Linux supports per-user firewall rules; these are trivially employed
to create a sandbox from which one may access freenet-downloaded
content with an incomparably higher degree of safety.

        # Accept TCP packets destined for localhost:8888.
        iptables -A OUTPUT -d localhost -p tcp --dport 8888 -m owner --uid-owner 
freenet -j ACCEPT

        # Drop everything else.
        iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner freenet -j DROP

One should also disable HTTP inserts, which are another way to
divulge compromising information.

        httpInserts=false

(Note that I've just checked in support for this. Feedback and fixes
are obviously welcome.)
