[freenet-support] How to configure Freenet on a headless install?

2009-09-07 Thread freenet . mexon
I'm trying to get Freenet running on my server.  I follow the
instructions here:

http://freenetproject.org/download.html#unix

After installation, of course I need to access the web interface over
the Internet (actually, over a VPN).  There's a link at Read the FAQ on
how to enable web-access from a remote computer.  The link is broken,
there is in fact no such FAQ.  This is bad.

I figured out how to manually edit freenet.ini after googling up this:

http://emu.freenetproject.org/pipermail/support/2008-March/001727.html

But I still only get access as a dumb user.  I can't configure anything.
 How can I get the right to alter Freenet settings?

Easiest solution is a SSH tunnel imho.

ssh -N u...@myvpnhost -L1:127.0.0.1:

Open any browser (custom profile with strict privacy policy is better),
go to http://127.0.0.1:1/ and you're done.

fproxy.allowedHosts= #gives 'dumb user access'

fproxy.allowedHostsFullAccess= #gives full access (you need the 
above too... I guess)

fcp.allowedHosts=  #allows connections from remote fcp clients, e.g. 
Frost, Thaw, jSite, etc.

However, I don't know if that's a good thing to do over the internet. On 
a LAN, it's OK but maybe over the internet you want to use ssh as 
suggested by Artefact2
