This has been proposed before. I believe there is a VPN-based network on such principles (always jump a nation boundary on each hop). I would point out that the set of such antipathic relationships is quite small. On Freenet, it wouldn't help much IMHO (on opennet i.e. Strangers, it is possible to attack the network without compromising nodes) and would have a considerable performance cost. There was a design decision taken that if you have security level NORMAL and therefore use opennet you want adequate (if not stellar) performance; high security and opennet do not go together on Freenet's architecture, so options that cost a lot of performance are disabled by default on NORMAL; HIGH turns off opennet. However if somebody sends a patch and some mechanism to update the IP mappings, we would consider having it as an option. > > > On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 4:31 AM, Luke771 <luke771 at gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:31:46 +0100 > > "3BUIb3S50i 3BUIb3S50i" <3buib3s50i at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Thank you for your reply. > > > > > > I tried to block all traffic.
