Welcome to I2P!

If you've just started I2P, the Active: numbers on the left should start to grow over the next few minutes and you'll see a "shared clients" local destination listed on the left (if not, see below). Once those show up, you can:

• browse "eepsites" - on I2P there are anonymously hosted websites - tell your browser to use the HTTP proxy at localhost port 4444, then browse to an eepsite:
  
  • inproxy.tino.i2p and perv.i2p: sites tracking active eepsites
  • forum.i2p: a secure and anonymous connection to forum.i2p2.de
  • www.i2p2.i2p and mirror i2p-projekt.i2p: secure and anonymous connections to www.i2p2.de
  • eepsites.i2p: an anonymously hosted search engine of eepsites
  • ugha.i2p: ugha's eepsite, a wiki that anyone can edit, and lots of links
  • fproxy.tino.i2p: Freenet proxy
  • echelon.i2p: software archive and information for I2P
  There are many more eepsites - just follow the links from the ones you see, bookmark your favorites, and visit them often!

• browse the web - there is currently an HTTP "outproxy" in I2P hooked up to your own HTTP proxy on port 4444 - simply set your browser's proxy to use it (as above) and go to any normal URL - your requests will be bounced through the I2P network.
• transfer files - there is an integrated port of the Snark BitTorrent client.
• use anonymous email - postman has created a mail system compatible with normal mail clients (POP3 / SMTP) that allows email within I2P as well as mail from and to the normal internet! get your account at hq.postman.i2p. We bundle susimail, a web based anonymity-oriented pop3/smtp client configured to access postman's mail services.
• chat anonymously - fire up your own IRC client and connect to the server at localhHTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: public, max-age=21600, no-transform Content-Length: 5530 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="readme.html"; filename*=UTF-8''readme.html Etag: "3caf086ed9632baade5aef0922bb9ba0b5b23afa" X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Connection: close Last-Modified: Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:15:35 GMT X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:23:12 GMT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Content-Disposition X-Cache-Status: HIT X-Cache-Age: 0
