Ohacan someone eli5 i2p to me?
dmonzelFrom the article that was posted:
The main new feature is support for I2P, the Invisble Internet Project. It uses a fully encrypted privacy network layer to hide user activity and locations. The network does not use servers. Peers contributed “a portion of their resources” to other network particpants.
The maintainers promise that “non one can see where traffic is coming from, where it is going, or what the contents are” when the Invisible Internet Project is active.
If it doesn’t use servers, where is the content stored? Or stuff just disappears when a user whose computer used to serve the files is turned off?
It’s BitTorrent. There are seeders.
I2P has servers to run websites, but they mean I2P itself has no central servers that control it, like Tor does.
