<h3>{{ _('Outproxy Terms Of Service') }}</h3>
<p>{% trans -%}
Remember: I2P was not designed for creating proxies to the outer Internet.
Instead, it is meant to be used as an internal network.
{%- endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans -%}
<p><b>The I2P project itself does not run any proxies to the Internet.</b> 
The only outproxy is a service from the privacy solutions project. 
Consider donating to them for a continued stable service. Higher bandwidth will 
increase with the founding of the organization. Maybe more outproxies too.</p>

{%- endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans http='false.i2p', https='outproxy-tor.meeh.i2p' -%}
By default, I2P comes with two outproxies configured: <code>{{ http }}</code> 
and <code>{{ https }}</code>. Even the domain names are different, it's the same outproxy you hit.
(multi-homed/keyed for better performance)
{%- endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans -%}
Filtering is active on these outproxies (for example, mibbit and torrent
tracker access is blocked). Eepsites
that are accessible via .i2p addresses are also not allowed via the outproxies.
As a convenience, the outproxy blocks ad servers.

<a href="https://www.torproject.org">Tor</a> is good application to use as an
outproxy to the Internet.
