![]() Normally the SOCKS proxy is used internally and selects a random available port to listen on. If you try to browse to this using your normal internet browser it won't work - you need to tell your browser to use the I2P network to find the website, not the public internet.īiglyBT has a SOCKS proxy that you can configure your browser to use for this purpose. For example, there is a statistics website at. This can be used, for example, to only download data from non-I2P peers while uploading and downloading to I2P ones.Īn 'eepsite' is a website that is only available through I2P and has a URL ending in '.i2p'. Peer Sets support a rate limit of 'Disabled' which when set prevents all transfer of data in the specified direction (up or down). Once set up these Peer Sets will appear in the side bar and you can right-click on them to set rate limits as required. For example, the following schedule will define two Peer Sets, one for I2P peers and one for the rest: If you want to control torrent downloading/uploading limits then you can use the Speed Limit Scheduler to define 'Peer Sets' specific to I2P Peers (and non-I2P peers), and then rate limit them as required. The bandwidth controls configurable via the plugin configuration page affect the overall I2P bandwidth usage, not that for uploading and downloading torrents (I2P has network overheads as discussed above and also to participate in the I2P network you must donate some of your bandwidth to other peer's tunnels.) There is also the option to link the I2P limits to the overall BiglyBT limits. The default bandwidth available for I2P to use is limited - you will probably want to consider updating the limits in the plugin configuration options. There are also overheads associated with running the I2P network itself so you will see some of your bandwidth being used for this. Also connection establishment is more complex and obviously connection latencies are much higher than direct connections over the internet. If you have, say, 2 intermediate peers between the start and end of the overall connection, every byte sent will require the network to transport three bytes overall (initial peer->first intermediate first intermediate->second intermediate second intermediate->final peer). Allowing FireFox to access the internetĭownloading over I2P will be slower than over the public internet for fairly obvious reasons - connections are routed through various peers to provide anonymity/privacy - these other peers forward the network traffic to other peers.
