Encryption options not supported

Post by alpha »

"The website [http://hq.postman.i2p/] was not reachable, because it uses encryption options that are not supported by your I2P or Java version."

How do I fix this?

alpha: LibreWolf. Easy and secure by default.

Does LibreWolf use HTTPS-Only mode? »Yes, and you won't need any extension for that. HTTP can still be allowed for certain sites.«

HTTPS only mode is disabled. I think the problem is related to the issue described in the link below.

The linked issue is about SAM, your issue is with i2ptunnel (hidden services manager), but same concept.

For some reason your HTTP client proxy is ElGamal-2048 only, and hq.postman.i2p is ECIES-X25519-only.

Go to hidden services manager, stop your HTTP proxy client tunnel, edit it, change the Encryption type to ECIES-X25519 + ElGamal-2048, save, and restart the tunnel.

Everybody got auto-migrated years ago to enable ECIES-X25519 in their tunnels, either it didn't happen for you for unknown reasons, or you changed it, or you're on an ancient version.

Is the error code displayed in the browser "403 Incompatible Encryption Options" (line 1 in enc-header.ht)?
Isn't the title/heading "Website Unreachable" and the following description misleading, after all the site must be "reachable" in order to determine the incompatibility?

Thanks. Fixed after changing encryption type to ECIES-X25519 by setting leaseSetEncType=4 after shutting down the router. This setting could not be changed through the GUI with the service shut down unless routerconsole.advanced=true.
