when you connect to somebody. Leaving this checked helps
connecting when you have few friends. It also helps if you're
behind a firewall or a VPN.

Tor Socks Proxy default: 127.0.0.1:9050. Set in torrc config and update here.
I2P Socks Proxy: see http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnelmgr for setting up a client tunnel:
Tunnel Wizard -> Client Tunnel -> SOCKS 4/4a/5 -> enter a name -> leave 'Outproxies' empty -> enter port (memorize!) [you may also want to set the reachability to 127.0.0.1] -> Next -> check 'Auto Start' -> finish!
Now enter the address (e.g. 127.0.0.1) and the port you've picked before for the I2P Proxy.
You can connect to Hidden Nodes, even if you are running a standard Node, so why not setup Tor and/or I2P?

To Receive Connections, you must first setup a Tor/I2P Hidden Service.
For Tor: See torrc and documentation for HOWTO details.
For I2P: See http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnelmgr for setting up a server tunnel:
Tunnel Wizard -> Server Tunnel -> Standard -> enter a name -> enter the address and port your RS is using (see Local Address above) -> check 'Auto Start' -> finish!
Once this is done, paste the Onion/I2P (Base32) Address in the box above.
This is your external address on the Tor/I2P network.
Finally make sure that the Ports match the configuration.
If you have issues connecting over Tor check the Tor logs too.

<p>By activating relays, you allow your Retroshare node to act as a bridge between Retroshare users who cannot connect directly, e.g. because they're firewalled.</p>
<p>You may choose to act as a relay by checking <i>enable relay connections</i>, or simply benefit from other peers acting as relay, by checking <i>use relay servers</i>. For the former, you may specify the bandwidth allocated when acting as a relay for friends of you, for friends of your friends, or anyone in the Retroshare network.</p>
<p>In any case, a Retroshare node acting as a relay cannot see the relayed traffic, since it is encrypted and authenticated by the two relayed nodes.</p>
