What does "separate crypto" mean ? Does it use different algorithm or something ? Why ? I do assume that all the connections use a different crypto key, right ? Anyway, does using a separate port give any security advantages ? I would think it would allow an attacker who can packet-sniff your node to gain more information by reliably differentiating your darknet and opennet connections. > yet (you can add them manually to openpeers-<opennet port> though, they're > a lot like darknet refs). > - Fix many bugs relating to containers, FCP direct disk access, > connectivity when IP addresses change, matching connection drops (internal > messaging stuff, might have some impact), random number generation, node > to node text messages and direct F2F file transfer, form data parsing, and > more. - Further work on probe requests to prototype the rabbit hole > avoidance algorithm. > > This build will be mandatory on Tuesday, however it should be possible to > upgrade even then thanks to Update over Mandatory support; if you have any > problems, tell us. > > Thank you for using and testing > Freenet._______________________________________________ Devl mailing list > Devl at freenetproject.org > http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
