How anonymous is Freenet?
It’s virtually anonymous. What you view or post on the network is very unlikely to be able to be viewed by another party (assuming they aren’t looking over your sholder). If you’re really worried about your anonymity, run Freenet from a cybercafe where you don’t have to identify yourself. On the other hand, this approach to anonmity only works in semi-free counties, and certainly doesn’t work in China anymore. In short, Freenet is as anonymous as you can get on the Internet. It’s better than www.anonymizer.com, better than freedom.net, and certainly better than using the web, but as always, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you want privacy for fetching your mp3’s or porn, then you should be fine. If you really are a dissident needing to publish or retrieve information anonymously,you should wait.
