Be Patient!
I2P may be slow to start the first time, as it searches for peers.
If, after 30 minutes, your Active: connected/recent count still has less than 10 connected
peers, there are several things you can do to check for problems:
- Port Forwarding
Open I2P's port on your modem, router and/or firewall(s) for better connectivity (ideally both UDP and TCP). More information on how to go about port forwarding can be found at portforward.com, in addition to our forums and IRC channels listed below.
- Verify Java is Up to Date and Functioning
Ensure your java is up to date [version 1.6 recommended and required for some features].
- Enable Universal Plug and Play Your modem may support Universal Plug & Play (UPnP), which permits automatic port forwarding. Try enabling UPnP and restarting the I2P router.
- Check Your Logs!
Logs may help resolve a problem. You may wish to paste excerpts in a forum for help, or perhaps paste it instead and reference the link on IRC for help.

Check Your Proxy Setttings
If
you cannot see any eepsites at all (not even www.i2p2.i2p),
make sure your browser's proxy is set to access http traffic (not https, not socks) via 127.0.0.1 port 4444
. If you need some help, there's a guide to configuring your browser for I2P use, also available on the normal web.
