As a site note you might want to search for C.Grothoff and gnunet and i2p.
All as far i know. Take care.
1) What is i2p:
- Code: Select all
Description: Load-balanced unspoofable packet switching network
I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive
applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several
layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no
trusted parties.
.
This package depends on the router, jbigi, the java service wrapper, and
includes support to run I2P as a daemon.
2) What does it offer:
- invisible internet and public Web browsing
- anonymous email
- anonymous chat
- anonymous filetransfer
- forums/blogging
- server to host your own i2p/eep site
out of box, and much more via installable plugins
3) how to install it:
a) method a: repackage, look at the instructions by dbbolton
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1268#p12360
b) method b:
sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/i2p.list
- Code: Select all
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/i2p-maintainers/i2p/ubuntu natty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/i2p-maintainers/i2p/ubuntu natty main
key
- Code: Select all
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EB2CC88B
install
( some form of java needs to be there, "apt-get install default-jre", but i think it comes as a dependency automatically)
- Code: Select all
apt-get install i2p
start
- Code: Select all
i2prouter start
it opens in a web-browser, as http://127.0.0.1:7657/
wait a bit (loot at the left panel, Peers, and wait till a few are listed).
After short, much less than five minutes, i got more than 10 active peers.
configure web-browser
iceweasel->preferences->advanced->network->proxy
http: 127.0.0.1 port:4444
https:127.0.0.1 port:4445
Now use duckduckgo and try to find "my ip"
If in doubt compare it with:
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
printf "\n ---------------- Network Addresses ---------------- \n\n"
/sbin/ifconfig | grep -A1 encap | awk 'END{print __}{_=__}{__=$0;$1=_}_' | awk ' /encap/ { print $1 " " $6 "\t\t" $5 }' | grep -v lo | grep -v "\-\-"
printf "\n"
/usr/bin/lynx -dump http://checkip.dyndns.org
printf "\n --------------------------------------------------- \n\n"
exit 0
(you won't be able to "my ip"-sites, but duckduck will give you the info at the top).
configure i2p
127.0.0.1:7657 -> left panel -> I2P Services
and have at it.
You might want to set up bandwith in "Network"
Just click your way through the gui.
