+# i2pd Anonymous Network
+
+## Introduction
+
+[I2P](https://geti2p.net/en/) is an anonymous overlay network and competitor to the more-popular Tor network with a focus on hidden websites called eepsites. [`i2pd`](https://i2pd.website/) (I2P Daemon) is a lightweight C++ implementation of the I2P protocol.
+
+## Prerequisites and assumptions
+
+The following are minimum requirements for using this procedure:
+
+- A public IPv4 or IPv6 address, whether directly on the server, with port forwarding, or uPNP/NAT-PMP
+
+## Installing `i2pd`
+
+To install `i2pd`, you need to first install the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) and `i2pd` copr (Cool Other Package Repo) repositories:
+
+```bash
+curl -s https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/supervillain/i2pd/repo/epel-9/supervillain-i2pd-epel-9.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/i2pd-epel-9.repo
+dnf install -y epel-release
+```
+
+Then install `i2pd`:
+
+```bash
+dnf install -y i2pd
+```
+
+## (Optional) Configuring `i2pd`
+
+With the packages installed, you can configure `i2pd` if desired. The author uses `vim` for this, but if you prefer `nano` or something else, go ahead and substitute that in:
+
+```bash
+vim /etc/i2pd/i2pd.conf
+```
+
+The default `i2pd.conf` file is pretty descriptive, but can get long if you just want a basic configuration, you can leave as-is.
+
+However, if you want to enable IPv6 and uPNP and listen the HTTP proxy to port `12345`, a configuration allowing this is as follows:
+
+```bash
+ipv6 = true
+[httpproxy]
+port = 12345
+[upnp]
+enabled = true
+```
+
+If you wish to set other options, the configuration file is self-explanatory on all the possible options.
+
+## Enabling `i2pd`
+
+We can now enable `i2pd`
+
+```bash
+systemctl enable --now i2pd
+```
+
+## Visiting I2P eepsites
+
+In this example, we are using Firefox on Rocky Linux. If you are not using Firefox, refer to the documentation of your application to set an HTTP proxy.
+
+Open up Firefox, click the hamburger menu icon, and then go to **Settings**:
+
+![Firefox menu dropdown](../images/i2p_proxy_ff_1.png)
+
+Scroll to the **Network Settings** and subsequently press **Settings*
+
+![Firefox Network Settings section](../images/i2p_proxy_ff_2.png)
+
+Then select **Manual proxy connection**, enter in `localhost` and `4444` (or the port you selected), check **Also use this proxy for HTTPS** and select **OK**.
+
+![Firefox Connection Settings dialog](../images/i2p_proxy_ff_3.png)
+
+Now, you are able to browse I2P eepsites. As an example, navigate to `http://planet.i2p` (Note: the `http://` is important to prevent Firefox from defaulting to a serch engine):

+
+## Conclusion
+
+With so many internet users concerned about online privacy, I2P is ony way to access hidden websites securely. `i2pd` is lightweight software which makes browsing I2P websites possible, alongside sharing your connection as an relay.
