The network is still small! You can contribute with a fast, high-capacity node! (i.imgur.com)

I was wondering why my speed was only about 250KB/s and I think this is why: there simply aren't many high speed nodes in the network!

If you have a VPS sitting around, just spinning, do consider contributing.

With a simple docker-compose

version: "3.5"
services:
    i2p:
        image: geti2p/i2p
        container_name: i2p
        restart: always
        volumes:
            - ./i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
        network_mode: host

you can have i2p running in no time. Or follow the official installation instructions

Simply SSH with a local port forwarding to the router console ssh -L 7657:127.0.1.1:7657 $yourHost and open http://localhost:7657/

You can then configure your instance to share bandwidth.

What is considered a "fast" or "high capacity" peer?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The code doesn't seem to define a fixed number. The number is relative to who you're connected with. Looking at the speeds of my peers, anything above 100KB/s is "fast". If all nodes in the tunnel are 1Gb/s, then the tunnel is 1Gb/s. Therefore, the more high speed nodes, the better the speeds.

I guess the speed can only ever be as fast as the slowest node in the tunnel.

How much bandwith it uses per month? Ist ir secure to run it in Germany?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my case is around 7,5TB per month

You must have quite the line!

300Mbps residential fiber up&down. I2p is using more or less 5% of the line constantly. My setup is very low specs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It depends on how much you give decide to give it. You can say "my line has 10Mb up and 20Mb down, I want to share 50%". It's up to you. The more the better.

And it's secure to run in Germany. There are many nodes there. It's not like TOR. All the traffic stays within I2P, so nobody will be knocking on your door because someone downloaded something over your IP like with TOR.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The problem with TOR is only if you run an exit relay, not with guard/middle relay, Snowflake or bridges. It is in their FAQs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Indeed, you are correct.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I really live the Idea of i2p. The simple reason is that we can created our world without Google etc.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Up and running.
