What is Freifunk?

Freifunk is a decentralized free WiFi network that mainly connects computers and mobile devices - and with a connection to the broad Internet. The network is established by people setting up a WiFi router at their window sill and thus making Freifunk available.

Here at this website you will get to know our Freifunk goal and why it is a good idea to join us.

Freifunk Bodensee

Freifunk is an initiative for free communication in digital networks. We establish publicly available, non-commercial networks that are owned by the society and that are free of censorship or filters.

Freifunk is a decentralized, independent community network with access to the Internet.
Everyone can connect to the WiFi network - without password, without registration. Everyone can use, join or participate in Freifunk.

Free wireless networks are set up and maintained by you and us autonomously. Every person sets up a WiFi router for the data transfer of others. That way we create a free infrastructure. For everyone.

Freifunk is a non-commercial initiative for free wireless networks.

Join us. And share you network with your fellows.
