# Chapter 15: Using i2p
|
|
|
|
The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is 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 your and your peers.
|
|
|
|
Basic differences between Tor and i2p:
|
|
|

| Network Database | Trusted [Directory Servers](https://blog.torproject.org/possible-upcoming-attempts-disable-tor-network) | [Distributed network database](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/how/network-database) |

| Relay | **Two-way** encrypted connections between each Relay | **One-way** connections between every server in its tunnels |
