-- Starting Up
-If you've just started I2P, the number of Active Peers indicated under the Peers section in the side panel on the left should start to grow over the next few minutes.
-When your router is ready, you'll also see a Local Tunnel named Shared Clients listed there, and possibly other clients and servers.
-If not, see the troubleshooting section below.
-These Local Tunnels provide connections to the I2P network, enabling your bittorrent, email, web proxy and other services.
-Your Network Database indicates all known peers on the network.
-Additionally, you can monitor existing Peer Connections, and view existing Tunnels and their status.
-More information is available on the help page.

- Network Integration
-When you start I2P, it may take a few minutes to bootstrap (integrate) your router into the network and find additional peers, so please be patient.
-When I2P starts up, and during normal operation, I2P's tunnel build readiness indicator in the side panel may indicate that I2P is "Rejecting Tunnels"; this is normal behavior.
-Once green circles are indicated next to your Local Tunnels, there is a wide variety of things you can do with I2P, and below we introduce you to some of them.

+Applications And Services
-- Hidden Services and Public Web Browsing
-On I2P you can access hidden service websites ("I2P sites") and other services, and you can host your own services.
-You can also access the normal web anonymously via I2P's built-in web proxy (outproxy).
-Configure your browser to use the HTTP proxy at 127.0.0.1 port 4444, then browse to an I2P Site or website at an http:// or https:// address.
-If you wish to disable or change outproxy access to the non-anonymous internet, remove or modify the outproxy entry for false.i2p under the Outproxies option in the I2P HTTP Proxy Tunnel Editor.
-In the "Sites of Interest" section below, we list a few of the sites hosted on I2P.
-There are also a number of semi-official and unofficial efforts to build browsing tools for I2P,
+ - I2P Browsing Functions
+A properly configured browser is needed for accessing content on the I2P network (I2P sites and services) and accessing clearnet content using the outproxy service specified in the Hidden Services Manager of the I2P router.
+Configure your browser to use the HTTP proxy at 127.0.0.1 port 4444.
+If you wish to disable or change outproxy access, remove or modify the outproxy entry for exit.stormycloud.i2p in the Outproxies option in the I2P HTTP Proxy Tunnel Editor.
+There are semi-official and unofficial efforts to build browsing tools for I2P,
including a preconfigured Firefox Browser profile,
an easy-to-install WebExtension,
or via automatic launchers in privacy-focused Linux distributions like Whonix.
-While these are all interesting projects, please evaluate them to see if they fit within your personal threat
-model before trusting them with your well-being.
+The easiest way to check if I2P network access is functioning properly is to visit /home of the I2P router console and click on the I2P website link in the Community section.
+
+If an I2P site address is not in your router address book, you will be prompted to use a jump service and given the option in the process.
-- Anonymous Email
-Postman's I2P-based mail system can be accessed either via I2P's built-in mail client or with any external mail client.
-Accounts can send and receive mail from the normal internet.
+ - Email
+Postman's I2P-based mail (SusiMail) service can be accessed either via I2P's built-in mail client or with any external mail client.
+It is primarily intended for use with Postman’s email servers inside of the I2P network. It is designed to avoid leaking information about email use to other networks. SusiMail is bridged so it can send and receive email from the internet as well. Occasionally you may see some services like Gmail classifying it as spam, which you can correct in your Internet email service providers settings.

-- Anonymous File Transfer
-I2PSnark is integrated into I2P, providing anonymous, encrypted BitTorrent transfers.
+ - I2PSnark BitTorrent Client
+I2PSnark Snark is an I2P network only BitTorrent client. It never makes a connection to a peer over any other network.

-- Anonymous Chat
+ - IRC/Chat
Start your IRC client (e.g. HexChat) and connect to the server at 127.0.0.1 port 6668.
You do not need to configure a proxy in your IRC client; I2P provides you with a local IRC tunnel (configured in your IRC client as an IRC server or remote host).
Your local I2P IRC tunnel on localhost:6668 will direct you to one of three IRC servers hosted on I2P by Postman, echelon and zl0, but neither you nor they know where the other is, and your communcations are encrypted in transit by I2P to prevent interception.

You may run your own servers over I2P in whatever flavor you choose, or if you're a developer write your own I2P applications.
Both UDP and TCP protocols are supported.
-- Forums and Blogging
-All normal blogging, forum and CMS software will run over I2P, though you're advised to take extra precautions with security when setting up and to keep all associated software (e.g. Php, MySql, Python, Apache) up to date and locked-down!
-Also, there are quite a few community run forums on I2P in various languages; see below for some suggestions.
+- The AddressBook
+This is a locally-defined list of human-readable addresses (ie: i2p-projekt.i2p) and corresponding I2P addresses.(udhdrtrcetjm5sxzskjyr5ztpeszydbh4dpl3pl4utgqqw2v4jna.b32.i2p) It integrates with other applications to allow you to use those human-readable addresses in place of those I2P addresses. It is more similar to a hosts file or a contact list than a network database or a DNS service. There is no recognized global namespace, you decide what any given .i2p domain maps too in the end.
+
+- The QR Code Generator
+Besides the Address Book, I2P addresses can be shared by converting them into QR codes and scanning them with a camera. This is especially useful for Android devices.
+
+- I2P Hidden Services Manager
+This is a general-purpose adapter for forwarding services ( ie SSH ) into I2P and proxying client requests to and from I2P. It provides a variety of “Tunnel Types” which are able to do advance filtering of traffic before it reaches I2P.

-We're happy to accept donations, which go into essential hosting and administrative costs.
-We have cash bounties for aspects of I2P for developers looking for incentives to participate, and we're always looking for more Java coders, translators, promoters and users to help I2P grow.
-The bigger the I2P network, the more everyone benefits, so simply telling all your friends about I2P (and lending a hand with the installation and setup where needed) is helpful.
