The I2P Out-of-the-Box: Try I2P easily with I2P Firefox Browser Profile
An I2P answer to the great Tor Browser Bundle.
Tor has become immensely popular in recent years. One of the reasons is the existence of Tor Browser Bundle (TBB). TBB is a carefully pre-configured set of Tor, Mozilla Firefox and other good things. With TBB, you can use Tor off the shelf, without tweaking advanced settings by yourself.
There have been several attempts to produce “I2P Browser Bundle”, but most of them died prematurely. However, now we have I2P Firefox Browser Profile (FBP) Installer. It is mainly for Windows at the moment, but Mac OSX and GNU/Linux support are being developed.
Installing Firefox/I2P/I2P FBP
Unlike TBB, which bundles Firefox & Co., you still have to install Firefox and I2P by hand for I2P FBP. It is not difficult, since they have excellent installers — visit their sites and follow instructions.
- Mozilla Firefox (or you might prefer ESR (Extended Support Releases))
- I2P
Also, you have to run the I2P router by yourself. Click “Start I2P (non window)” in the Windows 10 Menu and wait for a while.
