+If you've just started I2P, the number of <i>Active Peers</i> indicated under the <i>Peers</i> section in the side panel on the left should start to grow over the next few minutes and you'll also see a <i>Local Destination</i> named <i>Shared Clients</i> listed there, and possibly other clients and servers depending on how I2P is configured (if not, see the troubleshooting section <a href="#trouble">below</a>). These <i>Local Destinations</i> provide connections on different ports (and sometimes protocols) to the I2P network, enabling your bittorrent, e-mail, web proxy and other services to function. Your <a href="/netdb">Network Database</a> indicates all known peers on the network.

+<li><b>Network integration</b><br>
+The first time you start I2P it may take a few minutes to bootstrap (integrate) you into the network and find additional peers to optimize your integration, so please be patient. When I2P starts up, and during normal operation, I2P's tunnel build readiness indicator (immediately above the <i>Local Destinations</i> section in the sidepanel) may tell you that I2P is "Rejecting Tunnels"; this is normal behavior and should be of no cause for concern! Once green stars are indicated next to your <i>Local Destinations</i>, there is a wide variety of things you can do with I2P, and below we introduce you to some of them.</li>

+On I2P you can access hidden service websites ("eepsites") and other services (e.g. ssh over I2P, IRC, Jabber etc.) in addition to being able to host your own services.

 <li><b>Anonymous Chat</b><br>
+Start your IRC client (e.g. Chatzilla, Pidgin, XChat) and connect to the <a href="irc://127.0.0.1:6668/i2p">server</a> at <code>127.0.0.1 port 6668</code>. You do not need to configure a proxy in your IRC client; I2P provides you with a local IRC tunnel (configured in your IRC client as an IRC server or remote host). Your local I2P IRC tunnel on <code>localhost:6668</code> will direct you to one of two IRC servers hosted on I2P by Postman and Badger, but neither you nor they know where the other is, and your mom, ISP or government is unable to intercept your conversation! Once you're there, <code>#i2p-chat</code> and <code>#i2p-dev</code> are just a few of the available channels you may wish to /join. There's also an I2P-based <a href="http://echelon.i2p/qti2pmessenger/">Instant Messenger</a> for unmonitorable and uncensorable anonymous chat, as well as alternative IRC servers, Jabber servers, website-based chat, and more.

 <li><b>Port Forwarding</b><br>
+Open <a href="/confignet">I2P's port</a> on your modem, router and/or firewall(s) for better connectivity (ideally both UDP and TCP). More information on how to go about port forwarding can be found at <a href="http://portforward.com/" target="_blank">portforward.com</a>, in addition to our forums and IRC channels listed below. Note that I2P does not support connecting to the internet via an http or socks proxy [patches welcome!], though you can connect to proxies via I2P itself once connected to the network.</li>

+I2P is developed and maintained mostly through unfunded, voluntary participation by community members. We're happy to accept <a href="http://i2p-projekt.i2p/donate.html" target="_blank">donations</a>, which go into essential hosting and administrative costs. We have <a href="http://i2p-projekt.i2p/bounties.html" target="_blank">cash bounties</a> for aspects of I2P for developers looking for incentives to participate, and we're always looking for more <a href="http://i2p-projekt.i2p/newdevelopers.html" target="_blank">Java coders</a>, <a href="http://i2p-projekt.i2p/newtranslators.html" target="_blank">translators</a>, promoters and users to help I2P grow. The bigger the I2P network, the more everyone benefits, so simply telling all your friends about I2P (and lending a hand with the installation and setup where needed) is a big help.
