Its purpose is: "the promotion, use and development of the Internet and Usenet networks in accordance with their ethics, in particular by encouraging non-commercial use for research and educational purposes",[1] "the defense of public liberties on the Internet and the defense of the neutrality of telecommunication networks".[2]

FDN is the oldest Internet service provider in France still in business, offering PSTN dial-up (since 1992), ADSL (since 2005), VPN (since 2013) and FTTH (since 2022) access to its members. It is a founding member of Gitoyen, a non-profit tier 2 operator.
