 Unlike certain other self-hosting projects Freedombone has more emphasis on security and privacy. When installed on a Beaglebone Black it uses the built-in hardware random number generator as an entropy source and all communications with the box are encrypted by default using the recommendations from https://bettercrypto.org. The firewall is configured to only allow communications on the necessary ports and to drop all other packets, icmp is disabled by default and time synchronisation occurs via TLS only.
