Just like that another year in the books for StormyCloud Inc. This year has felt like it has been going on forever, so much so that remembering everything that happened has been difficult. So let us start out with some accomplishments that we are proud of.

• Strengthened our I2P Outproxy infrastructure to withstand early 2024’s network-wide DDoS attacks, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery.

• Mitigated a massive DDoS attack targeting our I2P Outproxy, absorbing over 100 million malicious requests while maintaining operational continuity, albeit with minor performance degradation.

• Migrated our infrastructure from Austin to a more robust datacenter in Houston, unlocking increased rack space and a more resilient network blend to support our growth and service reliability.

• Launched a newly redesigned website, significantly enhancing user experience with lightning-fast load times and expanded informational resources.

• We added both TOR and I2P support for our XMR node.

• We added support DoH and DNS over TLS on our public DNS Server.

• We created graphs for some of our popular services which give an insight on usage.

Not everything went our way this year, we did have a bunch of bumps in the road, but our goal is to improve every year and keep providing services for all privacy-based communities. Here are some of our 2025 goals.

• Prioritizing donor engagement and outreach efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of our organization through community support.

• Build out a proper monitoring infrastructure that not only monitors servers, but can also monitor applications, network status, etc. This will allow us to better respond when there are issues.

• Move to a shared storage solution which will allow us to implement high availability on some of our services.

• Initiated plans to expand our team with a part-time system administrator, enabling us to focus on strategic initiatives while maintaining operational excellence.

• Finalizing preparations for the beta launch of our I2P Web Hosting, building on established infrastructure to bring this innovative service to market.

• Add more features to www.checki2p.com.

• Remained committed to supporting the I2P community through ongoing contributions and initiatives, fostering a spirit of collaboration and mutual growth
