If that’s what you want to go for and you want to increase
performance
with the currently available tools (no changes needed, so nothing
blocks
doing this today), you could run multiple low-bandwidth nodes on the
gateway and configure them to connect to the node on the client. At 5
friend-to-friend connections Freenet pure friend-to-friend
performance
starts to get pretty good.
I dunno. While I can understand the less than optimal performance of
this workaround, first-time users might be put off. So I want to do
this
when I am confident that users will have the best experience possible.
With multiple nodes running on the gateway, the performance should be
good enough for tasks which are similar in their requirements to
regular
browsing.
How would that fare for resource use? Gateway VM is set with 512MB RAM
to allow for DE to load but it can run with as little as 128MB which is
really useful when running mutliple anonymity clients in parallel for
different activities.
The configuration can be done via pyFreenet. See our update over
mandatory test script for an example of connecting two nodes:
https://github.com/freenet/scripts/blob/b56225bedcc646a8ba88f04862e89f15e246d4b8/test-autoupgrade#L150
I’m running such a setup myself to have a pure darknet node (to
dogfod
with how Freenet works for users who disable opennet for security
reasons) which still gets pretty good performance if most friends are
offline.
I'm thinking some of Freenet supporting an explicit 'proxy mode'
where
it would provide a SOCKS interface for Freenet on the workstation to
use for outbound connections.
Isn’t that what happens with SSH port-forwarding? What am I missing?
Also we can't have SSH or any other helper daemons running on the
Gateway by any means. We don't even have DHCP servers or clients on
there and rightly so - made us immune to some RCEs.
What I mean is: Would a SOCKS interface not just provide the same as
SSH
forwarding?
Yes technically you can turn SSH into a SOCKS proxy server when you run
it dynamically.
Best wishes,
Arne
