Anyone else not getting any i2p-crave network connections?
Did you do this?
Setting up your client to use I2P
Your traffic will be open for anyone to inspect if you run the Crave client over clearnet. If you would like to hide the fact that you are using Crave, as well as the physical location from where your Crave traffic originates, you should set up your wallet to connect only to the I2P darknet.
To do this, download and install the I2P router(see below). After starting the router, you will need to enable the SAM application bridge. In the I2P web interface (http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients), click on the box to automatically run the application bridge at startup, and then click on "start". By default, the SAM application bridge listens to 127.0.0.1 on port 7656. If you need to change this behavior, this can be done in one of three ways:
- From the preferences menu in the Crave graphical interface, click on I2P, and then modify the IP number and port for the SAM application bridge. For the changes to take effect, restart the application.
- Edit the variable clientApp.1.args in the file clients.config that is located in your local I2P folder and then restart I2P.
- From the command line, start the Crave daemon (usually named craved) by specifying the following options: -samhost=<ip or host name> and -samport=<port>. For more options, use the command Craved --help.
Once this is done, start the Crave client, open the application preferences, click on the I2P menu, and then click on the button "use I2P only". Close the application and relaunch it. At this point, all your traffic will be encrypted and pass through the I2P network.
Please note that it will take several minutes to make connections to the I2P network when starting I2P for the first time.
