What about Garlic Routing among other things

worksnoo · October 13, 2022, 3:14am

Hello Tribler team,
I have been using I2P for a while. One if its main features that differientates it from py-IPv8 is garlic routing. Garlic routing is an ehancement of onion routing that combines multiple messages into one clove to improve speed and resist traffic analysis. Also, when will you make mandatory the DHT security extension for libtorrent. It is desgined to protect against a few specific attacks against the bittorrent DHT. By refusing to connect to peers that do not implement it, you can help prevent DHT snooping and some active attacks. more at libtorrent You might also want to integrate UDP trackers with py-IPv8. Also, when will you upgrade from the insecure libtorrent v1 to libtorrent v2.

All the best,
Worksnoo

Regarding I2P, I have already tried to talking with Tribler team about it.

This is third part of my suggestion to Tribler Team. First part = https://gi…thub.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/6722 Second part posted by **devos50 thank you**. https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/6737 As suggested by devos50 creating a new issue to complete second part. _________________________________________________________________________________________ **Completely closed Dark-Net System** Best example is what I2P network is currently. The biggest reasons for my suggestion :- Whole network is e2e & p2p complete with garlic routing, network mixing, layered protection etc.. Everyone is a node as well as a relay. Exact same thing what Tribler was before CRI notices & reddit negative uproar. What I think it will help in? Help in solving DHT blocked calls issue as everyone will instantly become node as well as relay. Since, it will be a closed network with no outproxy, less chances of receiving any copyright letters, as was the unfortunate issue before when Tribler was default relay as well as node for everyone. Fixing the various issues with the Token Economy. Such as - blackhole token issue, uniting of token economies etc.. mentioned in Vadim's testament #6481. Errors due to other dependent libraries would not affect project development of Tribler. Channel feature, for which I think everyone in Tribler team was excited about. I think it can revive, being in a closed network might help in that regard. Since, NO IP would leak onto clearnet it would encourage users to make channels. Better search integration & results. As users can create a torrent & then share the torrent inside the application itself. No need to go elsewhere*.* Better & stable connections of DHT tunnels thereby helping users with torrenting speeds. _______________________________________________________________ **Thanks Tribler team for responses on Tribler subreddit.** Since, I do not know coding and am a layman. If there's any fundamental mistakes in my posts, please do tell me as I want to learn. Thank you.

Support or bridge the I2P network via a plugin in Tribler

As suggested by a user in a [Reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/tribler/com…ments/s6yz9p/regarding_dht_node_calls_block_issue/): I2P network is supported or bridged via a plugin in Tribler. This bridge will help users of Tribler, as new set of peers from I2P will help in uploading/downloading the torrent. Thereby, bypassing the bottleneck of DHT Blocked calls currently faced by Tribler. ![ogb871avggc81](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1707075/150326741-c348c5a2-e203-4d78-8327-f6ad9017d078.png) I am thinking on the line of something that can be seen from above image.

I have also had discussion about v2 with them. They have said - they would have to change everything to apply V2 and thus stalling that update.

No update about I2P though or about closed system.
