We will need to use hidden networks like !i2p@lemmy.world
Maybe this will get i2p out of beta...
wait can you explain what this is/how it works? I've never heard of it before
Sure, i2p or the invisible internet project is a FOSS project which acts as an anonymous network anyone can potentially access, and host on.
It does this by creating end to end encrypted peer to peer tunnels between its users and then sending data through itself via a path between some of the 50,000+ volunteers that make up the project. The path data takes is random so a third party seeing any communication in full is highly unlikely, and even at that, its still encrypted.
The software that implements this is the i2p router, and when using the i2p router you become a node on the network like everyone else using it, allowing pieces of anyone's data to move through your router, just as your data moves through theirs.
The UX/UI is very good for new users and makes it easy to access, or host. Particularly, to my understanding, i2p is also very popular for torrenting due to the nature of how it works (in comparison to similar projects such as tor, there is an entire built in solution for torrenting included with i2p).
thank you! do you have any resources for someone new to using i2p?
Isn’t this similar to tor, and slow af??
Similar in some ways different in others, actually surprisingly fast for what it does though and I find the user experience a lot nicer than tor.
