Hi,
My name is Michael and I'm currently studying the source code of Freenet.
I have found that the object reference for all PeerNode objects has the
IP address of the peer associated with it. How is anonymity kept with
the IP of the peer exposed? I have examined the log file and it seems
the object reference of the peers are logged as they are added.
What I'm confused is since Freenet seek to promote freedom of speech in
the presence of strict government control, if they decide to run a
Freenet node and collect IP addresses in this manner, the consequences
would be unthinkable....
I have tested this by adding another node of mine and my IP address
appears as expected.
Can anyone explain to me why??
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael...
it is correct that your IP would be known by your neighbour node, but,
he is the only one to be able to identify you... more, and beside the
fact of being able to be sure that you are using Freenet (only sure of
this), even so, he has no way of knowing if the info or file or
whatever, coming to you, or going from you, did or not come or go 10
nodes away from you, since you act also (as a node) in passing
packets... and anyway, even so, he is (and you are, and any of your
neighbours) unable to know the content of the package, if you didn't
create it yourself or ask yourself for it since only the original sender
and final receiver are able to know it's content.
Hope it was clear...
