i2psetproxy.js
WebExtension that does extended configuration of a dedicated i2p browser. It's still not good enough to use on it's own, and should be combined with the Tor Browser or the I2P Firefox Profile for now.
Features
- [done] Indicate the i2p browser is in use verbally and symbolically.
- [done] Set the http proxy to use the local i2p proxy
- [done] Disable risky webRTC features
- [done] Change the color of the browser window to indicate that i2p is in use
- [done] Reset the HTTP Proxy tunnel to generate a new destination on-demand
- it does this by working in conjunction with this standalone HTTP proxy*
- [started] Provide help in a variety of languages.
Usage with standalone HTTP Proxy
I developed a simple HTTP proxy that can be used with this extension to enable the user to initiate a re-start of the HTTP proxy tunnel, with a new set of keys and a new destination. This, combined with re-setting the browser settings back to the original defaults(which is also done by the HTTP Proxy when re-initiated), amounts to a "Fresh Identity" feature for the I2P browser.
Before you begin, get the Standalone HTTP proxy from here and run it like so:
httpproxy -littleboss=start
You can also use 'go get'
go get -u github.com/eyedeekay/httptunnel/httpproxy
If you change the default host and port, you will need to alter the following guide.
In order to use it with the custom HTTP proxy, open the "Add-On's" menu and select the options for the i2psetproxy.js plugin. Change the "Proxy" configuration from
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 4444
to
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 7950
and change the "Control" configuration from:
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 4444
to
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 7951
Now, when you press the Toopie button in the toolbar, you will see in the output of the HTTP proxy that it has been re-started.
