Installation and Fix of i2p inside Whonix-Workstation by Default

[Patrick]

@HulaHoop

Are we not going to ship I2P by default?

I wasn’t aware that this has been suggested earlier. Can be considered.

Please check:

Whonix Default Application Policy

• If the applications issues network activity, there must be a way to properly configure it for Stream Isolation, to keep Tor’s TransPort clean for the user’s own stuff. (Deprecated [archive])

Can i2p be configured to use a Tor SocksPort or a Tor HttpTunnelPort?

• Must not issue network activity while the application is not in use.

Should i2p be autostarted and autoconnect? (Same behavior as installing i2p package.)

It would be running in every Whonix-Workstation? How much system resources does i2p eat?

How much traffic does i2p generate when not in use? I guess a fair share of Whonix users won’t be using i2p? How much load are we going to add ti the Tor network?

dev-user comms

There is currently no such thing.

@HulaHoop

I was hoping to have it run out of the box and have Tahoe configured to use it too so we can implement a permanent takedown defense at least for dev-user comms.

Ideally this could serve as an extra APT repository source (mirror). I don’t know much about Tahoe. Is traffic free if we upload there and all our users download from there?
