<%=intl._t("My router has been up for several minutes and has zero or very few connections")%>

<%=intl._t("If after a few minutes of uptime your router is indicating 0 Active Peers and 0 Known Peers, with a notification in the sidebar that you need to check your network connection, verify that you can access the internet.")%> <%=intl._t("If your internet connection is functional, you may need to unblock Java in your firewall.")%> <%=intl._t("Otherwise, you may need to reseed your I2P router. Visit the Reseed Configuration page and click the \"Save Changes and Reseed Now\" button.")%>

<%=intl._t("My router has very few active peers, is this OK?")%>

<%=intl._t("If your router has 10 or more active peers, everything is fine.")%> <%=intl._t("The router should maintain connections to a few peers at all times.")%> <%=intl._t("The best way to stay connected to the network is to share more bandwidth.")%>

<%=intl._t("I am missing lots of hosts in my addressbook. What are some good subscription links?")%>

<%=intl._t("The default subscription is to {0} which is seldom updated.", "i2p-projekt.i2p")%> <%=intl._t("If you don't have another subscription, you may use \"jump\" links which are slower, but ensure that your addressbook only contains the default addresses and sites that you use.")%> <%=intl._t("To speed up browsing on I2P, it's a good idea to add some addressbook subscriptions.")%>

<%=intl._t("Here are some other public addressbook subscription links.")%> <%=intl._t("You may wish to add one or two to your subscription list.")%>

<%=intl._t("Note that subscribing to a hosts.txt service is an act of trust, as a malicious subscription could give you incorrect addresses, so be careful subscribing to lists from unknown sources.")%> <%=intl._t("The operators of these services may have various policies for listing hosts.")%> <%=intl._t("Presence on this list does not imply endorsement.")%>

<%=intl._t("How do I access IRC, BitTorrent, or other services on the regular Internet?")%>

<%=intl._t("Unless an outproxy has been set up for the service you want to connect to, this is not possible.")%> <%=intl._t("There are only three types of outproxies running right now: HTTP, HTTPS, and email.")%> <%=intl._t("Note that there is currently no public SOCKS outproxy.")%>

<%=intl._t("How do I configure my browser to access I2P websites?")%>

<%=intl._t("You will need to configure your browser to use the HTTP proxy server on host 127.0.0.1 port 4444).")%> <%=intl._t("See the {0} for a more detailed explanation.", "" + intl._t("Browser Proxy Configuration Guide") + "")%>

<%=intl._t("What is an eepsite?")%>

<%=intl._t("An eepsite is a website that is hosted anonymously on the I2P network.")%> <%=intl._t("You can access it by configuring your web browser to use I2P's HTTP proxy and browsing to the website.")%>

<%=intl._t("Most of the eepsites are down?")%>

<%=intl._t("If you consider every eepsite that has ever been created, yes, most of them are down.")%> <%=intl._t("People and eepsites come and go.")%> <%=intl._t("A good way to get started in I2P is check out a list of eepsites that are currently up.")%> <%=intl._t("{0} tracks active eepsites.", "identiguy.i2p")%>

<%=intl._t("How do I connect to IRC within I2P?")%>

<%=intl._t("A tunnel to the main IRC server network within I2P, Irc2P, is automatically started when the I2P router starts.")%> <%=intl._t("To connect to it, tell your IRC client to connect to server: 127.0.0.1 port: 6668.")%>

<%=intl._t("HexChat-like client users can create a new network with the server 127.0.0.1/6668, or you can connect with the command /server 127.0.0.1 6668.")%> <%=intl._t("Different IRC clients may require a different command, consult the client documentation.")%>

<%=intl._t("What ports does I2P use?")%>

<%=intl._t("Local ports")%>
<%=intl._t("These are the local I2P port mappings, listening only to local connections by default, except where noted.")%> <%=intl._t("Unless you require access from other machines, they should only be accessible from localhost.")%>

2827 BOB bridge A higher level socket API for clients. Can be enabled/disabled on the Client Configuration page. Can be changed in the bob.config file. [Disabled by default]
4444 HTTP proxy Can be disabled or changed in the I2P Tunnel Manager. Can also be configured to bind to a specific interface or all interfaces.
4445 HTTPS proxy Can be disabled or changed in the I2P Tunnel Manager. Can also be configured to bind to a specific interface or all interfaces.
6668 IRC proxy Can be disabled or changed in the I2P Tunnel Manager. Can also be configured to bind to a specific interface or all interfaces.

7653 UPnP SSDP UDP search response listener Binds to all interfaces. Can be changed with advanced config i2np.upnp.SSDPPort=nnnn. Can be disabled on the Client Configuration page.
7654 I2P Client Protocol port Used by client apps. Can be changed to a different port on the Client Configuration page but this is not recommended. Can be bound to a different interface or all interfaces, or disabled, on the Client Configuration page.
7655 UDP for SAM bridge A higher level socket API for clients. Only opened when a SAM V3 client requests a UDP session. Can be enabled/disabled on the Client Configuration page. Can be changed in the clients.config file with the SAM command line option sam.udp.port=nnnn.

32000 Local control channel for the service wrapper To change, see the wrapper documentation.

<%=intl._t("I2P selects a random port to communicate with other routers when the program is run for the first time.")%> <%=intl._t("The selected port is shown on the Network Configuration page.")%>
Outbound UDP from the random port noted on the Network Configuration page to arbitrary remote UDP ports, allowing replies.
Outbound TCP from random high ports to arbitrary remote TCP ports.
Inbound UDP to the port noted on the Network Configuration page from arbitrary locations (optional, but recommended).
Inbound TCP to the port noted on the Network Configuration page from arbitrary locations (optional, but recommended). Inbound TCP may be disabled on the Network Configuration page.
Outbound UDP on port 123, allowing replies: this is necessary for I2P's internal time sync (via SNTP - querying a random SNTP host in pool.ntp.org or another server you specify).
