The I2P network provides strong privacy protections for communication over the Internet. Many activities that would risk your privacy on the public Internet can be conducted anonymously inside I2P.




Hyphanet (former Freenet) is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish "freesites".



Protects internet traffic through a decentralized mixnet, hides metadata and communication patterns, enables anonymous transactions using re-randomizable credentials, and provides zero-knowledge proof access for privacy-focused messaging, blockchain, or application needs.


GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking that does not use any centralized or otherwise trusted services. A first service implemented on top of the networking layer allows anonymous censorship-resistant file-sharing.



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.
A proof-of-concept scalable IPv6 meshnet, featuring end-to-end encryption, a unique spanning tree routing algorithm and aiming to implement novel backpressure routing metrics.

The I2Pd Browser Bundle is a folder consisting of Purple I2P/I2Pd & Portable Firefox.
MUTE File Sharing is a peer-to-peer network that provides easy search-and-download functionality while also protecting your privacy.
