the service and therefore do not provide any virus protection

1.6 What does it cost?
A fundamental service is provided for free. It is restricted in bandwidth and the
number of simultaneous streams, and there is a time limit for the connection between
the client and the servers (but you may reconnect immediately).
number of simultaneous streams, and there is a time limit for the connection between
the client and the servers (but you may reconnect immediately).
We provide upgrade packages that reduce or remove the bandwidth restriction and
that allow for more simultaneous streams, and there are server ports that you can
use to allow inbound connections to your PC or another PC in your network. The
packages are available as one month, three months, six months or twelve months
upgrades, and come in three different levels that we call BasicFreedom,
EnhancedFreedom, and TotalFreedom. Details can be found in chapter 3.2 on page
48 of this guide.

1.7 Is Your Freedom “Spyware” or “AdWare”?
No! Rest assured that the Your Freedom client does not contain any code to spy on
you or to cause any annoyances (other than the restrictions of the FreeFreedom
service, which are of course there to convince you of the benefits of buying a
package). The only reason why we don’t publish the source code is because much of
the code is also used in the server, and we don’t want to expose it. Also, we don’t
want to unnecessarily help those developing blocking appliances.

The servers do a certain amount of logging, however, but we do not log any details
about your streams other than when they started, when they ended, and how much
data was transferred. This is purely for statistical reasons, and the logfile data is not
kept on the connectivity servers themselves but on a central server in Germany.

Also, there is a control console on the servers that allows us to see what users are
currently doing (but not any content). We only use this for troubleshooting, and all
data there is transient and not stored anywhere. The moment you log off it’s all gone.
And believe us, we have better ways to pass our time than peeping on you.

1.8 How many servers do you have? Are they all the same?
At the time of writing we have 12 servers online, in 5 different countries. All will be
able to support basic web surfing or chatting but some will refuse P2P connections
(namely the ones located in the United States). Some can handle more traffic than
others. Have a look at the live statistics page at

servers that are not in the “p2p” server group are not suitable for P2P applications,
servers that are not in the “volume” group are not suitable for large file transfers, and
so on – you’ll get the drift.

group, but this may change.

Actually this is not entirely accurate. Outbound mail sent through Your Freedom is scanned for
viruses. We do this to avoid blacklisting of our IP addresses, which would make it impossible for our
users to send email through Your Freedom. It does not protect you, it protects others from you.
