Does I2P's SOCKS proxy work in a way that's similar to Tor? Other
proxies in I2P are protocol-specific â e.g., ports 4444/4445 for
HTTP(S) and 6668 for IRC. I am quite sure that protocol-specific local
I2P proxies like HTTP and IRC strip sensitive information, so
providing the user with an easy access to .i2p services via SOCKS
might be the wrong thing to do. The SOCKS information page [1] is
rather scarce on details of what actually goes on inside the proxy,
however.
