I know, that's right! There is no way to hide the use of freenet nodes. But u cannot get personal data on every ip address as easily, like on registered domain addresses....

I'll take a look at it. But i don't like the firewall solution, because of negative effects on the node. The node would keep trying to build up unwanted connections, until drop/reject. There would be a high error count of no real errors and it would consume a hight amount of useless working threads thought....

In my opinion it makes a difference, if i present just a number/account-id/nick/any-provider-data, or my real name and street address via the easy use of the arin database....
