If fwproxy were able to map arbitrary DNS names to freenet keys, someone
could define a configuration to totally circumvent a particular site
blocking ISP. That may be more useful than a .free domain, although I do
it is cool to think of .free as a censorship free domain... it's power is
in it's simplicity (but if it exists at all, it should use ssks).
