If you have ever heard of or used the <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">Tor project</a>, it is similar, but the I2P network is more secure and faster.</p> 29 30 <h2>What is the point of using I2P?</h2> 31 <p>This is a good question. Why should you or I even use I2P? The answer is simple: it offers many interesting things, for example:</p> 32 <ul> 33 <li>Over 7,000 unique websites to visit</li> 34 <li>Free fully private Email address</li> 35 <li>Private IRCs</li> 36 <li>Fully decentralization</li> 37 <li>Advanced userbase</li> 38 <li>Faster than the <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">Tor</a> and <a href="https://staging.freenetproject.org/">freenet</a></li> 39 </ul> 40 <p>Overall, I2P offers a lot to you and has an amazing community of friendly people.</p><hr> 41 <h1>My experience</h1> 42 <h2>Hosting on home server</h2> 43 <p>I installed <a href="https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd">i2pd</a> onto my home server. I chose i2pd because it is written in C, making it faster than the normal I2P package.</p> 44 45 <p>After installing and starting up i2pd with Systemd, I had to forward the ports on my local network so that I could use I2P. This can be done by running a simple command:</p> 46 <div class="code-box"> 47 <p>ssh -fTNL 4444:127.0.0.1:4444 -L 7070:127.0.0.1:7070 <username></p> 48 </div> 49 50 <p>I would strongly suggest using <a href="https://librewolf.net/">Librewolf</a> to look through the I2P network.</p><hr> 51 <p>Here are a few websites I do like:</p> 52 <ul> 53 <li>http://notbob.i2p/</li> 54 <li>http://ramble.i2p/</li> 55 </ul> 56 <p>Most of the websites on I2P are personal sites, and I highly suggest using NotBob to look for them because some of them are really cool.</p><hr> 57 <h2>Last thoughts</h2> 58 <p>Most of the websites on I2P are personal sites. I highly suggest using NotBob to look for them because some of them are really cool.</p> 59 60 <center><hr> 61 <pre><a href="../index.html">Back 🚪</a>| <a href="tags/Tech.html">More Tech 🧑💻</a> </pre> 62 </center> 63 64 </main> 65 </body> 66 </html> 67
