 I didnt get a reply or see my query posted below or see any answers to it.
 I only just checked recently and it said there was a 3 day expiration
 problem so I may have missed something.Apologies.
 
 Can you post again or reply?

Sorry... it sounds like the virus checker broke the install? Can you try 
reinstalling now that you've told the virus checker that it's okay?

 Thanks

  Hi
 
  I tried the media email but as Im mainly having technical problems
  installing getting freenet to work, I was advised by Ian to use this email
  instead.
 
  I am looking to do an independent review/experience of freenet in a blog,
  however Ive tried to install it but its failed.
 
  Ive tried it recently on a windows 7 system which didnt work (I thought
  possibly because of kaspersky and windows 7 64 bit) and also today tried it
  on vista a 32bit system with webroot essentials and with firefox private
  browsing permanently checked.
 
  Firstly after installing it my security package webroot essentials picked
  it up as a suspect program and put in quarantine. I later restored the 3
  freenet programs/app which were in there,and tried start freenet and open
  freenet, but I got 'searching for freenet.exe or browse for it' and then I
  tried to run the correct freenet file in the folder but I got java virtual
  machine launcher and 'a java exception has occurred'. I tried two others I
  thought might be correct but it still didnt work.
 
  I then tried the 127.0.0.1: instructions and firefox couldnt find
  anything and that didnt work either. No system tray icon has appeared (or
  rabbit icon applet) either.
 
  I just wanted to see what this is all about (I heard about it on an talk
  radio station) and then get the hell out if I dont like the look of it, but
  it looks like its going to be difficult to get it to work/run at all.
 
  Can you help/advise me here as to what Im doing wrong or as to why this
  isnt installing or running properly?.
 
  Im not an advanced computer user  (maybe intermediate just about)
 
  Thanks
  Jon

 Good morning...
 I've been experiencing the same errors more than once and would like to know

 Every time I try to start Freenet, pops a text window saying: Freenet

 And, now and then, pops another one with this text: The Freenet Launcher

 Looking forward to solve it.
 Thank you.

If you could post your wrapper.log that might be helpful (in the wrapper\

 Hello,

 Not very good to make me trust your .exe, honestly :(
 I suggest you update this text and also include at least an MD5 checksum to 
 increase trust.

I have removed the (8MB). There is a gpg signature and all the links are 
using SSL. One thing we don't say on the website is if you don't trust google, 
you can get it from us directly:
https://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/FreenetInstaller-1409.exe
https://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/FreenetInstaller-1409.exe.sig

Of course then you'd have to either trust our SSL cert (bad idea) or find a gpg 
trust path to my pubkey (hard!).

 Hi,
 I've been on Freenet for over a year with no significant problems.
 For the last month, every time I try to access (Build 1407) it gets to
 one or two nodes, then after several minutes, goes to zero nodes and
 stays there.  I've tried reinstalling on the same disk, different
 disk, with the same results.

Is this behaviour new with build 1407?
 
 I'm on Windows 7 and the system configuration has not changed from
 when it was working.  Any guidance would be much appreciated.

This is very odd. First:
- Post your wrapper.log. You might want to look for anything incriminating 
(e.g. look for @ to find keys), and/or send it to me directly.
- Go to the Messages page and click on Switch to advanced mode. Copy what it 
says on the announcing alert. Is it managing to connect to any seednodes? Is it 
even trying to connect to them?
 
 Thanks.

 icon and select start freenet it does nothing. When I select open web

 the tray back to my computer and starting it from there with no luck. It 
 worked just yesterday, so I'm really confused. Any help you could provide 
 would be greatly appreciated.

If the path to the install has changed it's going to be easiest to reinstall it 
to the new path. Sorry. Also this means you may have to start Freenet manually, 
if you don't start the truecrypt container on boot-up.

It should start on startup.

You can manually start it by opening a terminal, and doing:
cd Freenet

However, it sounds like it's broken. You could send me your wrapper.log (in

You shouldn't need to run Freemail directly with java -jar. You should be able

I assume you are using 64-bit Windows? Unfortunately the current Freenet on 
Windows uses only the 32-bit version of Java. So you need to install the latest 
32-bit Java 1.6.
 
 you guys are going a great job

That is very odd. Are you sure you actually installed Freenet? It should be 
installed in e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Freenet ... There should be a menu 
folder, and within that items called Start Freenet or Open Freenet. Also in 
your system tray (bottom right hand of the screen, you may have to click on it 
to expand to see all the tiny icons), there should be an icon that looks like a 
rabbit...

It sounds like some unzipping software may have interfered with the install 
somehow ...

If it's still disconnecting quickly, please wait for it to disconnect and then

Currently the launcher chooses Chrome if both are installed. The reasons are 
related to reliability issues with launching privacy mode from the command 
line. However, you can open freenet manually, or even create a link to open it, 
with http://127.0.0.1:/

 Instructions on setting up port forwarding are very unclear. (maybe this is 
 why freenet growth is small)

Unfortunately it is extremely difficult to write idiot proof instructions on 
setting up port forwarding given there are an awful lot of different routers. 
Fortunately most of the time UPnP handles this automatically, so most people 
don't need to bother. Also, Freenet will work to some degree without forwarding 
ports.
 
  There are multiple numbers for different ports in Freenet program. The FCP, 
 Notification and the ini file seem to ALL show different values.
 
  Which is the port that needs forwarding exactly (please include protocol, 
 direction, type) and TO WHAT ports on the Freenet machine?

If you need to forward the ports then an alert will show up on the homepage 
including the exact ports. These vary from node to node so I can't tell you 
them but they will be UDP.  Also I suggest you visit the Internet Connection 
page, it gives you this information at the top of the page. For example mine 
shows:

* Darknet FNP: 24374/UDP (used to connect to trusted peers i.e. Friends; 
forward this port if you can)
* Opennet FNP: 37024/UDP (used to connect to untrusted peers i.e. 
Strangers; forward this port if you can)
* FProxy: /TCP (this web interface)
* FCP: 9481/TCP (for Freenet clients such as Frost and Thaw)
* TMCI: 2323/TCP (simple telnet-based command-line interface)

You need to forward the first two ports. However you should not forward 24374 
and 37024 because these are my UDP ports - they are chosen randomly and are 
different for you. These port numbers are (more or less) unique to your node so 
you should not mention them on anonymous forums on Freenet e.g. FMS.
 
  Do firewall rules on routers have to be changed in addition to the 
 forwarding? (in this case, port of destination and source; ip address of 
 source and destination are needed-including the direction. And does the 
 direction change the meaning of source or destination ports?)

No. Well it depends on the firewall rules I guess. Like I said, this stuff 
varies a lot. It's hard. Non-geek users should not have to deal with it.

What we need, ideally, is for incoming packets on the 2 UDP ports to be 
forwarded to the computer running Freenet. UPnP will normally set this up, but 
it may not always work.
 
  Thanks

  I am looking into setting up a distribution where Tor or freenet is used

  One of the issues with freenet is that it is slow. I haven't used it in
  many years and do understand it has gotten much better. I also am aware
  that after a few days it gets faster as popular data is retained and gets
  'cached' on your node and nearby nodes based on what those around you are
  doing.
 
  What I'm trying to figure out is what happens when your node is not on
  24/7 and you can only connect infrequently for several hours at a time.
 
  Many users have a persistent local threat that they need to be aware of.
  Leaving a server running is not an option as it could be compromised by an
  adversary.
 
  Removable media can reduce that threat. What I'm looking to find out is if
  you run a freenode from a removable media and then run a local server
  running freenode to use as one of your peers (which could be on all the
  time) does this post a threat?
 
  If no local server is run that you peer with how is the speed if you only
  connect every few days? Is running freenet for a few hours to several
  hours going to be sufficient or will it be unbearably slow?
 
  With Tor speeds are frequently severely limited. Especially with .onion
  nodes. Some non-onion servers can be accessed with significant speed
  though for sustained periods (15-300... maybe faster).
 
 The bigger problem with Freenet isn't really speed, it's the latency (i.e. how
 long it takes for the data to begin being actually downloaded after request or
 be uploaded after the insert starts). That part gets better if you are 
 connected
 after some time.
 
 Also you didn't state if you are looking for anonymous publishing or anonymous
 downloading. If it's for publishing then Freenet will actually be better than
 Tor for you, since after the user goes offline the content doesn't disappear,
 and the adversary cannot determine the user simply by looking at patterns in 
 the
 accessibility.
 
 However, if you are looking for something which will protect the user, who
 cannot run any software for a long period of time and wants to download the
 material right after going online, then perhaps something like Tor is better 
 (at
 this time).
 
 Of course, what do i know?
 
   - Volodya

The basic problem is if you have a persistent local threat, they will install 
a keylogger and know precisely what you are doing. If you're just worried about 
mum finding some naughty pictures and getting the wrong impression, there are 
various ways to deal with that.

  How would you tell the difference between freenet becoming more

 You wouldn't know. But you can't exactly be targeted until you exist.
 Second. There are lots of adversaries. Not all of them are going to be
 targeting you. If the number of nodes is increasing it makes any one
 adversaries job all that much harder to target any one particular user.
 The Tor project has said such before. The more nodes that exist the harder
 certain attacks are to perform. Many of these attacks become apparent too
 if done too quickly. I'm not saying this would work for Freenet. I'm just
 saying it depends on the model and various factors. Freenet is very small.
 So it Tor. If every computer was distributed with Freenet or Tor many of
 these attacks would be much more difficult. Your node should have a choice
 as to who to connect with. If you have enough choice you will be unlikely
 to come across your adversary given a random selection of nodes.

Tor has scalability issues. In principle Freenet should scale better than Tor 
does.

Unfortunately bandwidth is very cheap in quantity. Computing hardware and geeks 
are cheap too. So even with a big network, it's likely that connecting to and 
surveilling every node is going to be feasible for a relatively small cost. And 
in fact a big network would be more likely to contain interesting targets - so 
is more likely to be surveilled than a small network.

This is just the extreme end of opennet attacks though.

There are many cheaper attacks, which are partially explained in the FAQ.
 
  The way to do this really is to monitor the data and figure out what
  the statistics are or have been over time and then base it off this
  information. If there is a change in those statistics it could
  indicate an attack.
 
  This is being done. But it won't help in this case at all. (Even if I
  wanted to dump thousands of bugged nodes into the network, I could
  simply post a Slashdot article, and join that upsurge.)
 
 You could. But then that upsurge would probably make it all the more
 difficult to perform the attack.

For the record your idea of taking stats doesn't work. It doesn't work because 
nodes constantly go online and offline, so you need to constantly add more 
nodes - and many nodes do actually leave for good. It doesn't work because an 
attacker could perfectly well make his nodes behave in the predictable way 
you expect. And above all it doesn't work because routing on opennet is 
dependant on the path folding algorithm, which constantly changes the 
connections to optimise data retrieval. Simply choosing a fixed set of peers at 
install time does not work, especially not if the network is getting bigger. We 
do limit the rate of gaining new connections, but we can't limit it to be so 
slow as to affect an attacker in a big way.

An attacker cannot directly connect to your node, he has to use path folding. 
But there are various attacks that make use of this. The simplest, and most 
expensive - connect to everyone - simply means he has to be a good node. More 
sophisticated, cheaper attacks rely on figuring out, with slowly increasingly 
precision, where a stream of requests are coming from. And yes we have many 
ideas on how to make these attacks much more difficult, especially for inserts 
(which generally are more valuable than requests).
 
 Are you reading what I'm writing? You have to organize first. If you
 haven't organized you can't get the people unbrainwashed. Any revolution
 takes MANY people.

Debatable point in the light of recent events IMHO.
 
 You clearly would prefer to go out in the street and organize. Good luck
 not getting shot.

My brothers and sisters and girlfriends and parents will come after me. When 
they get shot their relatives will come after. When they keep on shooting us we 
just get bigger. And if they still won't give in, and shoot us some more, the 
soldiers start defecting to our side, and we still win.

I'm not saying you don't need organisers. Certainly inspiring voices are 
helpful, and keeping them safe is helpful. But look at what has been achieved 
with essentially traceable, public systems.

IMHO Freenet has limited use in revolutions because the authorities will either 
turn off the internet completely or find some expensive technical way to block 
it which they can get the people to pay for. However, if it is popular, and 
allows people to communicate, it can be very useful, not least for helping 
people to hear voices they wouldn't be able to hear otherwise. China has shown 
it's willing to tolerate criminality as long as it doesn't include dissent - 
there is apparently state-licensed p2p software. This would never happen here

 No, everything is not relative :P. Opennet *is* pretty easily

 minimal amount of trust in it -- via the seednodes. But it's easily
 exploitable. A darknet is the way to go. (The only reason why the
 opennet is still around is because people are lazy and complacent.))

It's a specific problem with not being a mixnet. Unfortunately mixnets are 
either not scalable or easily blocked or both. However IMHO Freenet can be 
useful even without being a mixnet.
  
  Nobody is saying you don't need public support (at least until you
  gain power).
 
 It's the first and main thing you need, before you decide to take any
 action. (Unless that action is supposed to persuade them -- which
 anything violent or controversial probably almost certainly won't.)

Hmmm... when was this email written? ;)
 
  If the government is killing off or arresting the organizers then
  gaining popular support is difficult or impossible.
 
 Well, if they're organizing to get the revolution rolling, then of
 course that's an assured fail. If they're organizing to peacefully
 teach people, then yea, arresting those people will hamper things. This
 is where freenet might come in.

What happened in practice is they posted to facebook pages (sometimes in their 
real name, sometimes Facebook turned a blind eye, but it is likely to crack 
down on it now outside of countries where it has no legal exposure and it is 
fashionable not to cooperate with the authorities), they got traced by the 
regime and executed, but then their families came out, along with the families 
of all the people kidnapped and shot by the government at demonstrations...

What you really need in such a communication tool is *popularity*. The problem 
with Facebook is that you are at the whims of a corporation trying to make a 
profit, whose main asset is *your private information*. The problem with 
Freenet is even if we get it working well (and we're a long way off that), if 
it's popular the government will just block it by various rather expensive 
brute-force methods and bill the customers for the oppression.

But generally, the more popular Freenet is, the more useful it is for political 
purposes.

And yes, things like subversive blogs are important. Even in the west, where 
people get fired, prosecuted etc for blogging about work.
 
  The problem is that many people are going to be in great danger as
  they will be physically doing things that might get detected.
 
 People should not be doing things physically, before the philosophy
 is firmly entrenched in the minds of the people. If the people are
 still brainwashed, than any action you take will only make your
 position look worse. First you have to undo their brainwashing.

Hence blogs etc.

  I would put money on them taking advantage of zero day exploits

  and successfully identified a user. It was none of the above projects
  although the ability to force upon developers code changes that go

  that appeared to be a fairly low-value target. The only thing that
  might stop this from happening to other projects is where the
  developers are operating in one country and the government attempting

  Another thing that might stop this from happening is open source
  software, and at least a bunch of coders reviewing and signing any code
  before it gets released. (I'm actually not sure how many coders have to
  currently sign -- surely it's not just Toad?)
 
 It mitigates it to a degree although the concern still exists. For a few
 reasons. The party who distributes the binary is going to be ordered not
 to reveal the modifications. The main page/download page isn't going to
 warn users and that is likely the only information they are going to see
 before updating. It becomes newsworthy information though so there is a
 slight chance a user who keeps up on this stuff would notice prior to
 installation.
 
 The court could order the source code not be released for the new binary
 too. At least not the code that matches the new binary. Then users would
 need to actually notice the binary differs from the source code and
 disassemble it to find the bug. How many users actually compile it
 themselves? How many examine the diffs?

There has been some work towards a way to automatically verify the binary 
against the source (fortunately java compilation is deterministic!). If this is 
run by enough people (and assuming people actually review the code!) it could 
provide a strong safeguard against corrupt release managers. This is a genuine 
problem because laws likely to be passed in the UK, could well compromise me.

If you are interested in running said script let me know and I will give 
details. I believe it is in the maintenance scripts repository.

I disagree with most of what you have said. However, the above is more or less 
on target. You need a lot of people using Freenet who aren't interested in 
political activism, who are just using it to talk to their friends, share files 
etc. Then all your Friends can be people you know (so darknet is feasible), and 
yet they're not all part of your guerilla cell.

Also, any good movement needs martyrs.

  Freenet is connecting to the network - this may take a few minutes. 
  Performance
   will continue to improve during the next few hours. This will happen each 
  time you shut down Freenet for more than a few minutes, so try to leave it 
  running 24 hours a day if possible. We have recently sent 0 announcements, 
  0 of which are still running, and added 0 nodes (0 nodes have rejected us). 
  We are currently connected to 10 seednodes and trying to connect to another 
  9.
 
 
 Does that sound familiar! Only replace that 'connected to 10' with 
 'connected to 0' and then keep on staring at that for days. You do 
 refresh the nodes page manually and you do look at the 'strangers' page, 
 I hope. Do hope too your router supports UPnP, if not, then you need to 
 configure the router to open the Freenet ports.
 You can test if you have done so successfully at portforward.com. If 
 your ports are not open, check your software firewall if you need to 
 configure that, too. Also, realtime malware scanners can interfere.
 
 What sometimes, only sometimes works for me:
 shut down FN, go to the folder you installed Freenet in. Delete 
 everything with numbers in it including nodedb4o and the temp folder. 
 Then start FN again.
 Repeat as many times as necessary. If the node has not found strangers 
 that connect within an hour, it never will.
 
 I do this routinely as FN never works for me without this drastic deleting.

Did you ever find out what the problem was? If it's not managing to connect to 
any seednodes at all there is most likely a problem with your network 
connection...

Did you ever get this working? It can take a while to get onto the network, but 
it's also possible your connection is broken, or that there is in fact a 
problem with Freenet... It might be worth trying again anyway...

Did you ever get Freenet working? It's possible there are network problems with 
your VM, have you had a node working without a VM?

 Hi again,
 
 with latest release 1405 (sorry that I didn't mention it last mail, so
 please assume it always) I have some more NPEs, please see attached

 These NPEs happens while freenet is already running.
 
 Regards,

I think there was some work done on this. Do you still see such problems? Are 
you even running Freenet now? (Sorry it took so long...)

 Hi all,
 
 attached is a logfile containing two exceptions while the plugin
 FlogHelper is starting up. This randomly happens (but often) and I have
 to shutdown my node, edit freenet.ini (remove the entry FlogHelper
 from it) and re-add the plug-in.
 
 I have a Debian Unstable AMD64 system with latest packages.

I've fixed the second NPE, which is in fred. I've filed a bug on FlogHelper for 
the first NPE.

 I try to uninstall the program using the uninstaller in the freenet

 Can u advise as to a solution?
 
 I am on Windows Vista 64 bit.
 
 Appreciate your assistance. I am a medium technical user.
 
 Thanks,

Did you eventually solve the problem? It works for me on Windows 7 64-bit, and 
XP64. Sorry for the long turnaround time!

Did you ever fix this? It might be trying to run more than one copy - did it 
work if you open it in a web browser?

Sorry for taking a long time to get back to you. You might like to try 
installing a more recent version if you had given up on it!

How about not logging anything incriminating by default? No port
