Question. To add support for firewalls & proxy would not be a big problem. The main problem here is something that is not yet clear to me: In the current code:
-Does any node expect to be connectable to any node, or just a n number of nodes it found during the discovery of other nodes. The problem with (NAT) firewalls or http proxy�s the outside is not allowed to connect to the inside. This is easely worked around by letting the inside connect to the outside. This is only possible for a limited number of nodes.The node behind the firewall//proxy could not set up a link to all nodes behind the firewall, just a couple he detected. Also is there a thing in freenet to find near nodes? nodes behind a NAT firewall could connect freely, but to the outside it would look like they have the same ip on a different port. The only thing i could find was a reference to radio networks. wireless networks have the same problem that they can only connect to near nodes, or they have to use some kind of internetwork router (/proxy). but in the code i could only find tcp/ip transport, where ssl is a special verion of tcp/ip. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ freenet-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/tech
