+{% trans -%}
+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.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% 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 -%}Performing a Reseed from File{%- 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 %}
