I2P as proxy for popular video platforms?

Post by lgillis »

An old wisdom says, what is (publicly) offered must also work.

Incogtube. A YouTube Proxy:
http://tube.i2p/search?q=Garsy ("It looks like you found a bug in Invidious!")

ProxiTok. An alternative open source frontend for TikTok:
http://pt.ls.i2p/redirect/search?term=Garsy&type=url ("There was an error processing your request!")

Invidious. A instance of Invidious:
http://invidious.qwik.i2p/search?q=Garsy (Works, and now for the video:)
http://invidious.qwik.i2p/watch?v=n152tgh2yMk (1. JavaScript is required. 2. "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.")

But it's software, and you always hear about the convention that says the software is ok, but the users are too stupid to press the right button or their hardware is broken, or both.

How does it work? Maybe that's why:

Request: rr6---sn-uxgg5-njay.googlevideo.com:443/
Request: rr2---sn-nja7snle.googlevideo.com:443/

A list of currently public video proxies has notbob.i2p.

If you find an invidious instance on I2P, you can force the video to be proxied by the server with

Code: Select all

?&local=true

Addition to tube.i2p. The bugs from back then have apparently been fixed. The search was changed to query instead of q:

http://tube.i2p/search?query=Garsy

I also don't see any leaks that lead to the Internet. However, I don't use JavaScript either.

Under "Banter and Chitchat" there are a handful of links to music via tube.i2p. ;-)

IncogTube (tube.i2p) is broken. Just forget that I recommended it. (For weeks now, almost every video I have selected has been accompanied by an error message saying that no videos with a supported format and MIME type were found.)

I find it strange that I am advocating for sites here that I would completely ignore on the Internet. I'll never do it again.
