itoopie - the simple I2P UI

News

This site launched today (21/7 -11). I'll be needing help with a few things. That's where you the early testers come in.

Windows testing: Does the installer produce working shortcuts? Is the layout of the itoopie window ok (XP? Vista? 7?).

General testing: Make it break! (I'll regret that one), report wanted features (keep in mind that this a simple application by choice) and test weird/exotic platforms (Non-Gnome Linux/OsX/*BSD).

Any feedback is welcome on the I2P forums I'm also reachable on the I2P irc.

About

itoopie is a simple graphical user interface for I2P.

itoopie connects to any I2P node running the I2PControl plugin. The I2PControl plugin allows itoopie to connect to a I2P node even if it is running on another machine and even if that machine is somewhere else on the internet.

itoopie allows the user to set download and upload speed of I2P nodes. Other features include setting network ports and choosing how much bandwidth to share with others. itoopie also support graphing bandwidth usage of I2P as well as graphing how many tunnels in the I2P network we are participating in now.

itoopie and I2PControl were sponsored by Relakks & Ipredator.
Development began during the summer of 2011 and the first alpha was launched in Juli.

I'd like to thank Jan-Erik Fiske and Peter Sunde for actively helping privacy and anonymity online.

The installer can be run by opening itoopieinstall.exe or running java -jar itoopieinstall.exe (yes, really).

After I2P has been started again settings will be restored to their defaults.
