Overview

What is I2P?

I2P (the Invisible Internet Project) is a decentralized, peer-to-peer network that uses garlic routing and multiple layers of encryption to protect both the sender and receiver of every communication. Unlike traditional VPNs or Tor, I2P is designed from the ground up as a self-contained network — an overlay internet where privacy is the default.

Volunteers around the world operate the network, routing traffic through thousands of nodes to ensure no single point of failure or surveillance. I2P supports secure web browsing, private email, anonymous file sharing, and encrypted messaging — all without exposing your identity or location.

I2P runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac with multiple implementations available: I2P (the Java reference client), I2P+ (an enhanced fork with performance improvements), and I2PD (a lightweight C++ implementation).

Infrastructure

Our I2P Services

Reseed Servers
Operational

Reseed servers bootstrap new users onto the I2P network. When you first install I2P, your router needs to discover peers — our reseed servers provide that initial set of router contacts so you can join the network.

Outproxy
Operational

Our outproxy bridges the I2P network and the regular internet, letting I2P users access clearnet websites while maintaining anonymity. It processes thousands of requests per second, supports Tor .onion addresses, and routes all DNS through StormyCloud's own privacy-first servers.

I2P Router Fleet
Online

We operate over 100 I2P routers with floodfill enabled, actively participating in the network's distributed database. These routers help other nodes discover peers, resolve destinations, and maintain the health of the network.

IRC Services
Online

Public IRC access bridging I2P and clearnet users. Connect directly to chat with the I2P community — no I2P installation required for clearnet access.
