Question What happened to Dread?

[bbgate]

Hi all, who knows what happened to Dread? It doesn't work...

 

[GOUPIL]

if i was a cop i will use Dread to learn how drug dealers use darkweb, even if i can't track their IP. At least i konw how they do properly their jobs.


A giant DDOS is ongoing on the Dread server.

 

[GOUPIL]

Sorry for the double post but i don't know how to remove a message ^^

 

[KokosDreams]

So is your guess that it could be another forum or rather another DNM?

 

[GOUPIL]

another forum... why not but which one has enough money to run such a DDOS? and Dread is not a DNM, at the contrary they make advertisement about them..
Fuck... maybe it's just fucking LE

 

[KokosDreams]

That's my guess too, curious how this will turn out longterm

 

[GOUPIL]

me too

 

[KokosDreams]

Is there a new update from /u/HugBunter or /u/Paris that someone could share here?

I couldn't access throught he regular links for weeks now (same for I2P smh)

 

[GOUPIL]

regular onion links are fucking deads for me, and i try a good amount of them, but i2p works perfectly...
Do you think you have a good i2p setup?

 

[KokosDreams]

I tried to load the I2P with my Tor. Is there anything specific I need to do?

 

[GOUPIL]

oh no it's not working like that.
you need to setup a manual proxy with this address 127.0.0.1 port 4444
i strongly recommend to use firefox and to run i2p with a vpn.
look here for more details : https://geti2p.net/en/

 

[KokosDreams]

Damn isn't I2P working via tor too if I set-up the correct proxy?
Why do I need to use this adress and port specifically?

Thanks for sending the link tho, I'll read into it

Edit: I figured there is an I2P broswer I can download, what's your take on that?

 

[GOUPIL]

i2p can works with tor but it's for very advanced users. In my opinion i recommend to use Firefox.
then go in settings > network setting > manual proxy and change the http https.
The specific127.0.0.1 proxy connect you to the i2p server that allows you to be a node of the network. I'm not the best for explaining that but unfortunately you have to use a vpn with i2p. I2p doesn't hide your IP but no one can know what you r doing on the net.
Whats is the name of your broswer i2p?

 

[Amphibian]

You could check out I2P+ https://i2pplus.github.io/ it's way easier to understand and to configure as the official client and if you want to use Firefox always change "media.peerconnection.ice.proxy_only" to "true" (about:config)

 

[KokosDreams]

Oh okay, I will definitely teach myself to use it with Tor. I don't like normal browsers
There is a download on the I2P homepage, I thought it's a browser


Thanks for explaining

 

[GOUPIL]

if you succeed to setup tor for using i2p then you will not anymore need a vpn.
I know tor is cool but Firefox is not against the privacy! They send donations every year for the tor project, they are alike cousin.

 

[KokosDreams]

Yeah that's why I'd like to learn it
Very interesting to know and very cool!

 

[GOUPIL]

and it's really easy to setup with firefox... maybe with whonix who force to the connection through tor, you don't need either a vpn.

 

[ÇOÇOÇØ]

there are some rumors that the real Hugbunter is released from jail recently .
this can exp lane the DDOS

 

[KokosDreams]

This is a bold statement.

Do you got a source for those 'rumors'?

O.M.G I search for some answers and this could be true . The people arrested in the bunker in Germany.
Where allot off dark websites where hosted . Could be free today . There always were rumors that hugbunter was also.
Active there in the bunker . Because just after the bust, dread was offline for months .
