I2P

The Invisible Internet Project

About this app

I2P protects your communication from dragnet surveillance and monitoring by third parties such as ISPs. This is similar to proxy apps like Tor.

But I2P is not a proxy - it is an ecosystem.

I2P is a separate anonymizing network inside the Internet. It offers a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.

I2P is for users!

• Browse I2P eepsites: The browser configuration guide inside the I2P app will help you to start browsing websites inside I2P.

• Encrypt your emails: Bote is a high-latency encrypted email system that runs inside I2P. Get Bote: http://goo.gl/inrAHI

I2P is for developers!

• Show your users that you care about their privacy: Websites can easily be made accessible inside I2P. For more information, see the I2PTunnel documentation: https://geti2p.net/en/docs/api/i2ptunnel

• Protect your clients: Whether you are a large business or a single Android app developer, I2P can help you to secure your communications. For help with using I2P in your application, see the Application Development Guide: https://geti2p.net/en/get-involved/develop/applications

Ratings and reviews

Works (just) configured Firefox proxy to localhost:4444. Accessed websites via the proxy. Very, very slow. Expectedly I suppose, due to the complexity of the routing. Does not start on boot, does not continue to run in background. Next to useless. Stick to Tor browser if I were you. Edit:- I tried the 'Developer Contact' option. Even that bounced.

Good concept, but the setup is a complicated mess, there should have been an official I2P browser a long time ago, instead we still get a help page on how to jankily set up I2P on our own browser, one method of which completely broke my browser's functionality, this is not only most likely insecure but also very unstable and unreliable to just tell your users to configure it on their own browsers, it should be a very simple process, but for some reason it's not, the devs need to understand this

first of all, it drained my battery to use it for the time i did. secondly, i was eventually connected to a tunnel (green), but i had no connection to those i2p sites available or the internet after following the firefox guide to a T. third, this app does not tunnel everything through i2p, so set up is needed for each app, if you are lucky enough they even support this, or get a connection. not sure what the advantage to this is, or why people like it if it just times out. for everything. uninstd

What's new

This release fixes an issue within Ubuntu Lunar and Debian Sid where the router console was inaccessible using an updated version of the jakarta package. Docker packages were not reading arguments correctly, resulting in inaccessible configuration files. This issue has also been resolved. The docker container is now also compatible with Podman.
This release syncs translations with transifex and updates the GeoIP database.
