Mail and forums are very unsafe. You can make mail safe however by using GPG, you and your friend both need to use it. You need eachothers public key, you use it to encrypt mail only you and your friend can read. You can sign your message by your secret key, your friend knows for sure the message is by you. Not even the NSA is known to be able to crack GPG. I think everyone who is privacy-aware must use GPG as much as he can. I am privacy aware, for that reason this is an anonymous mail. The NSA stores the text (yes they do!), but they can not know who sent it. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

No employees to be forced to reply to mails...) What is "safe" depends on who you think might be attacking you. In theory, people who are capable of intercepting your mails could replace your noderef with their own and thus intercept your Freenet traffic. This is called man-in-the-middle attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack Of course this is a bit complex to do and thus will probably only happen if someone is actively trying to hack you, such as a government. So if you don't feel like the government is interested in you personally, use mail. Otherwise use an USB stick. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
[freenet-support] safe to send noderef by email
Hi, If I want to invite friends to freenet would it be safe to exhange the noderef bij email or exhange them on a forum? Or is the only secure way to exhange them by a physical meeting and excange usb sticks?

[freenet-support] safe?
Hi, If I understand correctly, also the local cache and all files and such are encrypted, right? And you can only access them if you know the key you're looking for. How is that with fms? If I read a message in it and it is cached on local disk (is it?) is it encrypted?

The sqlite3 (fms.db3) file. It contains all your options/identities, as well as saved forum messages and trust lists. It probably would be handy if it could be stored already encrypted on disk, but as you suggest, it's not essential. I don't think you can change where it gets saved -- not even via (sym)linking. (Because, I think, when it defragments the database, it recreates and overwrites the existing db.) ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
