Case Study: Freenet modernizes its anonymity platform with Redwerk

Freenet restores search and boosts file uploads to 15 GB with Redwerk

Freenet, an open-source P2P software for online anonymity, faced challenges with low speed, file loss, outdated code, and a complex user interface. They engaged the vendor Redwerk for software and legacy maintenance to modernize the platform and improve its performance for users.

Redwerk applied its Java expertise to refactor code, fix bugs, and upgrade Freenet's core and plugins. The solution repaired video playback, improved the UI, increased maximum file size, and restored the search index. The results included a modernized codebase, enhanced functionality, and a better user experience, helping Freenet retain existing users and attract new participants.
