Okay, you convinced me of how Darknet could add to my security. I think I understand though I'm not sure. Yet the practical problem for me stays the same, although I now would like to find a darknet peer, I would not know how. Not nice for me to write but fact, I got no close friends at all. Would not want to ask family as they'd understand nothing of this even when one has been an IT worker all his life. I could explain the technics but he would understand nothing of why Freenet, anonymity, strong encryption is needed. To trust a coworker with the fact I run a FN node, well, I don't dare that either. Only one of them /might/ understand, but I don't want to try. A side comment; I do not see how the NSA could take over all my opennet connections, no matter how many nodes it runs. The connections limit of 40 has been raised to, 100? I have 73 opennet connections now, 16 backed off. How could the NSA take over all 57 remaining connections. If the NSA would run nearly all nodes, okay. Could supernodes, with an extremely high bandwidth do this? If so, I imagine those nodes would be similar to black holes for them only 'sucking in', but very visible. Also, I have read the surfaced docs on LE Freenet investigations, it looks like the NSA can well identify files within Freenet, but I read between the lines they are not as powerful as they would like to be on cracking Freenets pseudonymity, in fact hardly at all at the moment of writing. I have read lots on how 'the cops' try to get warrants but very little on how Freenet is surveilled from within. Don't see how surveillance within would give them much to go after either. So I still think it will be next to impossible to link Freenet ID's to IP adresses. Linking downloads to IP adresses is easy, given the downloaders do it in the most unsafe way. So there can be thought of how to make it less unsafe. Oh, will darknet be as unsafe for the 'friends' running both darknet and opennet? _______________________________________________ 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
