Implement possibility to define multiple/or range of ports in i2np.udp.port and i2np.ntcp.port

[anonymous]

Users living in areas where access to Internet is under censorship can experience that common I2P port can be blocked, or that only common (http, https...) ports are allowed and other forbiden.

This was for example a case in Iran, so Iran proxy campaign was launched. see  http://blog.austinheap.com/how-to-setup-a-proxy-for-iran-citizens/ and  http://dev.austinheap.com/iran/squid-iran-ideal.txt

Admin of an I2P router could then define multiple external ports so I2P could be reach for example on port 80 (with help of port forwarding etc...), 443 etc...

This would help people in countries where Internet is under censorship. Of course this is not 100% solution, but could help.

The router picks a random port between 9000 and 32000 at first installation. This was implemented in 0.7.8 in 12-2009. The min and max port can be set in advanced config i2np.udp.minPort and i2np.udp.maxPort.

All this was implemented before you filed this ticket?

As of now, several months later, the majority of the routers are not using the old 8887 port.

And you can configure any port you want on config.jsp.

So I think we already do everything you ask.

I think this ticket is more about having multiple ports at the same time, so that one router publishes multiple NTCP entries with different ports.

yes, the request was to publish multiple ports, like some IRC servers do, they can be access via 80, 443, 7777 etc...

I'm not really sure why we need multiple ports. But we need to plan for multiple addresses for IPv6. So multiple ports may come along with it.
