Generate Your Own

Running freedom.py from the command line will generate a fresh freedom.txt file after a little prompting.

Add your new link to locations.txt as a seperate line in order to have the script automattically add it.

The following will add a custom freedom.txt into the local directory:

$ python freedom.py 
What is your name? Michael Van Veen
Hi, my name is Michael Van Veen and I own this website. I no longer wish to
stay Anonymous in the fight against internet censorship and those who want to
close down our internet.

An open internet is more important than the interests of nation states.
Governments have failed us because of ignorance & corruption. They must be
fought.

An open internet is more important than corporations. They have failed us
because of their natural greed. They must be changed.

An open internet is more important than security, copyright infringement,
terrorism or child pornography. We will not be fooled by the strategies of
fear employed by those who wish to censor us.

A closed internet is a tool of oppression. An open internet is a weapon of
mass creation. Pick your sides. Create your own freedom.txt on your websites.

Where should I write file to [freedom.txt]? 

writing file... OK

/etc/hosts Integration

experimental: Now supports /etc/hosts integration!

Running with the --with-hosts flag will add in your /etc/hosts file.

hosts_file:
  broadcasthost:
    - 255.255.255.255
  localhost:
    - 127.0.0.1
    - ::1
    - fe80::1%lo0

The --hosts-file switchoff will let you specify a custom hosts location to read from.

Finally, --write-hosts will write a HOSTS file in your local directory.

$python freedom.py --hosts-file=/etc/hosts --write-hosts

default output ensues...

writing file [HOSTS]... OK

$ freedom.txt git:(etc_hosts) ✗ cat HOSTS
