I mean that from a security standpoint I would not want every machine on
my LAN running FreeNet. Not that I don't trust the programmers of FreeNet
but each new bit of ware you have to run on each machine is just one more
thing to worry about. The entire LAN is essentially running as a single
computer on the Net so it doesn't make sense to run more than one node and
it makes the most sense to run that node as part of the proxy server that
is already setup. There is already some proxy server FProxy or something
like that which lets you use a local machine to host FreeNet objects
within the web browser. Couldn't you just wrap that into an already
existing proxy server (once it reaches a stable API) to simplify
installation and admining?
