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**.
