Orchid and I2P

There's a fork of Orchid for I2P as a plugin. It will allow your I2P browser to browse the clearnet by using the network Tor through I2P network.

As in: I2P browser <-> I2P Router <-> Orchid plugin <-> I2P network <-> Tor network.

By 2015, the Orchid plugin made by zzz is broken.

In 2016, thebland worked to repair the plugin[2].

As of 2023, both plugin versions are noted as "Obsolete, supports v2 onion only" on Plugins page, and the actual Orchid's last commit is from 2016.
