One is the Invisible Internet Project (I2P), a fully encrypted private network layer. It uses a distributed [network database](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/how/network-database) and encrypted unidirectional tunnels between peers. The biggest difference between Tor and i2P is that Tor is fundamentally a proxy network that offers internet services in a private form, while i2p is fundamentally a sequestered network that offers i2p services only to the i2p network, creating a "network within a network". However, you might just want it as an alternative, so that you're not dependent solely on Tor. +There are alternatives to Tor.

However, this chapter explains how to manually install it. ## Objectives for This Chapter After working through this chapter, a developer will be able to: - * Run Bitcoin Core as an i2p (Invisible Internet Project) service + * Run Bitcoin Core as an I2P (Invisible Internet Project) service Supporting objectives include the ability to: - * Understand the i2p Network - * Learn the difference between Tor and i2p + * Understand the I2P Network + * Learn the difference between Tor and I2P ## Table of Contents
