No. he also thought that he couldn't connect to his friends if he had opennet activated. > You seems to be missunderstanding the issue here: as soon as you've ticked > the opennet box, your node will announce and your ISP (if smart enough) will > know that you are running freenet. I understand that issue. But your ISP can already have serious hints by your connections to downloads.freenetproject.org and a sudden increase of your traffic. At the moment, Freenet isn't illegal. So the ISP knowing it is not a big risk. We all agree opennet is bad. But we should also accept the fact that, for most users, it is the only way to join the network. We can't seriously offer a feature an tell every users not to use it, right ? > Switching to darknet afterwards won't help: your isp knows that you're > running freenet and that's probably all he needs. If we go this way, we will end up removing opennet from the code and removing all documentation from the internet. After all, if the only way to discover Freenet is to connect to a friend, then he can also tell you how to install it... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFInI8qmY5qNqKdYw0RAr/QAJ9Lq/s0Rtq52kEluiufuVep7SA47wCgis30 xq4JQgDeNs12fzGcz9SVQS4= =zSDg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
