Agreed, we should be more consistent. But friends/strangers makes for awkward wording here, doesn't it? And on the homepage opennet-is-enabled warning too? Hmmm, lets see... "Connect to strangers? Ideally, all Freenet users would connect only to people they know. This is far more secure, making it very difficult for an attacker to find your node. However, if you don't know at least 5 people already running Freenet nodes, you can instruct the node to connect to nodes run by people you don't know (Strangers). Note that you can always turn this off later. Do you know anyone already using Freenet? Yes, I have at least 5 friends already running Freenet and I will add their nodes on the Friends page. No, I want the node to automatically find untrusted nodes (aka Strangers) to connect to." Is this clearer than the previous wording? > > Cheers, > Michael
