i2p is a self-organizing distributed routing layer. It is organic in such a way that it commoditises and anonymises connectivity, storage, and transport.

Installing on Debian/Ubuntu

There are packages available for Debian and Ubuntu in their site here. I decided to download the source and which also required me to install the java-6-openjdk and ant packages before running ant pkg in the unzipped source directory. This ran through the compilation process which took a couple of minutes, and then I downloaded and ran the graphical installer with java -jar i2pinstall_0.9.jar. After installation a browser window opens with a great deal of information about the running service with many statistics and configuration options.

To be able to visit .i2p "eepsites", the browser proxy needs to be configured to use port 4444 (4445 for HTTPS).
