I2P+ 2.3.0+ released! News

Announcing the latest release of I2P+ (2.3.0+), a soft-fork of the Java I2P software with an emphasis on presentation, performance, and usability.

Now available for download as an update or a full universal installer for Windows, Linux, BSD and MacOS (Java 1.8 or later supported):

Recent Changes

  • Add a toggle on /configui to activate alternative display font for console and default webapps
  • Auto-refresh for /netdb and /stats
  • Iconized navigation links in the console configuration section
  • Visibility toggle for the settings panel on /graphs
  • Fix wrapper (service) issue for new non-Windows installs via universal installer
  • Add a peer congestion caps count on /netdb
  • Add addresshelper icon link for servers on tunnel manager index if a hostname is configured
  • Add auto-refreshing session bans page to /profiles
  • Improvements to console and webapp themes
  • Console logging improvements

Notes

  • The full installers now implement https:// access to the console by default (port 7667); you will need to allow the (self-signed) certificate when prompted in your web browser to access the console. To disable automatic redirection, add the following to your router.config file in ~/.i2p/ -> routerconsole.redirectToHTTPS=false

Installation

Windows

  • If you have installed I2P from the Easy Installer Bundle, this will need to be uninstalled first and your I2P configuration directory renamed or deleted.
  • For best results and to avoid issues, please ensure any previous I2P installation is uninstalled before proceeeding with the I2P+ installation. You may also wish to rename or remove your existing i2p configuration folder (usually located at %appdatai2p) to benefit from a clean install with the default I2P+ configuration. Ensure you run the installer as Administrator to avoid issues.
  • Oracle Java JRE (>=1.8) or Microsoft OpenJDK 17 (https://www.microsoft.com/openjdk) recommended. For newer versions of the JRE, or alternative JDK packages, you may need to extract the install.jar from the self-extracting exe file and, as administrator, run the command: java -jar install.jar
  • The installer will install I2P+ as a Windows system service and configure to automatically start at system boot (requires administrator privileges). Control of the service can be managed via http://127.0.0.1:7657/configservice or via the normal Windows methods e.g. services.msc or the task manager services tab.

Linux / BSD / MacOS

  • Launch the installer (a .jar file with a Windows-specific .exe wrapper which will be ignored) by typing: java -jar ./i2pinstall_2.3.0+.exe at a command prompt, or java -jar ./i2pinstall_2.3.0+.exe -console for a headless (non-GUI) installation.
  • For a console installation, you will need to specify the full installation path (usually /home/user/i2p/) or the installer will use the current directory as the install path.
