I2P is a free, open-source anonymity network that allows users to send and receive data securely and privately. It uses garlic routing—a variant of onion routing—to encrypt and route communications through a network of volunteer-run nodes, making it difficult to trace the origin or destination of traffic. I2P is used for anonymous messaging, file sharing, and accessing I2P-hosted services (websites and applications on the I2P network). Unlike Tor, which is primarily designed for accessing the surface web anonymously, I2P is optimized for peer-to-peer and intra-network communication, making it popular with users in jurisdictions with internet censorship and those seeking strong privacy guarantees.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of I2P has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. If you are still running an Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version from geti2p.net to get the native build, which will use noticeably less CPU and battery. The download page will automatically serve the appropriate build for your Mac's architecture. Your router configuration and network identity will carry over seamlessly after updating.
