I2P: The Censorship Resistant Anonymous P2P Network is 20 Years Old

In February of 2002, James first presented his anonymous communications project to a broader audience at CodeCon in San Francisco. “There are a lot of studies and readings on anonymous IRC, it has been long-awaited. So we are starting to do something with it,” he told the cypherpunk audience, before showcasing an early version of the software.
After a few months, jrandom assumed the role of project leader and renamed it the Invisible Internet Project or “I2P”. This rebranding came with a detailed philosophy document, which set out the future path and goals.
“InvisibleNet has formed the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) to support the efforts of those trying to build a more free society by offering them an uncensorable, anonymous, and secure communication system,” the document starts.
