inPort is to set the port number that the service binds to.

I set keys to make sure it really save to that file, despite being the default.

I name the service as “myOnion”, so the key pair will be stored in “/var/lib/i2pd/ myEep-keys.dat”.

In that case, the true IPv6 address needs to be specified. Usually i2pd can figure it out by itself, but in an IPv6 environment, an interface could have multiple IPv6 addresses due to IPv6 privacy extensions.

address is the IP address of that Internet-connected interface.

ifname is the interface name that has Internet connection.

etc/nixos/configuration.nix # I2P Eepsite Configuration is set using command line flags or a config file for NixOS, it is through configuration.nix.

i2pd does offer a web portal, but it’s only for displaying some running info. You could ssh port forward the web portal to your local workstation, but since I haven’t (and not planning to) set up ssh on the server, I’m reluctant to do it, not to mention the risk of opening another port.

While using a web portal is more user-friendly, it’s a bit tricky to configure from a server which is limited to CLI only. Most users probably opt for the official Java client which configures everything through a web portal. To join the I2P network, I’m using i2pd, an (unofficial) C++ client of I2P. However, I2P user is discouraged from using a outproxy as that would compromise the user’s anonymity.įor this website, I2P network only applies to the traffic between visitor and my (Caddy) web server, as shown in the following diagram a request still needs to get passed to the upstream, but Netlify only sees the request comes from my web server as if it’s just a regular visitor and shouldn’t know that its origin from the I2P network. You could browse the clearnet from I2P network by using a outproxy, which works similarly to exit relay of Tor. onion and clearnet, which is routed through exit relays. For a server, the setup is similar as both involve creating public/private key pair.Ī thing to note about I2P is that, while inside its network, you can only browse *.i2p websites, not normal websites or what is so-called the clearnet. From a client’s (as in client-server) perspective, the browsing experience is still as slow since the traffic has to jump through a few hops, just like in Tor. In practice though, I don’t see much difference.

I2P is touted as superior to Tor with its garlic routing which is claimed to be an improvement to onion routing. The reason I set up an Eepsite is similar to why I have a Tor hidden service, is to let people visit my website () anonymously. This post is Part 5 of a series of articles that show you how I set up Caddy, Tor hidden service and I2P Eepsite on NixOS: This website can be accessed using this B32 address or mdleom.i2p In this segment, I show you how I set up I2P Eepsite service that reverse proxy to.
