hosting an outproxy for i2p (part 1)

This quick blog was requested by someone on IRC and it details how to set up an outproxy on i2p.

If this is too quick a guide or you feel like you don't know what you're doing then I'd suggest against running an outproxy.

Software used:

• debian stable
• i2pd
• tinyproxy

The setup process goes as follows:

• install i2pd and tinyproxy
• edit tinyproxy.conf to have sane defaults
• have tinyproxy deny access to loopback
• create an i2p server tunnel pointing to 127.0.0.1:8888
• publish destination of outproxy

/etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf
