<p>Your web browser will need to be configured in order to browse eepsites and to
utilize the outproxies available within I2P. Below are walkthroughs for some of
the most popular browsers.

<p>
Now set the checkmark at "use a proxy server for your LAN" and at the "Bypass
proxy server for local addresses". With a click on Advanced-button you open the
window to open the ports. Enter the values like on the picture, IP 127.0.0.1
and port 4444 for HTTP, port 4445 for HTTPS. With clicks on OK you save the
settings and your browser is set to use the I2P proxy.</p>

<h3>Outproxy Terms Of Service</h3>
<p>
Remember: I2P was not designed for creating proxies to the outer Internet.
Instead, it is meant to be used as an internal network.
</p>
<p>
<b>The I2P project itself does not run any proxies to the Internet. Any such proxy
services are run by by private volunteers and could be shut down or
unreachable at anytime.</b></p>
<p>
By default, I2P comes with two outproxies configured: <code>false.i2p</code>
(an HTTP-only proxy) and <code>outproxyng.h2ik.i2p</code> (an HTTPS proxy
routed through Tor.</p>
<p>Both of these outproxies are configured with connection limits. This means
that only set amount of accesses are allowed per client. Once the limit is
reached, the client is blocked out for a timeframe of 1min/1h/1 day. Be
respectful and do not overload these services with too many requests!</p>
<p>Filtering is active on these outproxies (for example, mibbit and torrent
tracker access is blocked). Note that even though the pirate bay is blocked
they host an official eepsite at <a href="http://tbp.i2p">tpb.i2p</a>. Eepsites
that are accessible via .i2p addresses are also not allowed via the outproxies.
As a convenience, <code>False.i2p</code> blocks ad servers.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.torproject.org">Tor</a> is good application to use as an
outproxy to the Internet.</p>
