This is an instruction how to configure Tor Browser to be able to access eepsites (.i2p) in addition to normal clearnet sites (through Tor) and .onion sites.
Step 1: Install Tor Browser and i2pd, start i2pd.
You may need to wait a bit as I2P needs time to find peers. It also needs to be running in background if you want to access .i2p websites.
Step 2: Start Tor Browser and go to about:config
, then make the following changes:
network.proxy.no_proxies_on = *.i2p
extensions.torbutton.use_nontor_proxy = true
dom.security.https_only_mode = false
Step 3: Install and configure FoxyProxy extension.
Install Foxyproxy extension in Tor Browser.
Click on the extension button next to the URL bar, then on the Foxyproxy icon and select: "Proxy by Patterns"
Then click on the Option button in the bottom left which opens a new tab with the proxy settings.
Navigate to the Proxies tab. and enter:
- Title: I2P
- Hostname: 127.0.0.1
- Type: HTTP
- Port: 4444
Click on the "+" at the bottom next to "Proxy by Patterns" and in the box for "pattern" enter the pattern *.i2p/*
, then click save. Leave the dropdowns as "include" and "Wildcard" (should be the default).
Finally, click "Save" at the bottom.
Test if everything works:
Try to navigate to these websites (all three are Privacyguides.org):
Note that I2P URLs always need to start with "http" not "https".
