I'm not sure using the words "Insecure" and "Please get some
connections" are a good thing. Opennet is not that insecure. Of course
it is if compared to pure-darknet, but it's still far more secure than
the internet. And most users just can't get connections to people they
know and trust because no one they know uses freenet.

Just yesterday, I met someone on #freenet-fr who knew nobody in the
network. But after a few readings, he decided that opennet was insecure,
refused to enable it and came to IRC to get Friends ! He thought we used
Friends like in the friend-slots of eMule, not like in
real-life-friends. I think we should stress that point.


What about :
Your node is not running at its maximal security level. It is trivial
for an attacker to find your node, and you could be connected to the Bad
Guys right now. If people you actually know and trust are using Freenet,
you can connect to them using the Friends page to increase your security
level. When you have at least 10 Friends, turn off insecure mode and
your node will become invisible to the outside world.
