I2PD(1)

NAME
i2pd - Full-featured C++ implementation of I2P client.

SYNOPSIS
i2pd [OPTION1] [OPTION2]...

DESCRIPTION
i2pd is a C++ implementation of the router for the I2P anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.

Any of the configuration options below can be used in the DAEMON_ARGS variable in /etc/default/i2pd.

    Router will be floodfill (disabled by default)

--bandwidth=
    Bandwidth limit: integer in KBps or letter aliases: L (32KBps), O (256), P (2048), X (>9000)

--share=
    Limit of transit traffic from max bandwidth in percents. (default: 100)

--daemon
    Router will go to background after start (disabled by default)

--service
