# sands-client (a fork of I2P Chat AKA I2P Qt Messenger)
|
|
|
|
## Screenshots
|
|
|
|
TBD add
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* The communication goes «directly over i2p» from client to client, no server is required.`[1]` Note: The connections to the so-called «seedless» servers were removed from this project.
|
|
|
|
## How to run it
|
|
|
|
You need to enable SAM in your router on <a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients">java i2p configclients page</a> or i2pd's `[sam]` config section at `i2pd.conf` to make I2P Chat work over your I2P router.
|
|
|
|
TBD make more user-friendly and include i2pd directly into the codebase of sands-client for better UX.
