Useless is strong. I will investigate what to do about routing, think the connection bit is solvable. > Your "gateway" would work like this: when your node announces to > Freenet or satisfies a request later on, it specially notes in the > datasource that it can't be directly reached, BUT you can connect to > this "gateway" at 1.2.3.4:5 and it'll tell me to connect to _you_. In my first post I suggesting a translating proxy which would replace the node address, in and out. Perhaps that is the way to do it, will think again. I was rethinking this for 2 reasons: * simplify if possible * the proxy would preferably works as a normal freenet node The original thinking can be accomplished by a small filtering proxy and some small hacks to fred. NOTE: A proxy would not be public but just a service to a friend. /g?ran -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
