Is it possible to access GNUnet via a browser as an anonymous WWW?Ī: There is currently no proxy (like fproxy in Freenet) for GNUnet that would make it accessible via a browser. We recommend that you use Tor for anonymous surfing. Is it possible to surf the WWW anonymously with GNUnet?Ī: It is not possible use GNUnet for anonymous browsing at this point. Naturally, the implementation and documentation of some of the features that exist are more advanced than others.įor users, GNUnet offers anonymous and non-anonymous file-sharing, a fully decentralized and censorship-resistant replacement for DNS and a mechanism for IPv4-IPv6 protocol translation and tunneling (NAT-PT with DNS-ALG). Features What can I do with GNUnet?Ī: GNUnet is a peer-to-peer framework, by which we mostly mean that it can do more than just one thing. While a ledger could be built using GNUnet, we currently have no plans in doing so. GNUnet is a new network protocol stack for building secure, distributed, and privacy-preserving applications. We are currently in the process of rewriting it (Project "Transport Next Generation ") Is GNUnet build using distributed ledger technologies?Ī: No. Your mileage will vary depending on the functionality you use, but you will always likely run into issues with our current low-level transport system. It is largely not yet ready for usage beyond developers. Is GNUnet ready for use on production systems?Ī: GNUnet is still undergoing major development. I2P is written in Java, and has (asymmetric) tunnels using onion (or garlic) routing as the basis for various (anonymized) applications. However, on the technical side, there are almost no overlaps. How does GNUnet compare to I2P?Ī: Both GNUnet and I2P want to build a better, more secure, more decentralized Internet. GNUnet does not really have one focus our theme is secure decentralized networking, but that is too broad to be called a focus. How does GNUnet compare to Tor?Ī: Tor focuses on anonymous communication and censorship-resistance for TCP connections and, with the Tor Browser Bundle, for the Web in particular. If the CPU load is creating a problem for you, you can set the value "WORKDELAY" in the "nse" section of your configuration file to a higher value. The calculation is expected to take a few days, depending on how fast your CPU is. Why does gnunet-service-nse create a high CPU load?Ī: The gnunet-service-nse process will initially compute a so-called "proof-of-work" which is used to convince the network that your peer is real (or, rather, make it expensive for an adversary to mount a Sybil attack on the network size estimator). The package contains various GTK+ based graphical interfaces, including a graphical tool for configuration. Is there a graphical user interface?Ī: gnunet-gtk is a separate download. If you believe a bug is sensitive, you can set its view status to private (this should be the exception). Please report bugs directly to the bug tracking system. This is discouraged since developers often do not have the time to feed these bugs back into the Mantis database. ![]() Some bugs are occasionally reported directly to developers or the developer mailing list. Are there any known bugs?Ī: We track the list of currently known bugs in the Mantis system. Is the code free?Ī: GNUnet is free software, available under the GNU Affero Public License (AGPL). ![]() You can subscribe to the mailing list or the RSS feed of this site to automatically receive a notification. Every release will be anounced on the mailing list and on planet GNU. A better answer may be: earlier if you contribute (test, debug, code, document). When are you going to release the next version?Ī: The general answer is, when it is ready. You can read additional documentation or ask the question on the mailing list. What do I do if my question is not answered here?Ī: There are many other sources of information.
