Hello. I am running Freenet on a remote server. This server allows me to use 1TiB of traffic per month, 100GB of storage, 10MiB per second internet connection, is reliable and stable. This is helpful to opennet, because it is able to relay a lot of traffic. It also makes it easy to use Freenet from my mobile phone. I am using SSH to tunnel between localhost ports. If I run Freenet on my laptop, I would have to limit the traffic to 5 or 10 KiB per second, because this adds up after a month. It would be less stable for opennet because it has less uptime. It would be more complicated to use with my mobile phone, because I would need to use dynamic dns and port forwarding with my home router. I also avoid using my laptop as a server as much as possible. I imagine that everyone will agree that running Freenet remotely, in my situation, is more ideal. The major issue I have with running Freenet on a remote system is that any user on that system can root my Freenet account by pointing their web browser at the open port (on localhost). This is a serious problem. Please add password authentication to the web interface. If crypto is a problem, then put the password in a plain text file and use strict permissions on the file, because this is better than nothing. I am not subscribed to this mailing list.
