I have installed i2pd from the Manjaro package, and everything seems to be working fine, I can access i2p sites without problem. However I can't access my local console and everything that entails because I get the the following error

Proxy error: Outproxy failure

Host 127.0.0.1 is not inside I2P network, but outproxy is not enabled

I have tried enabling the outproxy (or at least uncommenting all the lines that include the word outproxy in the default i2pd.conf, and setting outproxy.enabled = true), it makes no difference

I'm using foxyproxy to enable and disable the proxy as needed. If it's disabled, or if I use firefox's internal proxy settings, I get s standard "firefox can't find this site" page, so it's clearly doing something!

This is probably a really obvious mistake I'm making with a three second fix, but I have hit a wall and don't know what I'm doing!

@ReCursing @i2p You are trying to access 127.0.0.1 through I2P. This doesn't work because I2P can only be used to access I2P sites. I guess this is occurring in your web browser. Use a browser that is not using I2P as a proxy, or if it has a list of addresses to not use the proxy for, you can put 127.0.0.1 (and anything else you want to not go through I2P) on that list

@ReCursing @i2p Sorry that should be: use a browser that is NOT using I2P as a proxy. I edited the toot, but I'm not sure how well that propagates through the Fediverse.
