[freenet-support] The new version and UDP

[Matthew Toseland]

Well... yeah. :| You can keep using 0.5. And there will be a TCP
transport plugin, eventually, but probably not before 0.7.0.

However in your case I rather suspect freenet 0.7.0 would just work,
even with UDP. UDP port forwarding should not normally be necessary. If
you know the IP of the other end, and it knows yours, you can connect,
unless your router is *really* whacky.

 What happens to those unlucky users who can't use UDP? Should we just
 stop using Freenet until we get a better router / portforwarding
 support?

[freenet-support] The new version and UDP

[Level 13]

I know it probably sounds silly, but for some time I've been using a
router that doesn't support UDP port forwarding, and I probably won't
change it any time soon... I see the 0.7 is switching from TCP to UDP.
What happens to those unlucky users who can't use UDP? Should we just
stop using Freenet until we get a better router / portforwarding
support?
