Exactly this vulnerability is why we try to get Freenet users to use Freenet as proxy with random local IP (127.x.y.z) and PORT.

That way an attacker needs roughly 200 billion requests on average to find the local service (using only 5001..32000 as ports, because they are sure not to be ephemeral).
