FreedomBox 0.1 released
The very first release of the FreedomBox software has been announced.
"This 0.1 version is primarily a developer release, which means that
it focuses on architecture and infrastructure rather than finish work. The
exception to this is privoxy-freedombox, the web proxy discussed in
previous updates, which people can begin using right now to make their web
browsing more secure and private and which will very soon be available on
non-FreedomBox systems."

Great news. A release with some functionality, even which doesn't have nearly as much as is planned, is a great step, and a good counterpoint to the occasional claims of it being 'vaporware'. I hope this (plus the news that Bdale is retiring from HP) gives the project renewed momentum.

The inclusion of privoxy [1] is very welcome. With more and more closed devices full of sensors in the home, keeping tabs on the traffic these devices generate is essential in any attempt at maintaining of figment of privacy.
Privoxy comes with a web configuration tool so it is pretty easy to use.
