The only obvious way I can see around it right now is to make a copy of javaw.exe just for Freenet use in the same directory where it is currently with a different name, and update the javaw.exe line in Flaunch.ini ... I haven't tried this but I think it should work. If so your personal firewall should let you set different permissions on it. If that doesn't work you could install another JRE somewhere just for freenet. Or if you think it's some issue with both exe's being recognised as the same by your firewall (having the same hash), add random byte(s) of junk on the end of your copy, execution should never reach that point so it shouldn't cause any problems.
