Use i2p on Android with Mull/Firefox (self.privacy)

On Android/GrapheneOS, Firefox/Mull/variants is the only browser with the needed proxy settings to use with i2p.

After a bit of searching, it works very well!

As i2p servers you can use "i2p", "i2pd" (more minimal but more efficient) or "InviziblePro" which bundles some implementation of i2p.

I am using i2pd currently, and it works well.

Installed the apps with Obtainium

Mull from the DivestOS F-Droid repo
i2pd from the purplei2p F-Droid repo
MullvadVPN from Github, Orbot from the guardianproject repo (as fallback if clearnet sites are used)

The browser can open .i2p and clearnet sites, using a little hack:

network.proxy.no_proxies_on to !.i2p

is there anything interesting on i2p? (not sarcastic, genuinely questioning)

all i could find were things easier to get on the clearnet.

What would you expect?

The tor network has more common stuff, drugs etc.

I2p meanwhile is just really good for anonymity. I think using it for messengers is the best use. I was able to find a bunch of stuff, and yes unlike the dark web this would mostly be also there on the clearnet, mainly because there is no such business on i2p I guess

Just random people offering services for free, a few pads, pastebins, fileservers

You can find quite some cool stuff actually, but I think the main advantage is using it for messaging

And unlike i2p, i2pd also doesnt really use much battery? I could totally keep that on all day
