Bootstrapping without Reseed Servers
|
||||||
|
==============================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In some cases i2p's default reseed servers (servers used to fill i2p router's netdb with initial peers) are blocked.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I2PD has a unique feature that allows it to bootstrap off of any i2p router that is participating in the DHT, they are called floodfill routers and have the router capacity `f` in their router info.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How To
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* obtain a `router.info` file of a floodfill router out of band, save to `/tmp/floodfill.router.info` or some other path
|
||||||
|
* run `i2pd --reseed.floodfill=/tmp/floodfill.router.info` and if that router is online you'll be able to bootstrap into the network from just that routers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Caviets
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The floodfill *must* be trustworthy, it could give you all colluding peers if it's a baddie.
|
||||||
|
* *DO NOT* use a random floodfill unless you don't care about high security and just want to test out this feature.
|
||||||
|
* Java I2P routers seem to dislike this feature (sometimes) and may back off exponentially
