## What is I2P?
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.

i2pd is an implemmentation of the I2P protocol in C++.
i2pd is used to facilitate anonymous peer-to-peer applications
(filesharing, cryptocurrencies) and anonymous client-server applications
(websites, instant messengers, chat-servers), all using I2P.
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.

By design, in the I2P network, your connection gets encrypted through a chain of 6
random computers in the way to it's final destination. If one of those computers
is shut down, or experiences connectivity problems, it can take some time for your
I2P router to discover and fix that issue.

I2P and Tor have some similarities, but they are completely different technologies.
Tor is designed to act as an anonymous proxy for the regular Internet, and I2P is
a network layer wherein all network participants adhere to a protocol that protects
the anonymity and privacy of all communications between users.
Tor is designed to act as an anonymous proxy for the regular Internet, and I2P
is specifically designed to make a virtual anonymous network for hidden services
and p2p applications.
Tor Project was started by the US military and receives most of its funds
from the government, while I2P was started by a community of independent civilians.
Tor is highly centralized by design, while I2P is less so.
Tor is highly centralized by design, while I2P is designed to be decentralized and distributed.
