The only problem that I can see here (and it may be kind of serious) would be: what if your bosses realize that you use resources, work hours, etc to catch Freenet users, and then you don't actually ban them? If you don't have a good excuse for that, may be better just forget the whole idea. Dude,

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'd suggest detecting Freenet nodes by their UDP traffic usage. No amount of VoIP or gaming activity will generate a near-constant UDP stream to ~20 external nodes. If your firewall/billing/traffic logging software provides for this, I think it'll be t

Hopefully the answer to Alex's question is: It can't be done. If he can detect freenet nodes on his network, you must assume that governments and the like can as well. I would rather we help Alex try (and hopefully fail) in detecting nodes on his private home network, than just ignore the fact tha
