Been all day trying to get i2p setup on a whonix workstation. Have reinstalled several times and tried reinstall about 5 times. If I can fix this, I’ll re-write the confusing guide.
Trying to use this guide: whonix/wiki/I2P#I2P_client_inside_Whonix-Workstation
I used the repos:
deb deb.i2p2.no/ stable main
deb-src deb.i2p2.no/ stable main
I made fresh worksation, sys-whonix and gateway.
Not sure if I needed to but I also followed: whonix/wiki/Tunnels/Connecting_to_Tor_before_a_proxy
And then edited sudoedit /etc/uwt.d/50_user.conf adding: uwtwrapper_global=“0”
And also did sudoedit /etc/torbrowser.d/50_user.conf adding: TB_NO_TOR_CON_CHECK=1
CURL_PROXY="–fail"
Also did sudoedit /etc/privoxy/config: forward .i2p 127.0.0.1:4444
And proceeded to use all Tor Browser setttings recommended in the guy.
However one of my questions is where it says uwt, am I supposed to buy a proxy and put those settings here?
Is this what’s causing “cant find site” errors?
Other then that I went through the wizard mentioned here: 127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/wizard
Tried both http and socks. neither works.
The router config page does pull up. Shows 100s of peers and that I’m connected. I can visit regular sites. But nothing that is *.i2p.
Does HTTPS have anything to do with messing up connection to localhost? Because I tried but can’t fund a way to turn it off or remove https everywhere from firefox.
Probably should merge the threads. I’m too using qubes. Seems to be same problem.
Seems there is no way to permanently remove https-everywhere anymore in tor browser seems to be hardcoded now. But I made sure it was disabled using troubleshoot mode. Hopefully disabled but who knows.
However I tried your curl commands and get “could not resolve host” in terminal from various i2p links with only http. So definitely know it’s not an https redirect problem.
I also used all of xVx’s about:config settings, no luck.
Should I switch from the source distro to flatpak?
Other than that, I got freenet in another vm working using the vpn through tor method.
Should I switch to that method instead of this proxyifier method?
There is something I’m confused about. In this part of this guide: dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/Tunnels/Connecting_to_Tor_before_a_proxy#uwt
It mentions "uwt uses torsocks. While the name torsocks implies it is Tor specific, it is not. You can point it to any socks proxy. " I didn’t do anything here. I though technically setting up proxyfier and adding forward .i2p 127.0.0.1:4444 to sudoedit /etc/privoxy/config
is somehow the proxy?
Should I be buying an actual proxy or could I just use my vpn like I did with freenet?
That’s the only thing I think I missed is that I should’ve setup an actual external third-party proxy at the end. Which hopefully VPN through tor would work too.
Wait I’m totally confused now. And missed this part of your message. Sorry my screen is very tiny. So if I understand correctly I shouldn’t be using Proxyfier turning off uwt wrapper?
And now I just read that Proxyfier and Privoxy are different? I think that’s where I messed up. I thought these were the same.
I’ll go back and do it again without the proxyfier and uwt stuff. Will report back.
