The pubgrid was disabled on 2011-07-24. See <http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2011-July/006572.html>.
The introducer was later reenabled, but there will be no public gateway.
# The Public Test Grid

## Cautions
The canonical way to access tahoe-lafs grids is to run your own client node. Having one's own node is necessary for the data that should remain private (plaintext, capabilities) to remain on your computers, while storage nodes provide storage of ciphertext. However, the pubgrid has a publically-accessible gateway; using this means plaintext of files and capabilities are exposed on the Internet. Even worse, writing to the publically-writable test directory (below) means that others can see and change your files.

Do not confuse the security properties one gets with tahoe when running a client node with how the public web interface behaves.

## Publically writeable test directory
[the publically writeable directory through pubgrid.tahoe-lafs.org](http://pubgrid.tahoe-lafs.org/uri/URI%3ADIR2%3Actmtx2awdo4xt77x5xxaz6nyxm%3An5t546ddvd6xlv4v6se6sjympbdbvo7orwizuzl42urm73sxazqa/). Note that anyone may view and change this data.
