In principle it would be a good idea to have local authentication. However it's not a priority. The bottom line is if you don't control the computer you are running Freenet on, nothing you can do will ensure your safety. Even if you rent it from a cloud provider, it is perfectly legal in the US for the authorities to install whatever wiretapping they want, even if you are not suspected of a crime. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21263321
