    I2P.

    I2P.

    How do more people not know about I2P?!

    You can run your own darknet node today!

    You can build a local meshnet with it, and/or connect it out to as far as you can reach any other I2P node.

    You can use it as a sort of distributed VPN to access the clearnet, and/or acquire yaaaarrgh matey content, and, though it is slow, it is more secure than Tor, and would be faster if more people used it.

      Thanks. I’ve set up one of these and integrated it with a Lora node a while back. Its a neat novelty. But its exceptionally hard to work with at least for me. Hope the project does well though!

        I am just happy you actually know what it is, and even better, have really futzed about with it.

        Yes, it is a bit of hassle to figure out how to set up properly… it would probably be quite helpful if somebody set up an ‘idiots guide to using I2P’, or some kind of ‘input your use case -> heres what you need to do’ type of instructional or autoconfig generator tool…

        But I2P has so, so much potential to act as a secure and versatile sort of underweb, for all things that are not dependant on very low latency and high dl/ul speeds.

        We can more or less just go back to the old, slower paced but highly efficient internet, but much more private and secure, if we want to build it ourselves.
