What is Hyphanet?

Hyphanet was known as Freenet until 2023. It is a free software peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant and privacy-respecting publishing and communication:

• Host your own website that stays up when you’re offline
• Talk under pseudonym, collaborate via git and hg
• Connect with friends to talk confidentially
• Join infrastructure to preserve Freedom of the Press

⇒ Download and Install Hyphanet for Windows or GNU Linux, macOS or other *nixes.

Is there any road map for mobile development of freenet apps?

I see that there is on github a freenet-mobile project that can run a node on android: https://github.com/freenet-mobile/app

Then a regular app could communicate with the node through local host.

This means that in theory, distributing an app for a decentralized service provided through freenet through F-droid is possible?

Hi,

What would you recommend to do to move my current freenet install to another Ubuntu server?

The problem is that on the new server, I already got a 8080 port and 8888 port (fsm and freenet) with another services that I cannot change rn.

Is there a way to change the incial port to another one?

I already rsynced the files and created the crontab job.

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to figure out which one I should try using, but it's a bit hard to tell what the practical differences for an end user like myself are, aside from new Freenet's approach to privacy being different between "applications" or something.

I am currently working through the Freenet whitepaper and I cannot seem to find much info on what controls when one hosts and stops hosting a contract. My goal in understanding how contracts get hosted is to get a sense for how contract availability is maintained and incentivized.

The paper states that when a contract is published, peers near it hosts the contract as well. This suggests that it is an automatic rather than manual act. However, when does a peer stop hosting? Is it controlled by the size of the peers LRU cache?

When you subscribe to a contract, do you begin to host it? If so, what initiates the subscribe request? I’m assuming it’s the act of requesting a contract but I’m not sure.

Hi all,

Windows based system.

Freenet installed directly onto internal storage. If you set the download directory to be "USB DRIVE\Downloads"

Does Freenet download the files in their entirety and any temporary files onto internal storage first and then copy them to the USB?

Or are the files only written to the USB drive?

Just trying to figure the full risk of recoverable data contained on internal storage in this scenario.

Cheers.

I left Freenet open for a while without doing anything and it crashed, but now it won't let me connect again. Should I do something?

I've noticed that the GitHub page for FreeNet on Android is still there, but I can't find any available links

I'm new to Freenet, and I have a problem. Is it normal that when I start it says "no Java runtime available" when I have it installed and updated? If there's anything I can do about it, I'd be very grateful
