.SH "NAME"
i2pd \- Full-featured C++ implementation of I2P client.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.B i2pd
[\fIOPTION1\fR] [\fIOPTION2\fR]...
.SH "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.
