So hey, IPFS works with a Tor/OnionCat-linked proxy even better than Freenet does :) Or LizardFS. Because IPFS is a bloody swarm, and it seems fine with latency. Also, as with Freenet, it seems possible to extend the IPFS swarm into OnionCat IPv6 address space. So one could add stuff to IPFS from several onions, access it via IPFS gateways (clearnet and onion) and tolerate considerable loss of source onions. And speed is impressive! My Freenet/OnionCat guide at erehwon.dev.null <http://dbshmc5frbchaum2.onion/Freenet-OnionCat.html> loads rather slowly, given high latency with multiple proxy layers. But after adding from my node to IPFS, it loads quickly via the official IPFS gateway: <https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmP9FXUN3t8yUJnJerkj57cfzFYbgPmKV2QsCY8M2NHFqf /Freenet-OnionCat.html>. It also loads quickly via a volunteer public onion gateway: <http://ipfs4uvgthshqonk.onion/ipfs/ QmP9FXUN3t8yUJnJerkj57cfzFYbgPmKV2QsCY8M2NHFqf/Freenet-OnionCat.html>. The downside is that, by default, nodes route for the entire IPFS swarm. That currently means ~2 GB per day. But that can be decreased substantially by running in dhtclient mode. OnionCat-only nodes would be probably be OK with that, and only clearnet/OnionCat gateways would need full routing. Alternatively, one could have an isolated IPFS swarm in OnionCat IPv6 address space, with much less throughput.
