Freenet (also spelled FreeNet) is a decentralized, censorship-resistant distributed data store. Freenet aims to provide freedom of speech through a peer-to-peer network with strong protection of anonymity. As part of supporting its users' freedom, Freenet is free and open source software. Freenet works by pooling the contributed bandwidth and storage space of member computers to allow users to anonymously publish or retrieve various kinds of information. Freenet has been under continuous development since 2000.

- Ultra-hyped P2P network that never quite got off the ground. Originally created by Ian Clarke, its self-promotion revolves around total anonymity.
- Freenet is a free P2P network that is designed for free Anonymous sharing of information and circumvention of censorship schemes. Unlike other "hidden networks" such as I2P and Tor, Freenet is using an original transport protocol; while that doesn't allow for creation of dynamic websites, it allows the hosted contents to stay available even if the original hoster is not available. The information is shared among multiple peers according to its popularity, so that content, once uploaded, will not be deleted as long as users are still interested in it.

Freenet works by pooling the contributed bandwidth and storage space of member computers to allow users to anonymously publish or retrieve various kinds of information. It can be thought of as a large storage device which uses key based routing similar to a distributed hash table to locate peers' data. When a file is stored in Freenet, a key which can be used to retrieve the file is generated. The storage space is distributed among all connected nodes on Freenet.

The information is shared among multiple peers according to its popularity, so that content, once uploaded, will not be deleted as long as users are still interested in it. Freenet's way of functioning has attracted users of many kinds, starting from hackers uploading their leaks and paranoid editors from the whole political spectrum and ending with paedophiles uploading child pornography or anarchists' instructions on making explosives.

Freenet has been under continuous development since 2000; a version 1.0 has not yet been released but current builds are practically usable. The project has already seen a ground-up rewrite for version 0.7, however. Released under the GNU General Public License, Freenet is free software.
