While the darknet is what they're testing right now, as I understand it, the intent is to have an opennet version eventually.
People in countries where Freenet is legal will be able to connect via opennet, while others can use the darknet. Those using darknet will not be detectable by the authorities. But there are many stages of testing to be gone through before this can happen. I'm sure Matthew and/or Ian will chime in if I'm wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <chat@freenetproject.org> Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2006 4:45 PM Subject: [freenet-chat] Finding refs > Having to find and install an IRC package just to connect once to the > freenet channel for refs is a pain in the ass - so hopefully this list > will prove useful for that purpose (I have also read where others have > found little luck getting refs using the IRC channel, even when there > are many people in the channel). > > To be honest, this ref system is a rather tricky and cumbersome system, > and arguably is rather irrelevant.
