How do you increase the number of hops I2Pd does?

[Chef K]

I've tried to read the documentation but I couldn't find it so I'm posting here...

I am new to I2P so please forgive me for this,

also, what happens if you go beyond 7 hops?

Hi Chef K!

also, what happens if you go beyond 7 hops?

I've been getting low tunnel creation success rates …

if you do this through i2cp i've found it just crashes i2pd so i wouldn't be surprised if this would also do that

[Chef K]

I'm asking how to configure I2Pd to USE more hops and not trying to discuss the topic of number of hops.

above was in response to that. really no reason to go that high

its in your i2pd.conf and tunnels.conf files, these params under each block

Code: Select all

inbound.length = x
outbound.length = x
inbound.quantity = x
outbound.quantity = x

inbound.quantity = x

I see in my i2pd.conf file that I have a length of 2 and a quantity of 3

Code: Select all

# inbound.length = 2
# inbound.quantity = 3
# outbound.length = 2
# outbound.quantity = 3

As an example, If I wanted to increase it, Would I set my length to 3 and my quantity to 4?
Like:

Code: Select all

inbound.length = 3
inbound.quantity = 4
outbound.length = 3
outbound.quantity = 4

or is it just only either the quantity or length that matters?

if you only care about hops its length, quantity is number of tunnels
