I2P Interface
=============
The I2P interface lets you connect Reticulum instances over the
`Invisible Internet Protocol <https://i2pd.website>`_. This can be
especially useful in cases where you want to host a globally reachable
Reticulum instance, but do not have access to any public IP addresses,
have a frequently changing IP address, or have firewalls blocking
inbound traffic.
Using the I2P interface, you will get a globally reachable, portable
and persistent I2P address that your Reticulum instance can be reached
at. The I2P
To use the I2P interface, you must have an I2P router running
on your system. The easiest way to acheive this is to download and
install the `latest release <https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/releases/latest>`_
of the ``ì2pd```package. For more details about I2P, see the
`geti2p.net website <https://geti2p.net/en/about/intro>`_.`
When an I2P router is running on your system, you can simply add
an I2P interface to reticulum:
.. code::
[[I2P]]
type = I2PInterface
interface_enabled = yes
On the first start, Reticulum will generate a new I2P address for the
interface and start listening for inbound traffic on it. This can take
a while the first time, especially if your I2P router was also just
started, and is not yet well-connected to the I2P network. When ready,
you should see I2P base32 address printed to your log file. You can
also inspect the status of the interface using the ``rnstatus`` utility.
To connect to other Reticulum instances over I2P, just add a comma-separated
list of I2P base32 addresses to the ``peers```option of the interface:
.. code::
[[I2P]]
type = I2PInterface
interface_enabled = yes
peers = 5urvjicpzi7q3ybztsef4i5ow2aq4soktfj7zedz53s47r54jnqq.b32.i2p
It can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to establish
I2P connections to the desired peers, so Reticulum handles the process
in the background, and will output relevant events to the log.
**Please Note!** While the I2P interface is the simplest way to use
Reticulum over I2P, it is also possible to tunnel the TCP server and
client interfaces over I2P manually. This can be useful in situations
where more control is needed, but requires manual tunnel setup through
the I2P daemon configuration.
It is important to note that the two methods are *interchangably compatible*.
You can use the I2PInterface to connect to a TCPServerInterface that
was manually tunneled over I2P, for example. This offers a high degree
of flexibility in network setup, while retaining ease of use in simpler
use-cases.
.. _interfaces-tcps:
TCP Server Interface
====================
The TCP Server interface is suitable for allowing other peers to connect over
the Internet or private IP networks. When a TCP server interface has been
configured, other Reticulum peers can connect to it with a TCP Client interface.
.. code::
# This example demonstrates a TCP server interface.
# It will listen for incoming connections on the
# specified IP address and port number.
[[TCP Server Interface]]
type = TCPServerInterface
interface_enabled = True
# This configuration will listen on all IP
# interfaces on port 4242
listen_ip = 0.0.0.0
listen_port = 4242
# Alternatively you can bind to a specific IP
# listen_ip = 10.0.0.88
# listen_port = 4242
# Or a specific network device
# device = eth0
# port = 4242
**Please Note!** The TCP interfaces support tunneling over I2P, but to do so reliably,
you must use the i2p_tunneled option:
.. code::
[[TCP Server on I2P]]
type = TCPServerInterface
interface_enabled = yes
listen_ip = 127.0.0.1
listen_port = 5001
i2p_tunneled = yes
.. _interfaces-tcpc:
TCP Client Interface
====================
To connect to a TCP server interface, you would naturally use the TCP client
interface. Many TCP Client interfaces from different peers can connect to the
same TCP Server interface at the same time.
.. code::
# Here's an example of a TCP Client interface. The
# target_host can either be an IP address or a hostname.
[[TCP Client Interface]]
type = TCPClientInterface
interface_enabled = True
target_host = 127.0.0.1
target_port = 4242
It is also possible to use this interface type to connect via other programs
or hardware devices that expose a KISS interface on a TCP port, for example
software-based soundmodems. To do this, use the ``kiss_framing`` option:
.. code::
# Here's an example of a TCP Client interface that connects
# to a software TNC soundmodem on a KISS over TCP port.
[[TCP KISS Interface]]
type = TCPClientInterface
interface_enabled = True
kiss_framing = True
target_host = 127.0.0.1
target_port = 8001
**Caution!** Only use the KISS framing option when connecting to external devices
and programs like soundmodems and similar over TCP. When using the
``TCPClientInterface`` in conjunction with the ``TCPServerInterface`` you should
never enable ``kiss_framing``, since this will disable internal reliability and
recovery mechanisms that greatly improves performance over unreliable and
intermittent TCP links.
**Please Note!** The TCP interfaces support tunneling over I2P, but to do so reliably,
you must use the i2p_tunneled option:
.. code::

Common Interface Options
========================
A number of general options can be used to control various
aspects of interface behaviour.
The ``outgoing`` option sets whether an interface is allowed
to transmit. Defaults to ``True``. If set to ``False`` the
interface will only receive data, and never transmit.
The ``interface_mode`` option allows selecting the high-level
behaviour of the interface from a number of options.
- The default value is ``full``. In this mode, all discovery,
meshing and transpor functionality is available.
- In the ``access_point`` (or shorthand ``ap``) mode, the
interface will operate as a network access point. In this
mode, announces will not be automatically broadcasted on
the interface, and paths to destinations on the interface
will have a much shorter expiry time. This mode is useful
for creating interfaces that are mostly quiet, unless when
someone is actually using them. An example of this could
be a radio interface serving a wide area, where users are
expected to connect momentarily, use the network, and then
disappear again.
The ``interface_enabled`` option tells Reticulum whether or not
to bring up the interface. Defaults to ``False``. For any
interface to be brought up, the ``interface_enabled`` option
must be set to ``True`` or ``Yes``.

<span id="interfaces-i2p"></span><h2>I2P Interface<a class="headerlink" href="#i2p-interface" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The I2P interface lets you connect Reticulum instances over the
<a class="reference external" href="https://i2pd.website">Invisible Internet Protocol</a>. This can be
especially useful in cases where you want to host a globally reachable
Reticulum instance, but do not have access to any public IP addresses,
have a frequently changing IP address, or have firewalls blocking
inbound traffic.</p>
<p>Using the I2P interface, you will get a globally reachable, portable
and persistent I2P address that your Reticulum instance can be reached
at. The I2P</p>
<p>To use the I2P interface, you must have an I2P router running
on your system. The easiest way to acheive this is to download and
install the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/releases/latest">latest release</a>
of the <a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">``</span></a>ì2pd```package. For more details about I2P, see the
<a class="reference external" href="https://geti2p.net/en/about/intro">geti2p.net website</a>.`</p>
<p>When an I2P router is running on your system, you can simply add
an I2P interface to reticulum:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[[</span><span class="n">I2P</span><span class="p">]]</span>
<span class="nb">type</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">I2PInterface</span>
<span class="n">interface_enabled</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">yes</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>On the first start, Reticulum will generate a new I2P address for the
interface and start listening for inbound traffic on it. This can take
a while the first time, especially if your I2P router was also just
started, and is not yet well-connected to the I2P network. When ready,
you should see I2P base32 address printed to your log file. You can
also inspect the status of the interface using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnstatus</span></code> utility.</p>
<p>To connect to other Reticulum instances over I2P, just add a comma-separated
list of I2P base32 addresses to the <a href="#id3"><span class="problematic" id="id4">``</span></a>peers```option of the interface:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[[</span><span class="n">I2P</span><span class="p">]]</span>
<span class="nb">type</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">I2PInterface</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>It can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to establish
I2P connections to the desired peers, so Reticulum handles the process
in the background, and will output relevant events to the log.</p>
<p><strong>Please Note!</strong> While the I2P interface is the simplest way to use
Reticulum over I2P, it is also possible to tunnel the TCP server and
client interfaces over I2P manually. This can be useful in situations
where more control is needed, but requires manual tunnel setup through
the I2P daemon configuration.</p>
<p>It is important to note that the two methods are <em>interchangably compatible</em>.
You can use the I2PInterface to connect to a TCPServerInterface that
was manually tunneled over I2P, for example. This offers a high degree
of flexibility in network setup, while retaining ease of use in simpler
use-cases.</p>

<span id="interfaces-options"></span><h2>Common Interface Options<a class="headerlink" href="#common-interface-options" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>A number of general options can be used to control various
aspects of interface behaviour.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">outgoing</span></code> option sets whether an interface is allowed
to transmit. Defaults to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>. If set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code> the
interface will only receive data, and never transmit.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">interface_mode</span></code> option allows selecting the high-level
behaviour of the interface from a number of options.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p>The default value is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">full</span></code>. In this mode, all discovery,
meshing and transpor functionality is available.</p></li>
<li><p>In the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">access_point</span></code> (or shorthand <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ap</span></code>) mode, the
interface will operate as a network access point. In this
mode, announces will not be automatically broadcasted on
the interface, and paths to destinations on the interface
will have a much shorter expiry time. This mode is useful
for creating interfaces that are mostly quiet, unless when
someone is actually using them. An example of this could
be a radio interface serving a wide area, where users are
expected to connect momentarily, use the network, and then
disappear again.</p></li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">interface_enabled</span></code> option tells Reticulum whether or not
to bring up the interface. Defaults to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code>. For any
interface to be brought up, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">interface_enabled</span></code> option
must be set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Yes</span></code>.</p>
