You really probably want to leave it with that default localhost-only binding, and ssh tunnel (ie. encrypted connection) into it from remote places. Otherwise your communication with your node will be visible to anyone on your lan, and possibly beyond. (And others will possibly be able to control your node if they figure out what IP address is allowed to access it.) _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
