Over the past year I have had the good fortune to participate in the research
|
|
Nguyen Phong Hoang from Stony Brook University has been doing regarding I2P
|
|
censorship. The infrastructure used for this research provided numerous and
|
|
geographically diverse vantage points, and also the ability to conduct in-depth
|
|
measurements across all levels of the network stack. I2P services which were
|
|
measured for availability included official homepage, mirror site, reseed
|
|
servers and active relays.

The presentation on Tuesday went very well, and Phong was very busy afterwards
|
|
answering questions about his work. I was busy too answering questions about
|
|
I2P and what it does. The new stickers featuring the updated logo by Ura Design
|
|
got rave reviews! It was a very positive experience and I will be looking
|
|
forward to continuing to work with Phong and monitoring I2P censorship. I would
|
|
encourage anyone who has encountered blocking, or has had success using I2P to
|
|
communicate in restricted environments to reach out if you can. I2P is
|
|
currently working on new solutions to circumvent internet blocking. Having met
|
|
people this year who have given me first hand accounts of the effects of
|
|
censorship and the need to stay connected, makes the need for I2P to be more
|
|
resilient where it needs to be and for the team to be creating guides for using
|
|
I2P in these situations.

I will be putting together better resources for researchers interested in I2P,
|
|
as well.

I also had the good fortune to spend time with Mhatta, who is an I2P
|
|
contributor, and to make connections for future funding. A huge thank you to
|
|
the community builders I met in Tunis who I met again and who are offering so
|
|
much support to the project. This has been an exciting year so far, and I2P has
|
|
so much work to do. Please consider donating your time or funding the project
|
|
as it needs to scale quickly to new challenges.
