How do I make FProxy accept connections from any computer, rather than just allowing connections from my own?

In your freenet.conf or freenet.ini file, add the line:

fproxy.bindAddress=*

And comment out or remove the,

fproxy.allowedHosts=blahblah

line if it exists.

I had trouble getting my Freenet 0.4 node onto the 'net, but it seems to be working fine. However, I need to restart it. Will I have to reseed the node?

No. When you seeded the node and successfully connected to the Freenet at large, entries for newly-discovered external nodes were added to your node's routing table. Barring bugs, the routing table stays populated between restarts, so your node should automatically 'remember' all of the ones that it previously discovered upon restart.

How do I get Freenet working with a Firewall/NAT?

Edit your freenet.conf or freenet.ini file, change the ipAddress setting to be the IP address of your firewall or NAT. Also note the listenPort setting, or change it to whatever port you want Freenet to listen on.

You now need to configure your firewall/NAT to forward incoming connections on the listenPort to the computer on which you Freenet node is running. Many modern firewalls and NATs have a web interface to do this, or if you do not administer the firewall, you will need to ask your system administrator to do this.

(Why no passive-mode-like functions to enable NATed machines to use freenet? It is, after all, pretty common in campuses etc. Feel free to insert link to relevant information explaining the reasoning behind this, or a one-liner)

How do I extract the necessary seedNode values from my own node?

java Freenet.node.Node --export myreference.ref

Make sure your classpath is okay or use -cp/-classpath.

Alternative, under Windows, the windows_systray_app|systray application can be used:

* Right-click the freenet icon in the systray * Select 'Export Ref' from the popup menu. You will be asked to provide a filename and the seedNode will then be exported.

What is fproxy?

FProxy is a Freenet plugin included and switched on by default which allows you to access Freenet through your web browser. If you are using Freenet now you are probably already using FProxy. In practical terms, this means that you can surf Freenet as you might surf the World Wide Web.

Why are there so many messages in my logfile with a backtrace attached?

The development version (0.4) of fred outputs a backtrace if a log entry is triggered by an exception. To turn it quiet you must change the java source in Freenet/support/StandardLogger.java the relevant parts are calls to printStackTrace

How can I zap my data store?

java -jar freenet.jar --resetDS

How do I generate a pair of SSK-keys?

fcpputsite -g
