The main difficulty is, one complex page is not better than four simple pages. > > Maybe it would even be possible to just show a pane “Basic Config” which > shows > preselected configuration values, each with an edit-button (“change”). > > (I use [button] for buttons with the text “button”) > > ### Basic Config ### Language should normally be set by the installer. We already automatically enable UPnP, turn off JSTUN, and enable auto-updating on LOW security. I think we ask about them on HIGH? We don't need to ask about auto-updating IMHO, and JSTUN is too much of a risk for the more paranoid folk; UPnP is only dangerous on student LANs and even there there isn't that much they can do to you. We still need to ask for low security/high security as the first page, with custom = expert mode. Maybe we should rename "Custom security" to "Expert mode" ?

Whether ISPs charge for / cap total monthly transfer or just download varies. Showing just the output limit probably makes sense here, there's no sense limiting download since it's almost entirely driven by usage... unless you have a monthly cap. Hmmm ... We are trying to avoid having to show cover-your-backside explanation messages here as they bloat everything out to multiple pages ... Maybe we can get away with "26GB per month plus your downloads" or something though. One day we will have the ability to set a monthly limit AS WELL as the bandwidth limit here. We can deal with that on clicking Change though... On LOW security, we don't ask for a password. On HIGH, we ask. Either way we encrypt using master.keys. We could maybe include that here too. > * … > > [Finish and connect now] > > (4 values, one for each pane of the current wizard) > > > I2P works very nicely with > > something that would work without Javascript, but works much better > > with: it shows for a given speed setting how much it will likely use per > > month.
