Nothing I have ever proposed would preclude Freenet from working on any architecture with a non-buggy Java implementation and an even half-sane connection to the Internet. Some scenarios may require a bit of configuration, but only because there is absolutely no alternative. > The other half of the rant relates to my suspicion that the UDP > NAT-hopping tricks will fail to work reliably on several kinds of > firewalls. I have absolutely no evidence to support this apart from > this: UDP NAT-hopping works on the vast majority of firewalls >>without any reconfiguration of the firewall whatsoever<<. On the rest, it may require port-forwarding, meaning that even in the worst case scenario it is no different to Freenet, or most other P2P applications today, but in the scenario of the majority of Freenet users, it will be a significant improvement. The NAT-hopping takes advantage of a very deliberate feature of most firewalls which allows them to facilitate bi-directional UDP communication, this feature is necessary because UDP is a connectionless protocol. To get Dijjer working try forwarding UDP port 9114 from your firewall to the same port on your computer (in due course we will add instructions for doing this, Dijjer is still a work in progress).
