Hyphanet

I sent this email to many of my friends to regain confidential private communication. If you want to do the same, feel free to reuse the text-version (be sure to replace the noderef textblock with your own noderef from http://127.0.0.1:8888/friends/myref.txt). This text is also available in Hyphanet.

About 10% of my friends joined - which is enough to build the darknet and makes it possible for me to speak freely again.

First: The Essence of this text:

I’ve been censoring my emails for years. Not just what I write, but also whom and when.

Hyphanet allows me to write invisible messages to my friends. Those are messages I do not need to censor. They give me freedom. Surveillance can show that we could write, but not whether, when or what we actually write. If Hyphanet is used for that, it needs very little resources.

This is how to connect:

1. Download and install Hyphanet from https://www.hyphanet.org or https://www.hyphanet.org
2. in the automatically opened setup wizard select “only friends”
3. Copy the textblock¹ you got with my email and paste it into the textfield on http://127.0.0.1:8888/addfriend/
4. Then just send me what Hyphanet shows on the page http://127.0.0.1:8888/friends/myref.txt (attach it to an email or just copy it into the email)

As soon as I add you, too, we are connected. We can then write messages via the friends page (click my name):

• Write message: http://127.0.0.1:8888/friends/
• Read messages: http://127.0.0.1:8888/alerts/
