Re: [freenet-support] Peer connections
Hey Evan. I tried that site but it doesn't open or exist. I have gone to quite a few sites concerning how to forward ports and so far none of them instruct how to, just this is what you need to do. Frustrating to say the least. Since you say I am connected, how to I contact whoever I am connected to? I have searched through all the pages of Freenet I can access but nothing that shows or leads me into the path or manner of trying to contact any of these connected ones.

Hello. I hope this is OK. It’s quite long. I wonder if anyone can help with this/these question/s-comment/s in the form of clarification. I hope it doesn’t seem too petty but I wonder if others go through the same confusion as I. On this page: http://127.0.0.1:/plugins/ one can go to: “Load Official Plugin” The viewer can see, as did I, that “Fetch over Freenet is checked AND that it says, “This is untraceable, safe….” NOW, untraceable means anonymous. The other choice available is to, “Fetch over the web from Freenet’s central servers…and is “TRACEABLE”, meaning NOT ANONYMOUS! (Freenet isn’t safe?) On this page: FREEMAIL-SETUP http://127.0.0.1:/freenet:u...@xog49gnltumtjjzj0fvzugdpo4hjusy2us GQkjE7NY4,EtUH5b9gGpp8JiY-Bm-Y9kHX1q-yDjD- 9oRzXn21O9k,AQACAAE/freemail/4/setup/index.html It clearly directs one method of using the same plugin page as my beginning comment above (Load Official Plugin), with the “only” comment for that choice being that it is NOT ANONYMOUS! So, is one correct to assume that the first directive is false, misleading and/or has been tampered with (edited) by someone with bad intent? Or is it the second one? One point I am trying to make here is that this can cause some immediate doubt and confusion in someone new to Freenet. I am concerned because the world needs Freenet and Tor more than they might consciously know. I recently saw figures about the estimated number of users for both, and the numbers were very small. They are small enough that large arrays of computers, set around the world and networked, are capable of watching ALL nodes and gathering the data to be analyzed. Look at Tor. On the Network Map (of the world), there are nodes running in sequential order, and all these are located in the same place – near the CIA in the US. Some of these sequential orders are showing up in other locations around the Tor network. I have found Freenet to be so frustrating and confusing to set up and use, that as I search the web for information that is clear and helpful, I keep coming across more comments from Users who are quitting the program. Now it does make sense to me, that with anonymity programs, the more using them, the better and more safely anonymous it is for all. But, it seems the numbers are dwindling. I don’t know. I have used Tor for about 4 years. I recently went to its Hidden Wiki and about one half of all its services were gone! So, I wonder, as do others, is Tor is dying out? I really don’t want to see that for Tor or Freenet. If one goes to: http://127.0.0.1:/plugins/ first, before finding the .jar or .zip download page (supposedly both are anonymous but of course, IT DOESN’T SAY, then they might make a very bad choice solely from being confused by the directions. So, while this might seem very petty and/or trivial to (I don’t know-most who might read this), it is very important to write directions for the reader, not the writer! In Tor, the Hidden Services may be tampered with, changed, purposely to be misleading and dangerous, by those who want to destroy anonymity and our right to it. They use anonymity to try and destroy anonymity, except for them, of course. Is this also possible with the Freenet pages of “howto’s?” Can they be edited so that one is not aware of what is true, accurate and good for the User? Anyway, I am once more trying to set up Freenet, Freemail and Frost and am close to quitting. If I were more knowledgeable, I would write “howto’s” but I am not. It seems all I am is frustrated. One last thing, at Freemail-Setup, it tells me to download Freemail. The next bit of ‘howto’ is setting it up for “command line version setup”. I’m not doing that. I don’t know the pros and cons of command line Freemail. At the end of that instruction it says, “Now you have Freemail proxy running….” I DO? How? I didn’t do that so what the fuck happened? Does the download set it up or does it have to be set up after it’s downloaded? The latter makes sense to me but, it is now telling me I already have it running without doing anything. So, why the instructions? I mean, C’mon! I have to go by what the writer writes, right? Since it tells me I have it up and running, where is it? I can’t find it. These instructions are telling me to insert the long Freemail address I was given. I was given? When? Where? I haven’t done anything yet but the directions jump from something I don’t want to do and didn’t do, to, “I’m up and running!” This is a joke right? It’s only for those who are IT smart, meaning very few, and anonymity will be shot on site. Just before it gets to THUNDERBIRD, it tells me, “Remember that the Freemail.jar program needs to be running whilst you are reading and sending emails. So, where is it? There is no window to put in any information. Perhaps if I could get some help, yeah, I might be able to help others. Sorry for the rant but writing it out here seems to be

Re: [freenet-support] Please help
HI Jonathan. I'm very new to Freenet and have the same problem. One Freenet piece of advice told me to go to: http://www.whatismyip.com/ That will tell you what your IP is and you then insert (copy/paste), that URL number into the Temporary IP address hint window. I haven't done that yet myself as I am trying to uninstall Freenet and put in the latest Build, which I think I have finally downloaded. Post back if you would about how that works, i.e. what it does, results, etc, if you would be so kind. Good luck.

Unknown external address Freenet was unable to determine your external IP address (or the IP address of your NAT-device or firewall). You can still exchange references with other people, however this will only work if the other user is not behind a NAT-device or firewall. As soon as you have connected to one other user in this way, Freenet will be able to determine your external IP address. You can determine your current IP address and tell your node with the 'Temporary IP address hint' configuration parameter. Also, it would be a good idea to forward the ports 61616 and 27307 (UDP) on your router to make it easy to connect to your node. a..

I think I'm sort of averaging around 8-10 peers. I accidentally clicked something and it opened a separate tab showing connected and one busy. This was with a total of 19 peers at the time. I don't know about this next thing. The Freenet Installer icon was on my desktop. I just put it into a folder. When I opened the folder to look at it (for no good reason), there was the icon with these words; Freenet Installer- 1233. The Freenet page that opens says 1236. Like I said, I downloaded a new one yesterday but it's called, freenet-0.7.0-rc1.new-install. The site said it was the latest. That doesn't look like the latest to me.

I repeat, I need to know how. My best bet seems to be completely uninstalling it all so please some-anyone, does that also mean Java or will that uninstall with a Freenet uninstall? If uninstall goes successfully I intend to install again, but do I install Thunderbird before or after Freemail? Does Frost come after Freenet?

Hello. I have been having problems with my set up of Freenet, Frost and Freemail. I just downloaded Freenet but have yet to install it. The version I do have installed is 0.7.5, Build 1236 BUT Freenet site tells me it is a very old node software and I need to update. What I have ready to install is called, freenet-0.7.0-rc1.new- install. Can anyone verify if this is a newer and a good version? (just looking at the numbers it wouldn't appear to be, to me) I also would like to know if one should set up Freemail first before installing and setting up (configuring)something like Thunderbird? Is one done before the other? Are there any clear instructions, step-by-step in How to forward ports as I need to do this and don't know how to. Freenet keeps telling me it is trying to connect to or learn my IP but cannot unless I forward some ports but there are no directions about how to do this.

Freenet tells me it is trying to connect to my external IP and that I can use the Temporary IP Address hint. How? What is it I am supposed enter in that window and where do I find that information? Also, it tells me to forward three ports. Again, how does one do such a thing? I've never forwarded a port or an email so I need help here also. It also informs me that I am using a node or version, (0.7.0) that is horribly old and I should update. I have tried in the configurations drop down and it says configurations are successfully changed but I don't know if that is in fact the correct update. It still tells me each time I go to Freenet that my node is very, very old. HELP! Lastly, how does one go about finding friends on Freenet or Frost. It says to only connect to friends but I don't know anyone using Freenet or Frost. I am in a country that blocks many sites. I think the most in the world, so any real help would be greatly appreciated. It would be so nice to be able to talk with someone about different things while learning more about Freenet and Frost and how to use them to achieve the best safety and anonymity one can.
