Temporal I2P Infrastructure Refresh
Due to a recent mishap we’ve had to refresh our I2P infrastructure. We still haven’t yet got the IPFS gateway back online, but we’ve made available the entire Temporal platform via hidden services. This includes the new Playground , Temporal’s API, and our IPFS HTTP API proxy.
This means you can upload files and directories to IPFS without ever leaving I2P. You can send pubsub messages, publish IPNS records, everything you can do with our platform, you can now do over I2P.
We’ve tried to optimize our hidden services for a balance between privacy and speed. The web interface uses a tunnel hop count of 2, whereas all APIs use a tunnel hop count of 1. Each hidden service has two backup tunnels. Also note that there isn’t any high availability (yet). Each hidden service points to one backend IP Address, so there is a chance for outages to happen which wouldn’t effect the clearnet endpoints.
The hidden services are essentially just exposing the production infrastructure over I2P. All user accounts you have in production can be used accessing the services over I2P

Before you start accessing the hidden services it is very import we be transparent about one thing. The playground has integration with google reCAPTCHA, however this will fail to load properly when accessing play2 via the hidden service. Additionally play2 uses the fathom analytic engine that we host in our own infrastructure. If any of these are problematic to you, please dont use the web interface until we remove those components if they are problematic to you.
Don’t use this for anything illegal, using this for illegal purposes will lead to us shutting down the hidden service. We believe in a free and open internet for everyone with the rights to privacy, so please do not abuse this system and ruin these advantages for everyone.
