All by itself, just by installing a Freenet node on your own computer, no. However, it is within the realm of possibility that someone might choose to insert web sites into Freenet. Once they're in Freenet, you can read them anonymously. (Of course, dynamic server-side content such as CGI will not work.) > Also I want to post a website that is accessible to the general public. (A > Freenet website available to non-Freenet users) Is this possible with the > procedure described for the .free domains? This would be a dream come true for many people -- no more hosting fees, bandwidth limits, storage limits, or acceptable use policies, EVER! But alas, it is not going to happen unless people with enormous resources at their disposal choose to run open public Freenet gateways. This, again, is within the realm of possibility, but I'd consider it even less likely than the first question. On the other hand, if Freenet can resolve all of its technical issues, *and* gain enough popularity that most people run it, then you could share your anonymously posted Freenet sites with people, because they'd just "click here to download Freenet" at any of a million different places, just like they currently "click here to download Flash", etc. This too is within the realm of possibility, but I can't even begin to guess how likely it is, since I have no real understanding of the details of Freenet's design. > Is it possible to arrange anonymous email with Freenet? I believe some people have attempted to do this, though I'm not equipped to answer the question myself. You might try searching the development list archives, or asking in the IRC channel. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
