Anonymous Network I2P 0.7.2 Released

Posted by timothy on from the layers-and-layers dept.

Mathiasdm writes "The Invisible Internet Project, also known as I2P, has seen its 0.7.2 release (download). I2P uses multiple encryption layers, and routing through several other computers to hide both sender and receiver of messages. On top of the network, regular services such as mail, browsing, file sharing and chatting are supported. This release (and all of the releases since 0.7) is at the start of a new development period, in which the I2P developers wish to spread the word about the secure network. This new release includes performance improvements, a first edition of an experimental new desktop interface and security improvements (by limiting the number of tunnels a single peer can participate in)."

    By abbreviating I2P instead of IIP they save a whole zero characters.

      I2P sounds better than Aye Aye Pee

      Especially if you put 'need' between 'I' & '2' [:

    I initially read that as "Anonymous Network 127.0.0.1 Released" and thought "did I miss April Fools this year?"

    No dammit, this is encouraging people to read things. Sure it's just a simple link this time, then sooner or later its TFA, then god forbid, TFM. We can't have that, please stop.

    Don't worry. He did not link the URL. And we're not copying and pasting URL to the address bar anytime soon. (God, that was painful to even write. ^^)
