emissary is a lightweight and embeddable I2P router

UI

Features

  • Transports:
    • NTCP2
    • SSU2
  • Client protocols:
    • I2CP
    • SAMv3
  • Proxies:
    • HTTP
    • SOCKSv5

Directory layout

  • emissary-core/ - I2P protocol implementation as an asynchronous library
  • emissary-util/ - emissary-core-related utilities, such as runtime implementations and reseeder
  • emissary-cli/ - tokio-based I2P router implementation

Usage

  1. Install from crates.io: cargo install emissary-cli
  2. Build from sources: cargo build --release

Router installs its files under $HOME/.emissary, automatically reseeds over HTTPS on first boot and creates a default configuration. For instructions on how to browse and host eepsites, use torrents, or chat on Irc2P, visit documentation.
