GNUnet is a free and open-source infrastructure for decentralized, peer-to-peer networking and secure communication. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing GNUnet on FreeBSD Latest.
Before you begin, ensure that you have a FreeBSD Latest installation with superuser privileges.
GNUnet requires several dependencies to operate correctly. To install these dependencies, open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pkg install gnunet
This command will download and install all the required dependencies for GNUnet.
GNUnet uses ports 2086 and 2087 for communication. Therefore, you need to ensure that these ports are open in the firewall.
To open these ports, you can use the following commands:
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=2086/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=2087/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
To start the GNUnet service, you can use the following command:
sudo gnunet-arm -s
This command will start the GNUnet service in the background. To check the status of the GNUnet service, enter the following command:
sudo gnunet-arm -e
To join the GNUnet network, enter the following command:
gnunet-gtk
This command will launch the GNUnet GUI. In the GUI, click on the "Connect" button to join the GNUnet network.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GNUnet on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start using GNUnet to communicate securely and create peer-to-peer networks.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
