Services on I2P

On I2P you can access anonymous websites (aka eepsites) and other services (e.g. ssh over I2p, IRC, Jabber etc.) in addition to being able to host your own services. You can also access the normal web anonymously via I2P's built-in web proxy (aka outproxy). Configure your browser to use the HTTP proxy at 127.0.0.1 port 4444

- Anonymous File Transfer
I2PSnark is integrated into I2P, providing anonymous, encrypted BitTorrent transfers. In addition, Sponge develops a bittorrent client called Robert written in Python. There is also a port of eMule to I2P called iMule [Needs developers!], an anonymous, secure implementation of a Gnutella network, accessible using I2Phex [maintained by Complication, seeking new developers!], and additional facilities including browser-based file hosting etc.
- Anonymous Chat
Start your IRC client (e.g. Chatzilla, Pidgin, XChat)
- and connect to the server at 127.0.0.1 port 6668
. You do not need to configure a proxy in your IRC client; I2P provides you with a local IRC tunnel (configured in your IRC client as an IRC server or remote host). Your local I2P IRC tunnel on localhost:6668
will direct you to one of two IRC servers hosted on I2P by Postman and Badger, but neither you nor they know where the other is, and your mom, ISP or government is unable to intercept your conversation! Once you're there, #i2p-help
,#i2p
,#i2p-chat
and #i2p-dev
are just a few of the available channels you may wish to /join. There's also an I2P-based Instant Messenger for unmonitorable and uncensorable anonymous chat, as well as alternative IRC servers, Jabber servers, website-based chat etc. And of course you're entirely free to run your own servers over I2P in whatever flavor you choose (both udp and tcp are provisioned in I2P).
- - Forums & Blogging
Syndie is a distributed forum and blogging platform for I2P [Needs developers!]. There's also an I2P plugin port of the Java-based pebble blogging platform ported to I2P by zzz, available on i2plugins.i2p. And, of course, all normal blogging, forum and cms software will run over I2P, though you're advised to take extra precautions with security when setting up and to keep all associated software (e.g. Php, MySql, Python, Apache) up to date and locked-down! Also, there are quite a few forums running on I2P in various languages; see below for some suggestions.
