r/i2p

Hi, is there a way to create whitelist only eepsite? For example based on public key list in config similar to tor https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/advanced/client-auth/

I would like to access data from my home sensors over i2p so i can avoid static IP, ddns, portforwarding and so on. For clear reasons I would prefer this info not to be accessible to anyone but me.

I am aware that chances of guassing the whole b32 address are very small. But it just feels like the right way should be using the whitelist or at least password auth.

I suppose using basic auth on the web server is a way. But it feels way less robust that auth directely on the i2p layer. Especially since in the tor implementation, without the correct private key the service appears to not exist at all.

Thank you.

Question, I've tried just about everything I can think of to get i2p torrenting going on android to no avail. Tried XD but it's abandoned at this point it looks like and crashes constantly before I can even get into the main menu. Tried setting up Ubuntu in both termux and the userlamd app. I can get i2p going but nothing but problems trying to access i2psnark. Tried configuring biglybt on android with i2p but I can't seem to get that going either. Has anyone in recent times found a solution to this? Or know of a possible solution? Thanks!

And before anyone asks I know i2p torrenting isn't officially supported on android. Trying to find a workaround

I was getting fed up with the lack of an alternative to Discord that provided actual privacy. Signal exists, but there are elements that also do not prioritize privacy, like the required phone number and the fact that messages still route through servers they operate. I truly just wanted a messaging app that felt like it was truly private & secure and not something that half-assed it.

Anyway, I built this. It runs over I2P, which makes it decentralized: no servers I run, no user directory, nothing anyone could subpoena or shut down. It's also anonymous to peers, meaning the people you talk to see a three-word alias and never your IP or location. No metadata or log collection, because there's literally no infrastructure that could collect anything.

Also, the app prioritizes local security. The vault is encrypted with a key bound to your Mac's Secure Enclave through the Keychain, so a stolen disk or backup decrypts to nothing on a different machine. Hardened Runtime and library validation block debugger attach and dyld injection at the OS level. The bundled I2P daemon is SHA-256 pinned and refuses to launch if it has been tampered with.

I will be building it out for other platforms in the near future, but wanting to get it out there, so people can start using it and breaking things, so I can keep improving it.

It does take about 30-60 seconds for I2P to start up when the app is launched, but after that, communication is pretty fast considering the decentralized component.

To copy your whisper:// user link, just click your alias in the bottom left of the app after logging in. It will copy to clipboard and you can share that with your peer.

All feedback is appreciated and I will keep working to make this the most private and secure messaging option available.
