Unable to use the only two gopher sites in existence on I2P.

Post by Chef K »

Has anybody had this issue before?

I am currently using Netscape Navigator 9.0.0.6 and I am able to verify that I can connect to Gopher sites using Netscape Navigator as seen in this image:

but recently, I just found out that there are Gopher sites on the Darknet. so I tried to connect to them!

However, Netscape Navigator is unable to interpret these sites correctly and keeps returning me the HTML Versions of these sites instead of the Gopher formatted sites:

has anybody else had this issue before? How are you suppost to fix it?

these are the sites I tried:
gopher://iktj6kmb3cdtnddzff52femg2tji2eqx65onwozeo7j62stfxzfq.b32.i2p/
gopher://verncceu2kgz54wi7r5jatgmx2mqtsh3knxhiy4m5shescuqtqfa.b32.i2p/

Thank you for your support.

For me, I had to make sure that the socks proxy was enabled in my i2p(d) server, and then I could connect with lynx:

Code: Select all

lynx -socks5_proxy=127.0.0.1:4447 gopher://verncceu2kgz54wi7r5jatgmx2mqtsh3knxhiy4m5shescuqtqfa.b32.i2p/
lynx -socks5_proxy=127.0.0.1:4447 gopher://iktj6kmb3cdtnddzff52femg2tji2eqx65onwozeo7j62stfxzfq.b32.i2p/
