I'm sorry I didn't notice your original post, so this reply comes a little late, but your proposed fix is useless. I can already make Freenet requests from behind a NAT to any set of nodes I like. However, I can't run a useful node because the NAT blocks incoming connections. But I can still connect out - so that's what I'll do! You just let me know that you've got a request for me, and I'll connect out to your node and accept it! And that, I'm afraid, can't be accomplished within Freenet in any way that I can imagine. Yet it can't simply be done with a few centralized servers either, since these things are great traffic peepholes and the FBI better be kept far away if anyone wants to be anonymous. In other words, we need a distributed network. Pain. And what'll we accomplish? Won't these NAT-nodes be shut down as soon as they start using outstream bandwidth anyway? The bloody network commies wouldn't be running a NAT if they thought the users were entitled to run servers. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
