Anonymous - Press Release 4/26/2011 - OPERATION DARKNET #OpDarknet
For Immediate Dissemination

In contradiction to the best practices of Anonymous, most VPN's, Tor, and recently I2P users have been prevented from accessing certain IRC services that have previously been associated with Anonymous. The only option left is to connect to these US Based (and otherwise FBI/CIA/DHS friendly/controlled) based IRC servers using your own internet connection with little in the way of privacy.

I2P, or the Invisible Internet Project, is a secure, encrypted, tunnel-based darknet used to maintain anonymity while hosting or accessing content within the darknet, or via proxies to external services on the "normal" net. Created anonymously for the sake of the anonymity of others, this is a great alternative to a centralized system.

I2P is an internet within the internet, unmonitorable and uncensorable from outside. By default, anonymous mail, anonymous filesharing (BitTorrent, Gnutella, i-Mule etc), anonymous chat (IRC/Jabber/I2PMessenger) and anonymous web serving are provided with the installation. Treat I2P like your own private internet, free from interference and oversight. Think privacy, not paranoia, empowerment, not suppression. We have users around the world using I2P to evade censorship, not least in Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, China, and other locations where state level interference is routine.

Moreover, with I2P, you can create your own IRC channels and Ops--there is no censorship, and no authority. With the ability to create your own channels and attract anons to your ideas, you will once again, see the beloved agency return to you.

Now is the time.

#anoni2p, #opcannabis, #opdarknet, #anonportal and #i2phelp are some channels you may like to visit once you are.

After installation:

- If you're on Windows, and you're not running the portable installation (http://portable-i2p.blogspot.com), you'll want to install the I2P service for best results, and also disable launching the browser at startup, both configurable at http://127.0.0.1:7657/configservice

Then you'll want to head straight for the router console homepage and TAKE TIME to read through the introductory paragraphs. Reading and understanding what's written there will save you time and potential embarassment later, so do it! http://127.0.0.1:7657

CHAT: IRC

Using your favorite IRC Client connect to localhost 6668

for mIRC this would be:
