Most new I2P routers join the network by bootstrapping with the help of
|
||||
a reseed service. However, reseed services are centralized and
|
||||
comparatively easy to block, considering the emphasis on de-centralized
|
||||
and un-blockable connections in the rest of the I2P network. If a new
|
||||
I2P router finds itself unable to bootstrap, it may be a possible to use
|
||||
an existing I2P router to generate a working “Reseed bundle” and
|
||||
bootstrap without the need of a reseed service.

{% trans -%}
|
||||
It is possible for a user with a working I2P connection to help a
|
||||
blocked router join the network by generating a reseed file and passing
|
||||
it to them via a secret or non-blocked channel. In fact, in many
|
||||
circumstances, an I2P router that is already connected will not be
|
||||
affected by reseed blocking at all, so **having working I2P routers
|
||||
around means that existing I2P routers can help new I2P routers by
|
||||
providing them with a hidden way of bootstrapping**.

--------------------------------------
|

|
||||
- {% trans -%} To create a reseed bundle for others to use, go to the `Reseed
|
||||
configuration page <http://127.0.0.1:7657/configreseed>`__. You will
|
||||
see a section that looks like this. Click the button indicated by the
|
||||
red circle. |Create a Reseed Zip| {%- endtrans %}
|
||||
- {% trans -%} Now that you’ve clicked the button, a zip will be generated
|
||||
containing enough information to bootstrap a new I2P router. Download
|
||||
it and transfer it to the computer with the new, un-bootstrapped I2P
|

router. |Downloads a Reseed Zip| {%- endtrans %}

------------------------------------------
|

|

- {% trans -%} Obtain an i2preseed.zip file from a friend with an I2P router that is
|

already running, or from a trusted source somewhere on the internet,
|
||||
and visit the `Reseed Configuration
|
||||
page <http://127.0.0.1:7657/configreseed>`__. Click the button that
|

says “Select zip or su3 file” and navigate to that file. |Select a

Reseed Zip| {%- endtrans %}
|

- {% trans -%} When you’ve selected your reseed file, click the “Reseed from File”
|

button. |Reseed from a Zip File|. You’re done! Your router will now
|
||||
bootstrap using the zip file, and you will be ready to join the I2P

network. {%- endtrans %}
