Comment (by infinity0):
I clarified the SSL SOCKs connection with the i2p devs. The intention
isn't to use PT clients remotely, but rather to avoid giving access to
other non-privileged users on the localhost machine.
So, for example, plaintext authentication to the PT client would work as
well, assuming that non-priv users can't sniff traffic on localhost
interfaces. (Not sure if this clashes with the current use of SOCKS auth
for other things though.)
And to re-state, this is a minor point and is not intended to block them
integrating or working with PTs. But it's something to keep in mind during
this design work.
