🎯 Using NeXuS Routing

Set your browser/system proxy to:

HTTP Proxy: localhost:8118
SOCKS Proxy: (leave blank or use localhost:1080 for direct Tor)

What Gets Routed Where:

  • *.i2p domains → I2P network
  • Everything else → Tor network
  • 104,983 ads/trackers → BLOCKED

🔥 Quick Troubleshooting

Privoxy not working?

podman logs nexus-privoxy          # Check logs
podman restart nexus-privoxy       # Restart it

Want to see everything?

./nexus-status.py --live           # Live monitor mode

Reticulum not connecting?

podman logs nexus-reticulum        # Check what it's doing
