Quick answers
Is it really free?
Yes. No cost, subscription or donation. Idle bandwidth tasks fund the trees, not you.
Will it slow my computer or internet?
No. It only uses bandwidth you are not using and backs off when you need it.
What passes through my connection?
Automated requests from paying clients, like uptime checks. Your files, logins and browsing history never enter the process.
Which Linux systems work?
The first release is a 64-bit .deb for x64 systems that support Debian packages.
How do I uninstall it?
Remove IdleForest with your software or package manager. Trees you already funded stay funded.
Use your computer like always. Trees get planted.
