Hello.
I am running Freenet on a remote server. This server allows me to use
1TiB of traffic per month, 100GB of storage, 10MiB per second internet
connection, is reliable and stable. This is helpful to opennet, because
it is able to relay a lot of traffic. It also makes it easy to use
Freenet from my mobile phone. I am using SSH to tunnel between localhost
ports.
If I run Freenet on my laptop, I would have to limit the traffic to 5 or
10 KiB per second, because this adds up after a month. It would be less
stable for opennet because it has less uptime. It would be more
complicated to use with my mobile phone, because I would need to use
dynamic dns and port forwarding with my home router. I also avoid using
my laptop as a server as much as possible.
I imagine that everyone will agree that running Freenet remotely, in my
situation, is more ideal.
The major issue I have with running Freenet on a remote system is that
any user on that system can root my Freenet account by pointing their
web browser at the open port (on localhost). This is a serious problem.
Please add password authentication to the web interface. If crypto is a
problem, then put the password in a plain text file and use strict
permissions on the file, because this is better than nothing.
