Download Oracle VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Download Mint 17.1 MATE, http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php, choose the version that is compatible with your system (32/64 bits)
Install VirtualBox, create a new Virtual Machine (VM) based on Linux Ubuntu, allocate 2048 MB memory, VDI dynamic, all default options
Run it, select your Mint iso file, install Mint
Restart VM, log in and open terminal (right click on desktop) type:
sudo apt-get install g++
Run web browser and go to https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd
Download the ZIP file https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/archive/master.zip (alternatively execute from home
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd.git
In this case it will install in /home/i2pd directory
Open the download directory, right click and extract to home directory
In the terminal type:
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-regex-dev libcrypto++-dev libboost-date-time-dev
cd
cd i2pd-master
make
Shutdown the VM
In VirtualBox, select the VM and click on network
Select bridge network and choose your network adapter
Allow promiscuity mode All and write your MAC ID
Restart the VM, log in and in terminal type:
ping 192.168.1.55
It shall reply ‘From 192.168.1.xx Destination Host Unreachable’ : 192.168.1.xx is your IP address on the local network
Now open your router configuration in your normal browser (address is often 192.168.1.1 or type ipconfig in windows console and look for “standard gateway”)
You have to find your DHCP setting and bind address 192.168.1.xx to a static address with MAC ID = the one you wrote from VirtualBox network option
When this is done, go in the VM and type in terminal:
cd i2pd-master
./i2p -daemon=1
It will display the version of i2pd, the data directory and the CMD parameters. Now type:
cd ../.i2pd
In this directory, from terminal type:
nano i2pd.log
Search in the file: Start listening TCP port zzzzz and Start listening UDP zzzzz
zzzzz is the port number which i2pd is listening to
Now go back in your router configuration page in your normal web browser
Forward the ports TCP and UDP zzzzz to 192.168.1.xx
Go in the VM, close nano (ctrl+X) and type
pkill i2p
Restart the VM, log in and in terminal type:
cd i2pd-master
./i2p -daemon=1 -port=zzzzz -samport=7656
Now i2pd is running in the background
To access the webconsole, go in your favorite browser and connect to 192.168.1.xx:7070
In Windows, open directory %appdata%/anoncoin/ (Win+R then type in the box %appdata%/anoncoin/)
In that directory, edit anoncoin.conf (for version 0.9.4) and change those lines:
onlynet=i2p #(if only i2p is wanted and not ipv4, be sure to not have any addnode=ipv4 address remaining)
[i2p.options]
enabled=1
static=1 #(be sure to have defined the three keys of a static I2P address in [i2p.mydestination])
samhost=192.168.1.xx #(the static local IP address allocated to the VM in DHCP)
samport=7656
Run anoncoin-qt
Wait until it open and then get connected (check the peers in debug windows, it can take from 5 min to 20 min)
