What’s the closest thing we have to a perfect private messanger?

In my mind the perfect private messanger is both completely secure, and also completely anonymous.

All the mainstream messengers can pretty much ensure the contents of the message will not be revealed…but that is not good enough. I want to be able to deploy and establish a completely anonymous AND private channel of communication on a dime without having to jump through extreme operational security hoops.

Does it really exist?

    Can’t believe nobody brought up i2p.

    Messages sent through i2p in theory would be secure and anonymous. With an envelope anology, no way to tell if an envelope stops at a particular house or gets forwarded on, and also they can only see bags of envelopes and not a specific envelope.

      Are there any cool i2p sites or apps? Since it doesn’t have exit nodes I never found a reason to use it.

        I2p has a BitTorrent system. They’d have to block i2p completely to stop it. It will probably be the only way to torrent once VPN bans/liability get brought up.
