Prerequisites

"I2PControl" plugin has to be installed on the i2p node you want to control.

~~Plugin is available here: http://plugins.i2p/files/I2PControl.xpi2p or here: http://itoopie.i2p/files/I2PControl.xpi2p~~ To install the plugin, open the i2p console in the browser, e.g.: “http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients”, then enter the plugin URL in the "Plugin Installation" field on the bottom of the web page, click "Install Plugin" and wait until installation is finished.

Note: Because of the sudden shutdown of http://plugins.i2p the above links do not work any more. I have recovered the latest plugin version, you can download it here. Install the plugin manually in the console: http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients

Troubleshooting

If you are having troubles downloading the plugin then check whether your router does know itoopie.i2p eepsite address. If not, open itoopie.i2p in the browser and follow usual steps to find out and save itoopie.i2p site address into router’s address book (use one of the available jump services like i2host.i2p or stats.i2p).

If you are using I2PMonitor to connect to the remote i2p router (i.e. having the IP address other than 127.0.0.1) then be sure to configure I2PControl plugin on the router to accept incoming connections from all interfaces.

To do this, first, terminate the plugin or entire router (oversize I2PControl plugin will overwrite the configuration file we age going to change). Then edit the plugins’s configuration file (“~~/.i2p/plugins/I2PControl/I2PControl.conf” on Debian or “~~/Library/Application Support/i2p/plugins/I2PControl/I2PControl.conf” on Mac) and add or change the following properties to the values below:

i2pcontrol.listen.address=0.0.0.0 i2pcontrol.listen.port=7650

Start the plugin or entire router again.
