Editing Anonymous P2P (section)

===Public P2P clients===
* Classified-ads - an [[Open-source software|open source]] DHT-based decentralized messaging and voice app. Allows users to not expose any personal details but does not hide network addresses of nodes.
* DarkMX<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://darkmx.app/ |title=DarkMX |access-date=2022-03-29 |archive-date=2022-02-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220210110604/https://darkmx.app/ |url-status=live }}</ref> - a file-sharing client modeled on [[WinMX]]/[[Tixati]] with a built-in implementation of Tor.
* [[CryptoNote#DigitalNote .28XDN.29|DigitalNote XDN]] - an open-source anonymous [[Decentralized computing|decentralized]] encrypted messaging system based on blockchain technology
* [[Freenet]] - a censorship-resistant [[distributed file system]] for anonymous publishing (open source, written in Java)
* [[GNUnet]] - a P2P [[Software framework|framework]], includes anonymous file sharing as its primary application ([[GNU Project]], written in C, alpha status)
* [[Perfect Dark (P2P)|Perfect Dark]] - a Japanese file-sharing client based on a distributed data store.  One can see the IP address of connected nodes, but not what they are up or downloading.  Amoeba<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://archive.org/details/amoeba_5.1.8|title = Amoeba 5.1.8 (The next generation P2P file sharing software)}}</ref> is a similar client/network.
* [[Tribler]] - an [[Open-source software|open source]] [[BitTorrent]] [[Client (computing)|client]]. It can be set to have neighboring nodes act as proxies between one's client and the torrent swarm.  The proxy can see what file is being uploaded, but most nodes in the swarm only see the exit node.
* [[ZeroNet]] - a decentralized [[Internet]]-like [[computer network|network]] of peer-to-peer users. Allows tunneling of HTTP-traffic through Tor.

====I2P clients====
* [[I2P]] - a fully [[Decentralized computing|decentralized]] overlay network for strong anonymity and [[end-to-end encryption]], with many applications (P2P, browsing, distributed anonymous e-mail, [[instant messaging]], [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]], ...) running on top of it (free/open source, platform-independent)
* [[I2P#Email|I2P-Bote]] an anonymous, secure (end-to-end encrypted), serverless mail application with remailer functionality for the I2P network
* [[I2P#Instant messaging|I2P-Messenger]] an anonymous, secure (end-to-end encrypted), serverless instant messenger for the I2P network
* [[I2P#File sharing|I2PSnark]] - an anonymous [[BitTorrent (protocol)|BitTorrent]] client for the I2P network
* [[I2Phex]] - a [[Gnutella]] client which communicates anonymously through I2P
* iMule - an [[aMule]] port running under I2P network
* [[Robert (P2P Software)]] - another anonymous [[BitTorrent (protocol)|BitTorrent]] client for the I2P network
* [[Tahoe-LAFS|I2P-Tahoe-LAFS]] - a censorship-resistant [[distributed file system]] for anonymous publishing and file sharing (open source, written in Python, pre-alpha status)
* [[Vuze]] (formerly Azureus) -  a [[BitTorrent client]] with the option of using [[I2P]] or [[Tor (anonymity network)|Tor]] (initially open source, written in Java)
* [[BiglyBT]] -  a successor to [[Vuze]]. A [[BitTorrent client]] where downloads can be routed through [[I2P]], and searches carried out through [[Tor (anonymity network)|Tor]] (open source, written in Java)
* MuWire<ref>{{Cite web |title=MuWire - Easy Anonymous File Sharing |url=https://muwire.com/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200823094455/https://muwire.com/ |archive-date=2020-08-23 |access-date=2020-08-22 |website=muwire.com}}</ref> - is a filesharing software, with chat rooms. Even if running inside the I2P network, it is not called a 'I2P client' because it has a I2P router embedded, so this makes it a standalone software. The project got shut down on 14 February 2023<ref>{{cite web |title=Shutdown notice and Java I2P warning (#178) · zlatinb/Muwire@8dbd094 |url=https://github.com/zlatinb/muwire/commit/8dbd0944ff07780a73d6895f8455e1da0e60db61 |website=[[GitHub]]}}</ref> but recently it seemingly got unarchived on Github, the developer said that it is possible to import connections from a .txt file for MuWire to work, which is now provided in the releases.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Update README.md with instructions to import connections from a friend · zlatinb/muwire@651c9f3 |url=https://github.com/zlatinb/muwire/commit/651c9f3e944b07adf92fb2ac6d74eaa31423eff5 |access-date=2024-08-23 |website=GitHub |language=en}}</ref>
