<h2>Freenet</h2>
<i><a href="http://freenetproject.org/">[Freenet]</a></i>
<p>Freenet is a fully distributed, peer to peer anonymous publishing network, offering
secure ways to store data, as well as some approaches attempting to address the loads
of a flash flood. While Freenet is designed as a distributed data store, people have
built applications on top of it to do more generic anonymous communication, such as
static websites and message boards.</p>
<p>Compared to I2P, Freenet offers some substantial benefits - it is a distributed data
store, while I2P is not, allowing people to retrieve the content published by others
even when the publisher is no longer online. In addition, it should be able to
distribute popular data fairly efficiently. I2P itself does not and will not provide
this functionality. On the other hand, there is overlap for users who simply want to
communicate with each other anonymously through websites, message boards, file sharing
programs, etc. There have also been some attempts to develop a distributed data
store to run on top of I2P,
(most recently a port of <a href="http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs">Tahoe-LAFS</a>)
but nothing is yet ready for general use.</p>
<p>However, even ignoring any implementations issues, there are some concerns
about Freenet's algorithms from both a scalability and anonymity perspective, owing
largely to Freenet's heuristic driven routing. The interactions of various techniques
certainly may successfully deter various attacks, and perhaps some aspects of the
routing algorithms will provide the hoped for scalability. Unfortunately, not much
analysis of the algorithms involved has resulted in positive results, but there is still
hope. At the very least, Freenet does provide substantial anonymity against an attacker
who does not have the resources necessary to analyze it further.</p>

{% block title %}Comparing I2P to other projects{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<p>
There are a great many other applications and projects working on anonymous
communication and I2P has been inspired by much of their efforts. This is not
a comprehensive list of anonymity resources - both freehaven's
<a href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/topic.html">Anonymity Bibliography</a>
and GNUnet's <a href="https://www.gnunet.org/links/">related projects</a>
serve that purpose well. That said, a few systems stand out for further
comparison. The following have individual comparison pages:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="{{ site_url('docs/comparison/tor') }}">Tor / Onion Routing</a></li>
<li><a href="{{ site_url('docs/comparison/freenet') }}">Freenet</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
The following are discussed on the <a href="{{ site_url('docs/comparison/othernetworks') }}">other networks page:</a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Morphmix and Tarzan</li>
<li>Mixminion / Mixmaster</li>
<li>JAP</li>
<li>MUTE / AntsP2P</li>
<li>Haystack</li>
</ul>
