Different encryption settings for I2P and Clearnet

by Guest on 2025/11/07 07:52:52 AM

So, I just now read the post = https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/23462

The things mentioned here are absolutely true.

Tixati also does not provide this kind of settings.

The workaround is running multiple tixati instances. But I would love to run only 1 Tixati instance, if possible please check if this can be implemented.

Copy pasting the feature request here if link doesn't work or is removed =

Suggestion
I2P peers are unlikely to work since i2psnark (a prevalent i2p only torrenting client) does not supporting encryption due to I2P already being encrypted so the torrents just stall without any error (in the execution log).

Use case
I want to "Require encryption" for clearnet peers, but I have to set Preferences => BitTorrent => Encryption mode to "Allow encryption" if I want torrent over i2p as well.

forum post also mentioning this: https://i2pforum.net/viewtopic.php?p=3640&sid=4fa4120baee3085f33833988f4179ce8#p3640
It recommends making a separate profile for i2p but I am way too lazy for that.

Tixati does not use encryption with any I2P peers since release 3.34. You can notice open padlock icon in the peer table. Nor does qBittorrent, or any other client that expect to be interoperable with I2PSnark peers. There is no problem to discuss.

Tixati DOES provide exactly what you are asking for.

If you want to require encryption for clearnet peers, then change the setting in Settings > Network > Connections to require encrypted connections. That setting only applies to clearnet peers. I2P peers are not affected by that setting, they never use connection encryption because that is provided on the I2P network itself.

Brother you are absolutely right. SOLVED
