Counter suggestion:
Connect to strangers?
If you let freenet connect to strangers, freenet will be less secure for you
and everybody can find out that you are using freenet.
If you don't, you will have to manually contact at least three other people
who are using freenet and connect to them.
Connect to strangers?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No
Keep it simple and to the point. Don't use complicated sentence structures,
don't use very long sentences, don't throw in stuff in brackets, don't use
terminology that is not universally understandable. (What is a "node" to
someone new to networking and P2P?)
