Try Freenet in your browser
Try Freenet right now, no install. This opens River, a group chat app that runs as a peer-to-peer Freenet contract, and drops you into the live Freenet Official room where the project’s developers and users talk. No account, no download.
You’re using our peer, not your own. Everything else here is the
real thing: the real River app, the real Freenet network, the same room people running their own
peers are in. The one difference is that the peer talking to the network is one we host, so your
keys live with us. They’re encrypted with your access key, so while you’re not using it even we
can’t read them. Install your own peer anytime and export your data to it in one
click.

Ready to run your own peer?
What you do here really happens on Freenet, so the only piece you’re borrowing is the peer itself. Running your own takes a couple of minutes and closes that gap: your keys stay on your machine, and your computer joins the network instead of leaning on ours.
