Hello everyone, i am known as Play_it in the clear as well as in the I2P net. A few months ago I started to run a smaller I2P outproxy service, which goes over a VPN into the clearnet. I am still developing it and sometimes the outproxy can go offline, but i try my best. What questions do you guys have about an outproxy and the technical stuff in the background?
Hello all and @stormycloudorg, The last days i noticed that the outproxy is offline. Because i use it, i noticed early. Maybe something broke or is restructured? Hope to find an answer.
Update: I just found a 1 month old post, and can confirm, that the outproxy does not work well. It always times out, only wrong domains are flagged and shows that the squid proxy is still there.

Looks like DNS
