How to connect to IRC with i2pd on Android

Step 1: Install i2pd app from https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd-android/releases

Step 2: Run the app to start the router

Step 3: Go to your file manager and find i2pd directory within your storage device

Step 4: Add tunnels. Either append tunnel configurations within the i2pd/tunnels.conf or create a new *.conf file for each tunnel within the i2pd/tunnels.d/ directory. Take note of the port = assigned to your tunnels, we will need those to connect later

Example tunnel configs:

[IRC-ILITA-RUSIRC]
type = client
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 6670
destination = rusirc.ilita.i2p
destinationport = 6667
keys = irc-rusirc-keys.dat

[IRC-ILITA-R4SAS]
type = client
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 6668
destination = irc.r4sas.i2p
destinationport = 6667
keys = irc-r4sas-keys.dat

[IRC-ILITA-1]
type = client
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 6667
destination = irc.ilita.i2p
destinationport = 6667
keys = irc-ilita-keys.dat

[IRC-ILITA-ACETONE]
type = client
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 6669
destination = irc.acetone.i2p
destinationport = 6667
keys = irc-acetone-keys.dat

Step 5: Navigate to the i2pd app, tap the 3-dot menu (kebab menu) and choose Reload Tunnels

Step 6: You can go to the i2pd web console and check under I2P Tunnels to see if your tunnel was loaded successfully

Step 7: Download and install a IRC client app for Android, Ex. Revolution IRCfrom https://f-droid.org/packages/io.mrarm.irc/

Step 8: Open your IRC client and Add A New Server, and type in the details from the tunnel config from earlier. Make sure you have the correct PORT

Step 9: Your IRC client should connect now

Done!
