Freenet is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish "freesites" (web sites accessible only through Freenet) and chat on forums, without fear of censorship. Freenet is decentralised to make it less vulnerable to attack, and if used in "darknet" mode, where users only connect to their friends, is very difficult to detect.
Communications by Freenet nodes are encrypted and are routed through other nodes to make it extremely difficult to determine who is requesting the information and what its content is. Adding friends as nodes makes the network more robust from sybil attacks. Users contribute to the network by giving bandwidth and a portion of their hard drive (called the "data store") for storing files. Files are automatically kept or deleted depending on how popular they are, with the least popular being discarded to make way for newer or more popular content. Files are encrypted, so generally the user cannot easily discover what is in his datastore, and hopefully can't be held accountable for it. Chat forums, websites, and search functionality, are all built on top of this distributed data store This ports includes wot plugin which is framework on which most of the social media plugins rely on for spam protection and maintaining a persistent identity. Plugins to provide basic mail services and hosting freesites and f(b)log's are enabled by default. There exists a basic search function, to work it needs an exhaustive index which is easily generated by the default spider(web crawler) plugin. Open console 127.0.0.1:8888 in any browser, there is no elaborate proxy settings to deal with here. Any comments/Ok's?
