<div class="welcome"><h2>Welcome to I2P!</h2></div>
<p>If you've just started I2P, the Active: numbers on the left should start to
grow over the next few minutes and you'll see a "shared clients" local destination
listed at the bottom of the sidepanel on the left (if not, <a href="#trouble">see below</a>). Once green stars are indicated next to your local destinations, there are a range of services you can access including:</p>
<ul class="links">
<li class="tidylist"><b>Anonymous File Transfer</b><br><a href="/i2psnark" target="_blank">I2PSnark</a> is integrated into I2P, providing anonymous, encrypted bittorrent. There is also a port of e-mule to I2P called <a href="http://echelon.i2p/imule">i-mule</a>. [Urgently needs developers!]</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>Anonymous E-mail</b><br>Postman's I2P-based mail system can be accessed either via <a href="/susimail/">I2P's built-in webmail</a> (aka susimail) or using any mail client that supports smtp and pop3. Accounts can send and receive mail from the normal internet. For an account, visit <a href="http://hq.postman.i2p/" target="_blank">hq.postman.i2p</a>. Alternately, <a href="http://i2pbote.i2p/" target="_blank">I2P-Bote</a> is a new serverless, end-to-end encrypted e-mail system (with web interface), installable as a plugin.</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>Anonymous Chat</b><br>Start your IRC client (eg. chatzilla)
and connect to the <a href="irc://127.0.0.1:6668/i2p">server</a> at <code>127.0.0.1 port 6668</code>. This points at
one of two IRC servers hosted on I2P by Postman and Badger, but neither you nor they know
where the other is, and your ISP or government is unable to intercept your conversation!</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>Forums & Blogging</b><br><a href="http://syndie.i2p2.de/" target="_blank">Syndie</a> is a distributed forum and blogging plaform for I2P. [Urgently needs developers!]</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>Plugins for I2P</b><br>Extend the usefulness of I2P by installing plugins… you can browse the plugins and related info on <a href="http://i2plugins.i2p" target="_blank">i2plugins.i2p</a>.
<li class="tidylist"<b>Darknet & Public Web browsing</b><br>I2P makes anonymously hosted websites (aka eepsites) possible, and you can also access the normal web anonymously via I2P. Configure your browser to use the HTTP proxy at <code>127.0.0.1 port 4444</code>, then
browse to an eepsite (anonymous, encrypted webserver run over I2P) or a normal <code>http://</code> address. Some useful resources are listed below:<br>
<ul class="links">
<li class="tidylist"><a href="http://forum.i2p/" target="_blank">forum.i2p</a>: a secure

<li class="tidylist">There are many more eepsites - just follow the links from the ones you see,

</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<h2>Want your own eepsite?</h2>
<p>We've bundled some software to let you run your own eepsite - a <a href="http://jetty.mortbay.org/" target="_blank">Jetty</a>
instance listening on <a href="http://127.0.0.1:7658/" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:7658/</a>.
Simply place your files in the <code>eepsite/docroot/</code> directory (or place
any standard JSP/Servlet <code>.war</code> files under <code>eepsite/webapps</code>,
or standard CGI script under <code>eepsite/cgi-bin</code>) and they'll show
up. After starting up an <a href="/i2ptunnel/" target="_blank">eepsite tunnel</a> pointing at
it, your eepsite will be visible to others. Detailed instructions for starting
your eepsite are on <a href="http://127.0.0.1:7658/" target="_blank">your temporary eepsite
page</a>. </p>
<h2><a name="trouble">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
<p>Be patient - I2P may be slow to start the first time as it searches for peers.
If, after 30 minutes, your Active: connected/recent count has less than 10 connected
peers, you should open I2P's port on your firewall for better connectivity. If
you cannot see any eepsites at all (even <a href="http://www.i2p2.i2p/" target="_blank">www.i2p2.i2p</a>),
be sure your browser proxy is set to 127.0.0.1 port 4444. You may also want
to review the information on the <a href="http://www.i2p2.i2p/" target="_blank">I2P website</a>,
post up messages to the <a href="http://forum.i2p2.de/" target="_blank">I2P discussion forum</a>,
or swing by
<a href="irc://127.0.0.1:6668/i2p-help">#i2p-help</a>, <a href="irc://127.0.0.1:6668/i2p">#i2p</a> or <a href="irc://127.0.0.1:6668/i2p-chat">#i2p-chat</a>
on IRC at <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#i2p">irc.freenode.net</a>,
irc.postman.i2p or irc.freshcoffee.i2p (they're linked together).</p>
