You don't live in a police state. My Russian friends definitely do. You can easily get a large fine (on the order of 2 average monthly salaries), or 5-10 years in prison for stating your political opinion on the internet. There are many countries like that and I am not at all surprised that the top comment does not even acknowledge their existence.

Running Freenet in a place like Russia without using at least a VPN that pops you out somewhere else is probably a ton riskier than in more free places.

Tools like this aren’t that helpful unless the tool itself is very stealth.
