Another user-case- I run Freenet on both my laptop, and my Home machine. My home machine is double-natted, on a VERY dynamic IP address- It's on a assigned 192.* address, that's forwarding to a 10.0.* address, that's forwarding to a Dynamic IP Verizon DSL address.
I run Terminal Services server on my Desktop (Like VNC), so I can log into it from anywhere, to see how websites look in Windows. I've run DynDns before, but lately, I find it simplier to fire up Freenet on my laptop, and let it connect, and fetch the ARK for my desktop. I then copy and paste the IP address from there, to my Terminal Services client. But even through all this, I still need to set up port forwarding through multiple NATs- And it only works for the ports I've specifically set up. If Freenet had Hamachi-style functionality, I could use that to connect to Terminal Services on my desktop. I could also use it to connect to the SSH server on my desktop, and to play a multiplayer game against my girlfriend, who is sitting at the desktop. It lets me utilize that machine as if I were plugged into it directly, without exposing that machine to strangers, via a DMZ. That's VERY useful, and definitely establishing manual darknet connections for, even if Opennet existed. -Colin
