====

[Русская версия](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd_docs_ru/blob/master/README.md)

i2pd (I2P Daemon) is a full-featured C++ implementation of I2P client.  

I2P (Invisible Internet Protocol) is a universal anonymous network layer.  
All communications over I2P are anonymous and end-to-end encrypted, participants
don't reveal their real IP addresses.  

I2P client is a software used for building and using anonymous I2P
networks. Such networks are commonly used for anonymous peer-to-peer
applications (filesharing, cryptocurrencies) and anonymous client-server
applications (websites, instant messengers, chat-servers).  

I2P allows people from all around the world to communicate and share information
without restrictions.
