it works on Linux, yes !).
Now, if you want to access .i2p sites, like http://forum.i2p, you must configure your browser to use the I2P proxy: localhost:4444
If you don’t want to use the proxy when connecting to standard non-i2p sites, you can use the FoxyProxy Firefox extension.
You can also use a PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) file:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".i2p")) {
return "PROXY localhost:4444";
} else {
return "DIRECT";
}
}
Then configure Firefox, or proxy configuration in Gnome to use the file:///path/to/proxy.pac file as configuration.
Warning: a bad eepsite (.i2p site), can detect your real IP address with that.
