Welcome to the Invisible Internet
-- Starting Up…
If you've just started I2P, the number of Active Peers indicated under the Peers Section in the sidepanel on the left should start to grow over the next few minutes and you'll see a Local Destination named Shared Clients listed at the bottom of the lefthand sidepanel
- (if not, see below). The first time you start I2P it may take a few minutes to bootstrap you into the network and find additional peers to optimize your integration, so please be patient. Once green stars are indicated next to your Local Destinations, there is a wide variety of things you can do with I2P, and below we introduce you to some of them.

If you've just started I2P, the number of Active Peers indicated under the Peers Section in the sidepanel on the left should start to grow over the next few minutes and you'll see a Local Destination named Shared Clients listed at the bottom of the lefthand sidepanel and possibly other clients and servers depending on how I2P is configured
+ (if not, see below). These Local Destinations provide connections on different ports (and sometimes protocols) to the I2P network enabling your bittorrent, e-mail, web proxy and other services to function.

+- Network integration
The first time you start I2P it may take a few minutes to bootstrap (integrate) you into the network and find additional peers to optimize your integration, so please be patient. Once green stars are indicated next to your Local Destinations, there is a wide variety of things you can do with I2P, and below we introduce you to some of them.
Services on I2P
-- 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 [Urgently needs developers!], a hookup into the Gnutella network in the shape of I2Phex, and additional facilities including web-based file hosting etc.
- - Anonymous E-mail
Postman's I2P-based mail system can be accessed either via I2P's built-in webmail (aka susimail) or using any mail client that supports smtp and pop3. Accounts can send and receive mail from the normal internet. For an account, visit hq.postman.i2p. Additionally, I2P-Bote is a new serverless, end-to-end encrypted e-mail system (with web interface) developed by HungryHobo, installable as a plugin.

+- I2P Darknet & Public Web browsing
On I2P you can host anonymous websites (aka eepsites) and other services (eg. ssh over I2p, your own IRC server etc), and you can also access the normal web anonymously via I2P. Configure your browser to use the HTTP proxy I2P provides at 127.0.0.1 port 4444
, then browse to an eepsite or a normal http://
address. Below we list some of the sites hosted on I2P.

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, and additional facilities including browser-based file hosting etc.
- Anonymous Chat
Start your IRC client (eg. chatzilla)
- and connect to the server at 127.0.0.1 port 6668
. Your local I2P IRC proxy 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, #i2p-help, #i2p-chat and #i2p-dev are just a few of the available channels you may wish to /join. There's also a I2P based instant messenger for unmonitorable, uncensorable, anonymous chat.
- - Forums & Blogging
Syndie is a distributed forum and blogging platform for I2P [Urgently 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 keep all associated software (eg. Php, MySql, Python, Apache etc) up to date and locked down!
- - Plugins for I2P
Extend the usefulness of I2P by installing plugins… blogging, chatting, filesharing and other plugins have already been written or ported and await your installation! Browse the plugins and related info at i2plugins.i2p. If you're a developer, a complete language agnostic framework for writing your own plugins is provided with documentation; I2P plugins can be coded in any language.
