Introduction

This is FCPproxy, it is a part of the Freenet FCPtools package, and allows you to access Freenet through your web browser.

You can use FCPproxy full-time as a regular http proxy server It has a switchable anonymity filter that's more accurate than FProxy If you set your browser to use FCPproxy as its proxy server, then any hits to URLs beginning with 'http://free/' will get treated as Freenet requests, and passed to Freenet, while other URLs are (web block permitting) forwarded to the mainstream web.

For your anonymity, FCPproxy has a web filter that's normally on by default. It will stay on until or unless you disable it by making a request to 'http://free/noblock?password', where password is the web block password you specified with the '-w' command-line option. For more information on this, run fcpproxy -h

You can return to this page at any time by pointing your browser to http://localhost:8888, or http://127.0.0.1:portnum, where 'portnum' is the port number (usually 8888) you've got FCPproxy set to

Requesting keys from Freenet

To request a file you must know the "key". At present, there are not many stable freesites within the 0.4 freenet, but you can expect this to grow very soon.

Be aware that it can take up to a minute or more for anything you click on to come through from Freenet. Your node will learn how to query the network more efficiently as you use it, and so you will notice that performance improves with time.

Additionally, the more popular the key you are requesting the less time it will take.

The reason for the delay is that Freenet must search for information in a manner that protects your anonymity. FCPproxy has been designed a bit like the old FProxy, so that if you download a web-page from Freenet, the page can have hyperlinks to other documents within Freenet which FProxy will download as if you had just clicked on a hyperlink on the WWW.

Inserting files into Freenet

There are several tools for the insertion of files and even whole websites into Freenet, including:

• GJ's Manifest tools - famous, java-based tools for inserting and leeching entire freesites. Very stable. Platform-independent.
• fcpputsite - linux and windows - part of the FCPtools package - inserts a whole site
• fcpput - linux and windows - part of FCPtools - inserts a single file
• FreeWeb - windows only - super-easy graphical site insertion program
