Basic Configuration

Your YaCy Peer needs some basic information to operate properly

Select a language for the interface:

(repeat same password)
#(statusName)# Your peer name has not been customized; please set your own peer name:: You have a nice peer name#(/statusName)#

Peer Name:
#(statusPort)# Your peer cannot be reached from outside (what is not fatal, but would be good for the YaCy network); please open your firewall for this port and/or set a virtual server option in your router to allow connections on this port.:: Your peer can be reached by other peers#(/statusPort)#

What you should do next:

#(nextStep)#

Your basic configuration is complete! You can now (for example):

start an uncensored search;
start your own crawl and contribute to the global index, or create your own private web index;
set a personal peer profile (optional settings);
just monitor at the network page what the other peers are doing

You did not set a user name and/or a password. Some pages are protected by passwords. You should set a password here to secure your YaCy peer.

Your Peer name is a default name; please set another peer name. If this does not work, the name is probably taken by someone else. Please try to choose another one.

You did not open a port in your firewall or your router does not forward the server port to your peer. This is needed if you want to fully participate in the YaCy network. You can also use your peer without opening it, but this is not recomended.

The peer port was changed successfully. Your browser will be redirected to the new location in 10 seconds.
