On Android/GrapheneOS, Firefox/Mull/variants is the only browser with the needed proxy settings to use with i2p.

After a bit of searching, it works very well!

As i2p servers you can use “i2p”, “i2pd” (more minimal but more efficient) or “InviziblePro” which bundles some implementation of i2p.

I am using i2pd currently, and it works well.

Installed the apps with Obtainium

  • Mull from the DivestOS F-Droid repo
  • i2pd from the purplei2p F-Droid repo
  • MullvadVPN from Github, Orbot from the guardianproject repo (as fallback if clearnet sites are used)

The browser can open .i2p and clearnet sites, using a little hack:

network.proxy.no_proxies_on to !.i2p

    Dumb question: can anyone host a i2p site on a personal device? For instance, if I leave a PC or old phone connected to the network, how easy/hard is it to configure so I have a working site accessible to everyone on the network?

      Anyone can host a site. Just keep it up for like a month without a pause so that it can be discovered.

      Then go to a domain registrar and get a domain name. I2p sites have BASE32 names, kinda like onion addresses. But they can also use shorter names like postman.i2p

      If you register such a name, the site will become more discoverable as those registrars likely share the sites, you might appear in some lists, people connect to you, add you to their address book and forward stuff to you.

    that about:config hack is neat, but it would be much betterif firefox supported container tabs like on desktop.

    Unfortunately since they moved back to their mercury based internal code forge, it’s become quite difficult to track the state of unimplemented features, so who knows if they even have it in mind
