No. Freenet as presently designed is not intended to make node operators invisible. It is intended to make authors and retrievers of specific content untraceable, and provide plausible deniability for node operators. At some point in the future Freenet may employ various techniques to operate better in environments where just running a node leads to problems, but this will probably happen after 1.0 as we need to get routing working first.
