It is not, and was never, a goal of Freenet to make it impossible to
determine whether someone is running a node. Having said that, we will
be taking some precautions in 0.4 to make it more difficult to harvest
node addresses. I did propose a system a while back called "Shadow
nodes" which would allow someone to hide their node address using one or
more other Freenet nodes as a proxy. Nobody except those nodes would
know that you are running a Freenet node.
