enzymicalEvaluating whether I should use outproxies or just use tor for accessing clearnet. Outproxies sort of glow because there are only like 2 or 3 outproxies in the whole I2P netowork, whereas in Tor they're everywhere and can be rotated quickly even if you're being eavesdropped. On the other hand Tor exit nodes are universally hated by companies like Cloudflare so a lot of websites are inaccessible. Outproxies are a bit less annoying on this aspect because I2P is relatively obscure and there hasn't been much abuse coming from it, but this might not be the case soon after. :niggathonk:
@mint i also pirate shit with my bare IP and I'm kinda worried about that but I don't live in the US so maybe it doesn't really matter, I've never got a DMCA complaint.
@mint You mean StormyCloud? I thought they had their own datacenters, but oh wait, they host Tor exit nodes on those things as well...:niggakms: guess ill just use privoxy+tor+i2p and hook my browser up to it. Tor traffic raises eyebrows from my ISP probably but I don't think using bridges are worth it(maybe I'm wrong). (aint no way im paying for a vpn in the first place)
@e No, there was some other independent outproxy that operated when false.i2p was unstable. I think Incognet also had their own outproxy together with exit nodes.
@e >On the other hand Tor exit nodes are universally hated by companies like Cloudflare so a lot of websites are inaccessible AND NOTHING OF VALUE WAS LOST
@e@mint they're literally just a normal .loki address but they let you send ip traffic destined for another network like the internet. literally just a flag on the traffic and a config option that is off by default that the exit oper turns on.
@jeff@mint disregarding the fact that exit.loki is on a completely different network, how do exit nodes in lokinet work? is exit.loki multihomed by Oxen or something?
