Issues with the I2Pd mobile app on Android (low tunnel creation success rate).

[Chef K]

Hello, I've been having issues with the I2Pd app on my phone,

I've been getting low tunnel creation success rates on it and no matter how many times I turn it off and back on alongside reinstalling and clearing the cache, It will sometimes persist.

even after 47 minutes, I still have a 3% tunnel creation success rate...

on some occasions, I will get a rate of 36 to 50%.

could this be an issue caused by my Orbot?

I would like to have this issue resolved so that I can surf I2P on my phone peacefully.

Please and Thank You.

Does it run in VPN mode? If it does, it probably wraps all traffic through Tor. That is not good for i2p. (See my other post).

Also if you run it on your phone, it might do some battery optimizations and interfere with running i2p. (Especially when screen is off)

Oof, yeah it does...

Is there a way to run orbot with an app white-list on I2Pd?

Is this why people have been recommending InviZible Pro?

[anikey]

VPN apps usually have a feature to exclude apps from the VPN, but I don't know orbot specifically

Good news everyone!

I decided to use inviZible Pro for the first time and after 8 minutes of use, I got 46% Tunnel creation success rate!

I couldn't find any infomation on excluding apps without excluding everything on Orbot so I might like inviZible Pro...
