I'm not sure about that. The wizard doesn't ask about ports, although the installer will use different ports if the defaults are occupied. I don't think the wizard asks about IP addresses; you will have to go to the Configuration page, and then add it in the Node section. > > MrFlibble > > > > -Original Message- > > From: support-bounces at freenetproject.org > > [mailto:support-bounces at freenetproject.org] On Behalf Of Level 13 > > Sent: 08 September 2008 22:12 > > To: support at freenetproject.org > > Subject: [freenet-support] Changing ports etc. > > > > Is there a short how-to for Freenet 0.7 installation for those who are > > switching from 0.5?

Re: [freenet-support] How does a Freenet newbie get Freenet friends to become invisible
On Tuesday 09 September 2008 18:15, Jelbert Holtrop wrote: Would it be possible to run a freenet node in a datacenter, that node will be set up to run with strangers. If I and my friends ( in a dark net) add that node as a friend we are alle connected to freenet and our identity is secure. Your identity is somewhat secure provided the node in the datacenter is secure, and the friends you add are trustworthy. Generally this sort of thing doesn't gain much performance unless it's the only way you can run a 24x7 node; most nodes don't manage output bandwidth over 70K/sec, and many nodes don't manage output bandwidth over 40K/sec. If I would make such a setup what would be the ammount of data bandwidth (the total amount of send and received data a day/month ) needed for such a node? Is it possible to fix the maximum amount of bandwith used? I would not like to receive a bill for going over my quota. You would need to set the bandwidth limits accordingly. We don't currently support a transfer limit/average bandwidth limit, but we do support bandwidth limits on both upstream and downstream bandwidth. If you give freenet a 20K/sec output limit, it shouldn't use much more than that, but make sure you include some slack.

How does a Freenet newbie, who urgently needs Freenet for some purpose, add reference nodes of Friends, when he/she does not have any Freenet Friends, but is all on his own? This is a question about finding Freenet friends, and not about adding the very reference node (that I know already) Freenet becomes more and more rurgent, I find I need it explained in down to earth words? It is a very relevant question I hope. :-) Short answer: you don't. Longer answer: the point of the Friends nodes is that the nodes are run by people you trust (for some value of trust). In order for that to be meaningful, you have to know the person in some context other than as a potential person to swap noderefs with. If you only know them as someone to swap noderefs with, then it's not particularly more or less secure than the automatic Strangers connections -- in either case, the people you're connecting to might be Bad Guys in disguise. So, in order to add Friends nodes in a manner that actually improves your security, you have to find people you know who run freenet -- if you don't know any such, then the best thing to do is convince your friends to run freenet, and swap noderefs with them. There simply isn't a shortcut here; if you want better security than the Strangers mode offers, you need to have some non-freenet-based trust in the person you're connecting to. (However, there's no requirement that you know the person in real life -- online friends who you know from another context work fine too.) Exactly how much you need to trust the Friends you connect to will depend on your personal situation. Hope that clears things up...

That could explain alot: download: aprox. 3.3 Gib upload : aprox. 2.4 Gib That's a fair amount too. The downloads will use a significant amount of RAM, the uploads will use a huge amount of RAM. You might like to try to db4o branch, although there's a good chance the uploads won't work ... I will work on uploads soon... Does increasing the memory limit help, or is it as high as you can go without hitting swap already? Ok, I set the maximum allocatable memory for java to 1016 MiB. I saw the actual allocated memory rise to around 1000 Mib once then it dropped and it is now fluctuating somewhere between 700 Mib and 850 Mib. The node is now running for 6 hours. The computer is swapping some memory (for the first time actually ;) ) but that doesn't really hurt the performance. Maybe if I drop 100 Mib memory it won't use swap anymore but as I don't notice any significant lost of performance I think I keep it this way. Anyway, thanks for the advise. Let me know if this makes it stable. As regards swapping, swapping and java don't mix very well: if part of the JVM is swapped out, it will have to be paged back in to do garbage collection, which may happen every 10 seconds or so...
