The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is a decentralized network layer focused on privacy. It is designed to anonymize and secure internet communications, protecting content from eavesdropping and government interference.
Unlike the traditional internet, I2P routes traffic through an overlay network that is run by volunteers. This network uses multiple layers of encryption, ensuring both the sender and receiver remain anonymous.
I2P can be used on various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac. The network supports multiple projects written in different programming languages, enabling users to access the I2P network seamlessly. Notable implementations include I2P, I2P+, and I2PD, each offering unique features and enhancements for improved performance and user experience.
I2P supports a variety of applications, including secure web browsing, private email, anonymous file sharing, and encrypted messaging, all designed to enhance user privacy.
The I2P network aligns with our mission to promote the free exchange of ideas. By supporting I2P, we enable secure and anonymous communication, protecting users from surveillance and censorship. This commitment advances our vision of a free and open internet for everyone, reinforcing its role as a tool for positive change.
