eepview shows the setup screen when it finds no router.
- Install one from the screen, or install Java I2P yourself and restart eepview.
- If you run a router as a system service, start it first. On Linux that is often
i2p.service. eepview cannot start a service for you. - If eepview says a port answers but is not I2P, another program uses that port. eepview refuses to use it.
- If the router is too old, update it, or let eepview install its own next to it.
- If a download is blocked, use "I have the installer file".
The name is not in your address book. An address book maps a name like foo.i2p to a long address.
- Check the spelling.
- Use a jump service. Open a service such as
reg.i2porstats.i2p(both are in your bookmarks), and look the name up. - Or use the long
.b32.i2paddress of the site. It always works.
The name is known, but the site did not answer.
- The site may be offline. Many eepsites run on home computers.
- Your tunnels may still be building. Wait a few minutes.
- Wait, then reload.
The first visit to a site builds new tunnels. That takes time. The next page loads faster. After a restart the router also needs a minute to warm up. Slowness is normal on I2P.
eepview opens only .i2p addresses. A link to any other address shows the blocked page. This is by design, and no setting turns it off. Use another browser for that address.
eepview closes all pages and retries on its own. Use Restart now to try at once. If it keeps failing, collect the logs.
Include logs when you open an issue. Remove any private data first.
- Run eepview from a terminal to see its output.
- Copy the text of the router status panel.
- Open an issue at github.com/tcivie/eepview/issues. Do not report vulnerabilities there. See SECURITY.md.
