<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 on the left (if not, <a href="#trouble">see below</a>). Once those show
up, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>browse "eepsites"</b> - on I2P there are anonymously hosted websites
- tell your browser to use the <b>HTTP proxy at 127.0.0.1 port 4444</b>, then
browse to an eepsite:<br>
<ul class="links">
<li><a href="http://forum.i2p/" target="_blank">forum.i2p</a>: a secure
and anonymous connection to <a href="http://forum.i2p2.de/" target="_blank">forum.i2p2.de</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.i2p2.i2p/" target="_blank">www.i2p2.i2p</a> and
mirror <a href="http://i2p-projekt.i2p" target="_blank">i2p-projekt.i2p</a>: secure and
anonymous connections to <a href="http://www.i2p2.de/" target="_blank">www.i2p2.de</a></li>
<li><a href="http://eepsites.i2p/" target="_blank">eepsites.i2p</a>: an
anonymously hosted search engine of eepsites</li>
<li><a href="http://ugha.i2p/" target="_blank">ugha.i2p</a>: ugha's eepsite,
a wiki that anyone can edit, and lots of links</li>
<li><a href="http://fproxy.tino.i2p" target="_blank">fproxy.tino.i2p</a>:
Freenet proxy</li>
<li><a href="http://echelon.i2p" target="_blank">echelon.i2p</a>: software
archive (I2PFox, iMule, I2P-Messenger etc) and information about I2P including a beginner's guide.</li>
<li><a href="http://paste.i2p2.i2p" target="_blank">paste.i2p2.i2p</a>: secure and
anonymous paste service.</li>
</ul><br>
There are many more eepsites - just follow the links from the ones you see,
bookmark your favorites, and visit them often!
</li>
<ul>
<li class="tidylist"><b>browse the web</b> - there is currently an HTTP
"outproxy" in I2P hooked up to your own HTTP proxy on port 4444 - simply
set your browser's proxy to use it (as above) and go to any normal URL
- your requests will be bounced through the I2P network.</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>transfer files</b> - there is an integrated <a href="/i2psnark" target="_blank">port</a>
of the <a href="http://www.klomp.org/snark/" target="_blank">Snark</a> <a href="http://www.bittorrent.com/" target="_blank">BitTorrent</a>
client.</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>use anonymous email</b> - postman has created a
mail system compatible with normal mail clients (POP3 / SMTP) that allows
email within I2P as well as mail from and to the normal internet! get
your account at <a href="http://hq.postman.i2p/" target="_blank">hq.postman.i2p</a>. We
bundle <a href="/susimail/susimail" target="_blank">susimail</a>, a web based anonymity-oriented
pop3/smtp client configured to access postman's mail services.</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>serverless e-mail</b> - there's also <a href="http://i2pbote.i2p/" target="_blank">I2P-Bote</a>, a new serverless, end-to-end encrypted e-mail system (with web interface), installable as a plugin.<br></li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>chat anonymously</b> - fire up your own IRC client
and connect to the server at <b>127.0.0.1 port 6668</b>. This points at
one of two anonymously hosted IRC servers, but neither you nor they know
where the other is.</li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>blog anonymously</b> - check out <a href="http://syndie.i2p2.de/" target="_blank">Syndie</a></li>
<li class="tidylist"><b>install plugins</b> - browse the plugins and related info on <a href="http://i2plugins.i2p" target="_blank">i2plugins.i2p</a>.</li>
<li class="tidylist">and lots more…</li>
</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>
