Resolving the Underground Internet

Alright, so I am currently trying to figure out how this idea may come to frution. I may update this post when I figure out how. Of course I would appreciate hints as I am quite new to name servers and web servers.
I want to have a name server that resolves ICANN names by querying name servers that are fast for that job, and resolves OpenNIC names by querying servers that resolve OpenNIC names. 
I also want the name server to resolve .i2p sites to a single web server that function as a web proxy to eepsites – serving eepsites based on what is given in the Host HTTP header. That way, people who use the name server should not have to change their proxy settings to access eepsites. 
I was thinking of using the BIND name server and the nginx web server for the job, but if these are too crippled for these jobs – please spare me some time pointing it out.
I want to be able to do this because Slashdot and others have really gotten into me about how the Internet may come to be controlled by some sort of police state – and even if it isn't, it is exciting to easiliy be able to share access to an "underground Internet."

stqn wrote:While I think that having to mess with proxy settings in order to use I2P is a big problem for its "mass market" acceptance, isn't there a security risk in allowing transparent access to both I2P and the "normal" Internet? An eepsite could contain links that point to the normal Internet and thus give up the user's IP address...
An eepsite could probably have for instance an iframe to a "normal Internet" web page that identifies the visitor's IP address, yes. I'm not very educated about the nature of I2P, but I understand that it is "pseudonymous," so if the pseudonym of the visitor was associated with an IP address, then the activities associated with that pseudonym could also be associated with that IP address. This should probably not be much of a concern if few activities were associated with the pseudonym.
I haven't got very far in this quest. It could seem as if I would have to maintain my DNS server as a root name server though if I was to use BIND, because it doesn't seem to be as flexible otherwise.

  • Does itunes 10.1 resolve the slow internet issues of itunes 10?

    Hi guys,
    when I installed iTunes 10 I experienced extremly slow internet connections and after looking through the forums, decided as some other users to revert back to iTunes 9. This did resolve my problems.
    Now I note that iTunes has moved to 10.1 and I was wondering whether people who have installed it have any issues with their internet connection. I have an iMac 2.67 Quad - intel with OSX 10.6.5.
    I would not want to go through all this again, I have been quite disappointed by this issue and the lack of support to it so I'd rather save the trouble and keep my opinion of Apple from any further damage !

    i was just forced to install 10.1 b/c 8.21 (BEST itunes version ever - super fast, never crashed, etc) which worked flawlessly finally told me i had to upgrade b/c i could no longer see the store - it just stopped working. it's VERY painful to use 10.1 now, esp the store. this thread covers the same topic:

  • How do you resolve the problem of ipad not staying connected to internet. other laptops remain connected but ipad just disconnects after about 5 seconds.

    how do you resolve the problem of ipad not staying connected to internet when other devices are connected. Ipad disconnects after about 5 seconds.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • When creating PDF I get message "This file was saved to the Temporary Internet  Files Folder"

    about 80% of the time when I am creating a PDF Document using the Print to Adobe function I get the following message:
    "For your computers security, this file was saved to the Temporary Internet Files folder"
    "Do you want to open this folder?"
    It doesn't matter if I say yes I want to open the folder or not I can never locate the file.
    I am using Vista Ultimate 32. for an operating system.
    I have the following programs installed too:
    Office 2007 Enterprise
    Office 2007 Project Professional
    Office Visio Professional 2007
    As a antivirus I am using Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008
    Diskeeper 2008 Pro
    Nero 8
    Quicken Home and Business 2008
    WinRar
    I am using Microsoft Internet explorer V 7.0.6001.18000
    Thank you for your help. I have looked everywhere and I'm lost.

    You can get the same results (as turning protected mode off) by:
    (presuming you have an icon for Internet Explorer on your desktop or taskbar) -- right click the icon and pick "Run as administrator"
    I've got the same problem printing to pdf (Acrobat v8; problem's only in IE7) on a Dell Optiplex/Vista Business desktop machine (though not my T61/Vista Ultimate Thinkpad laptop) and the above resolves the issue for my desktop machine. Certainly not a fix but perhaps a clue to Adobe developers, on the [slim?] chance they read these posts.

  • ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified [10g XE]

    Greetings
    There are many topics on this issue over the internet but None of them addresses this issue properly, so I couldn't find a solution to the problem.
    I installed: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition
    After the installation was done, I opened SQL Command Line
    and I used the command "connect" to login
    I enter the username
    Then I entered the password
    After a couple of seconds I got the following ERROR message:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    Screenshot of the error:
    http://i35.tinypic.com/14o26g7.png
    I installed this version of Oracle on both Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 32 bit and I get the same error message when it tries to connect.
    Why doesn't Oracle work right after the installation?
    Are there any further steps that need to be done in order to make this work? If so I would really appreciate any step by step help, I've been stuck trying to find a solution for days.

    Can you connect to ANYTHING at all on your network ???

  • I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once.  I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

    Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
    And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
    In my city small claims is $5000.00
    And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

  • How do I resolve the iPad error message" cannot verify identity of server"

    I have an iPad 2 model A1395 running iOS 7.2.1
    When browsing in Safari I continually get the message:
    Cannot verify server Identity Would you like to continue anyway?  with the options:  cancel, details, or continue
    If I select continue, I can go on to the site.  I've read that many others have this issue and eventually the iPad freezes on this error message.
    I selected "details" on one particular website (this happens on multiple websites, not just this one) and got the following information:
    details
    www. google.com
    Equifax Secure Certificate Authority
    Not Trusted
    I have searched and seen that this issue has been reported multiple times as far back as 2010, but each time the reply indicates that it is something about the specific website reported, however this happens on many different websites.  Can someone please address the problem with iPAD rather than one specific site?

    Verify that your time and date settings are correct. I have had this issue before where I had to temporarily change the date for something, and forgot to change it back. Also, my friend had this issue and was wondering why YouTube, Instagram, Vine, and anything on the internet simply wouldn't work. Turned out his date was very off, and I switched it back and it resolved the issue. Does it do this for some sites and not others? As far as I am concerned, this happened on ALL websites when the date was wrong on both my iPad, and my friends iPad.
    If that still doesn't help, try connecting to the sites with this issue using different WiFi connections.
    If THAT doesn't work, go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Lastly, if all else fails, restore the iPad to factory settings, and try then. After that, I am not sure what you could do.

  • HT201413 I get error 20 when I try to download updates to installed Apple software  I have two users on the IMac. I resolve the problem by clearing all cookies on both users Safari. Why do I need to do this? What is going on?

    I get Error 20 when I try to download updates for installed Apple apps on my IMac.  I have two users on the IMac, and I resolve the problem by clearing all cookies on both users Safari, opening and closing the App Store for each user, shutting down and restarting the IMac for each user, until finally the download works. There must be an easier way.  I also have an Air, where I have no problems whatsoever. Both machines have Doorstop and MacKeeper with the same settings, so I have ruled those programs out as the cause. I believe iot is because I have two users - any ideas?

    Please read this whole message and be sure you understand all of it before doing anything. Back up all data before making changes to your settings.
    Write down the server addresses.
    Click Cancel to close the Advanced sheet. Unlock the preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Open the DNS tab again and change the server addresses to the following:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself.
    2. I’m not advocating Google or anything else as a DNS provider; the server addresses are offerred merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

    The ipad "ipad" could not be restored. An unknown error ocurred (4013). How do i resolve the problem? Thanks ElroyD

    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.

  • I have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my mphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    i have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my iphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Error with PHP (can't resolve the connect identifier)

    Hello everybody,
    I have an issue that I hope you can help me with.
    I installed on an OpenSuse the following applications using the guides I found on this web site:
    - Apache 2 HTTP Server
    - PHP 5.2.9
    - Instantclient 11.1
    - Oracle 11g
    After hours of hard work and web navigation looking for information about the problems I got, I'm stucked and I don't find a way to continue.
    When PHP tries to connect to the Database, I get this message:
    Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified in [...]
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specifiedtnsping from a terminal resolves the name successfully, as you can see:

    OK (0 msec)The problem comes when PHP tries to connect, that's where Oracle doesn't resolve the SID.
    Environment variables ($ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_SID, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH) are set as guides say.
    By the way, maybe it's related: I can't either connect with JDeveloper to this database in other PC from the network. The data is correct (user, password, IP, port, SID/Service Name).
    This happens with a Linux O.S. Installing the same stuff on a Windows, PHP and JDeveloper work fine.
    Can you help me, please? I read all the info on the Internet I could get and can't find the solution.
    Tell me if you need me to show you any log or configuration file.
