Services on I2P
-- Invisible Internet & Public Web Browsing
On I2P you can access anonymous websites (aka eepsites) and other services (e.g. ssh over I2p, your own IRC/Jabber server etc.) in addition to being able to host your own services, and you can also access the normal web anonymously via I2P's built-in web proxy. Configure your browser to use the HTTP proxy at 127.0.0.1 port 4444, then browse to an eepsite or a normal, unencrypted http:// address. There's I2PFox, a custom build

- 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.

I2P may be slow to start the first time, as it searches for peers. The longer your I2P router is running, the better it will perform, so try and keep your router on as long as you can, 24/7 if possible!

I2P may be slow to integrate into network the first time you run it as it bootstraps into the network and learns of additional peers.

- Check your Configuration & Bandwidth Allocation
I2P functions best when you can accurately reflect the speed of your network connection in the bandwidth configuration section. By default I2P is configured with some fairly conservative values that will not suit many use cases, so please take time to review these settings and correct where necessary. The more bandwidth you allocate, specifically upstream bandwidth, the more you will benefit from the network.
