Ports required by i2p:
1. Outbound (Internet facing): a random port between 9000 and 31000 is selected however its better if all ports are open and it doesn't affect your security. You can check firewall status using `sudo ufw status verbose` which shouldn't deny outgoing by default.
2. Inbound (Internet facing): Optional

It is not installed by [Bitcoin Standup](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Bitcoin-Standup-Scripts) right now as i2p support was recently added in Bitcoin core. However, you can try it manually by following the steps mentioned in [Section One](15_1_i2p_service.md).

> :information_source: **NOTE:** _i2pd_ (C++) is different from _i2prouter_ (Java), you will need `i2pd` for Bitcoin Core.
> :information_source: **NOTE:** For the official i2prouter implementation in Java, visit [download](https://geti2p.net/en/download) page and follow the instructions for your Operating System. Once installed, open a terminal window and type `i2prouter start`. Then visit `127.0.0.1:7657` in your browser to enable SAM. To do so, select: "Configure Homepage", then "Clients", and finally select the "Play Button" next to SAM application Bridge. On the left side of the page, there should be a green light next to "Shared Clients".
