~- Download seed nodes∞ and place the file in your node's directory.
- Go to the Configuration page of your node, and enable the opennet switch ("promiscuous mode"). Note that opennet uses a different UDP port than darknet does. If you need to forward this port through your router, then do that.
- Restart the node.

Additions:
An opennet, for Freenet purposes, is a network where connections are automatically created by the node. The node comes prepackaged with a list of seed nodes to which the node may connect. Once a connection is established between the node and the seed nodes, the seed nodes provide a list of more nodes to connect to, and they do they same, etc. This process happens continually while the node is running, without any user intervention.

Security
Though opennet is much easier for the user (compared to creating connections in a DarkNet), it is vulnerable to harvesting, and therefore can be blocked very easily.
This was a known problem with Freenet 0.5, and it led to it being blocked by the evil Chinese firewall.

An "open", harvestable network. One where you can simply download the node from the project website, with a list of seednodes, and your node will automatically connect to them, and once connected the network will provide more nodes to connect to continually. As opposed to DarkNet. OpenNet is easier for the user, but unfortunately it is vulnerable to harvesting and therefore can be blocked very easily by for example the evil Chinese firewall.
