+Configuring your I2P Router
+{%- endtrans %}
+---------------------------
+
+{% trans -%}
+In order to set up an I2P Router to provide anonymous connectivity to bitcoin,
+the SAM API needs to be enabled. In Java I2P, you should go to `http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients
+<http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients>`_. and start the SAM Application Bridge
+with the "Start" button. You may also want to enable the SAM Application Bridge
+by default by checking the "Run at Startup" box and clicking "Save Client
+Configuration."
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+On i2pd, the SAM API is normally enabled by default, but if it isn't, you should
+set::
+
+ sam.enabled=true
+
+in your i2pd.conf file.

+Configuring your Bitcoin Node for Anonymity and Connectivity
+{%- endtrans %}
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+{% trans -%}
+Getting Bitcoin itself launched in an anonyous mode still requires editing some
+configuration files in the Bitcoin Data Directory, which is %APPDATA%\Bitcoin on
+Windows, ~/.bitcoin on Linux, and ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ on Mac
+OSX. It also requires at least version 22.0.0 for I2P support to be present.
+After following the following instructions, you should have a private Bitcoin
+node which uses I2P for I2P connections, and Tor for .onion and clearnet
+connections, so that all your connections are anonymized. For convenience,
+Windows users should open their Bitcoin Data Directory by opening the start menu
+and searching for "Run." Inside the run prompt, type "%APPDATA%\Bitcoin" and
+press enter.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+In that directory create a file called "i2p.conf." On Windows, you should make
+sure that you've add quotes around the file when you save it, in order to
+prevent Windows from adding a default file extension to the file. The file
+should contain the following I2P-Related Bitcoin configuration options::
+
+ i2psam=127.0.0.1:7656
+ i2pacceptincoming=true
+ onlynet=i2p
+
+Next, you should create another file called "tor.conf." The file should contain
+the following Tor related configuration options::
+
+ proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
+ onion=127.0.0.1:9050
+ onlynet=tor
+
+Finally, you'll need to "Include" these configuration options in your Bitcoin
+configuration file, called "bitcoin.conf" in the Data Directory. Add these two
+lines to your bitcoin.conf file::
+
+ includeconf=i2p.conf
+ includeconf=tor.conf
+
+Now your Bitcoin node is configured to only use anonymous connections. In order
+to enable direct connections to remote nodes, remove the lines beginning in::
+
+ onlynet=
+
+You can do this if you do not require your Bitcoin node to be anonymous, and
+it helps anonymous users connect to the rest of the Bitcoin network.
