i2p support? #920

Closed SoniEx2 closed 4 years ago

SoniEx2 commented 4 years ago

does drawpile support i2p? it'd be cool to see i2p support, and maybe even an embedded i2p router.

Drawpile uses the TCP protocol for comunication, i2p works with TCP through I2PTunnel. You merely need to set it from the I2PTunnel side to mask the Drawpile TCP port.

There is nothing on Drawpile side that needs to be done.

if drawpile does something funky with IP addresses, it might need to be adapted. e.g. bittorrent also uses TCP (well, used, but anyway) but doesn't work as-is with i2p because it relies on IP addresses being sent around the network. IRC, on the other hand, mostly just works.

additionally, having an embedded i2p router would allow drawpile users to just seamlessly start a server and share a link and things would just work, ideally.

It doesn't do funky things. If you can reach it, it will comunicate. Why don't you try it?

because my friend wants me to setup yggdrasil and I'd rather this was just a built-in feature in addition to "dedicated server" and "open to LAN". probably with a name like "share code".

If there were a bigger demand it'd be justified to develop but you're the only user with such requirements. Anyhow, Drawpile is open source, you're free to contribute such patch.

Either way, you can host your session on a public server and your experience will be the same.

okay, thanks anyway
