About i2pd
i2pd (I2P Daemon) is a C++ client for I2P, an anonymous network layer where traffic is end-to-end encrypted and participants do not reveal their IP addresses. I2P is used for anonymous peer-to-peer applications and for anonymous websites, instant messengers and chat servers.
The project offers the daemon itself, an Android app, a desktop app and an I2PdBrowser bundle, and it is also published on Flathub. Running a node around the clock helps the network.
