Sure did. Works as I reckoned, but it then also means that the 'safe peers' part of it is slightly impaired, as you HAVE to do node-ref exchanges to the 'inside', with people you've probably only talked briefly with, to get the full Freenet working. And I guess the 'auto-update' feature only works through there.<br>
<br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/6/8 <a href="mailto:freenetwork@web.de">freenetwork@web.de</a> <<a href="mailto:freenetwork@web.de">freenetwork@web.de</a>>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
If these ten nodes are only interconnected with themselves they -of<br>
course- have no access to the larger network and therefore form a small<br>
private, albeit darknet, network.<br>
If one of the nodes is connected to the "global" darknet, then the ten<br>
nodes have access to the global darknet but routing might be impaired as<br>
the other nine nodes will not connect to the darknet.<br>
<br>
Opennet is a completely different story as nodes are seeded by seednodes<br>
(therefore private networks are possible if the nodes don't access the<br>
seednodes, but by default opennet nodes ask seednodes).<br>
Also opennet nodes do swap informations about their peers, so nodes<br>
without knowledge of other nodes might come across new noderefs and<br>
connect to previously unknown nodes to enhance connectivity.<br>
<br>
Hope this helped<br>
