I2P

Also known as Invisible Internet Project, IIP, Invisible IRC Project

The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is an anonymous network layer (implemented as a mix network) that allows for censorship-resistant, peer-to-peer communication. Anonymous connections are achieved by encrypting the user's traffic (by using end-to-end encryption), and sending it through a volunteer-run network of roughly 55,000 computers distributed around the world. Given the high number of possible paths the traffic can transit, a third party watching a full connection is unlikely. The software that implements this layer is called an "I2P router", and a computer running I2P is called an "I2

This is the source code for the reference Java implementation of I2P. See INSTALL.txt or the installation instructions for your system: Windows macOS Linux Android Prerequisites Java SDK (preferably Oracle or OpenJDK) 17 or higher Non-linux operating systems and JVMs: See Certain subsystems for embedded (core, router, mstreaming, streaming, i2ptunnel) require only Java 6 Apache Ant 1.9.8 or higher The xgettext, msgfmt, and msgmerge tools installed from the GNU gettext package Build environment must use a UTF-8 locale. This will download dependencies over the clearnet by default, including Gradle itself. To download through a SOCKS proxy (e.g. Tor), add the following lines to your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties : Development builds Automatic CI builds are available at the continuous integration page.
