> RetroShare is open source software for encrypted filesharing, serverless email, instant messaging, online chat, and BBS, based on a friend-to-friend network built on GNU Privacy Guard (GPG).
Make sure that Socks proxy is enabled, it listens at ``127.0.0.1:4447`` by default. If not, look at [i2pd.conf documentation](../user-guide/configuration.md).
Go to webconsole -> [I2P tunnels page](http://127.0.0.1:7070/?page=i2p_tunnels). Look for Sever tunnels and you will see address like \<long random string\>.b32.i2p next to "retroshare".
Now when everything is prepared, you can run RetroShare itself and create a new profile.
Mark it as **hidden** and enter your **.b32.i2p address** and **port** you have specified at tunnels.conf.
