Coordinator bug?
by Pedja YT9TP 08 Jan '17

08 Jan '17

I am country coordinator. I have administrative options meant for coordinator, but I lost options ordinary user has: for example I cannot apply for an IP allocation. Is this a bug, or I am missing to find this option in portal menu? 73 Pedja YT9TP --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

System patch to pass 44net protocols through pfSense
by Luzemário Dantas 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

Hi guys, Anyone of you do use pfSense? I want a clue about forwarding 44net protocols on it without manual editing. It is FreeBSD based, but I want to get the webConfigurator way to get 44net trafic forwarded to my Linux Debian box. PfSense allows NATting 44net protocols to a Linux box. But it's webConfigurator does not show all protocols to be listed in the NAT configuration page. Despite all IP protocols being supported in "/etc/protocols", only the most common protocols are listed in the protocols drop-down of NAT configuration page (it is a webConfigurator limitation). There is a workaround by editing system files, but I am wondering if someone already have a system patch handy to add the needed protocols without manual editing, by using only the "System Patches" package. I don't like the idea of myself editing system files, since I don't know too much PHP programming. PfSense has a System Patches package wich makes easy to change system components (easy for the ones that understand it). Can someone help me to build a system patch to show 44net protocols in the NAT protocol drop-down menu? There are some comments on the link below, but I could not figure out how to do so by making a system patch, so anyone could apply the patch without manual editing. Thanks for your comments. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=64060.msg346690#msg346690 73 de PT2LDR Luzemario

Chris, Did you go to the http://www.yo2loj.ro/ site and go to the Ham projects subpage? It has a newer version of the script than what is mentioned on the Wiki (Wiki has to be updated) Rob

mikrotik

Hi, I followed the wiki on using a Mikrotik as a gateway to the 44 net but I seem to be stuck. I watch the tunnel go up and down but I never get any farther. Does anyone have a little more complete setup procedure? Thanks, Chris --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

hello everybody, i greet you all (Ronen included) for your kind answers; Brian : <<...have to get your connectivity via one of the commercial or government satellite services...>> Feel it the more suitable solution. <<....you can find a charity that will fund or donate the necessary equipment or service....>> just 2 words about: have distance-adopted a daughter, if I need charity the whole question become a nonsense.... it is my duty and pleasure to get rid of matter. Michael : <<...it would not be a legal solution.>> hahaha! thank you for the adivce, but will not encrypt anything and care not so much about what U.S.A. laws states; just like to reach a daughter and feel nobody can dislike it. <<...amateur radio is probably not a viable solution for your application...>> I agree, will move to satellite equipment & services Bill : <<...this is a fit for Outernet...>> maybe, but file transfer lead to a "misuse" of resources even if will be able to fool the content constraints (no personal messages are allowed); feel it can't fit requirements. anyway: thank you very much for your time and suggestions, my research is now better directed. wish you all great day.

Perhaps this is a fit for Outernet ?

While it is true that amateur radio can communicate over long distances, it can only do so at extremely slow data rates, far too slow for internet use. The only way I can think of for you to accomplish the connection you seek is to use satellite communications. There are indeed amateur radio satellites, but none of them handle the kind of data that would be needed for internet use. I believe you will have to get your connectivity via one of the commercial or government satellite services. In the USA, this is not expensive, but I have no idea how much it would cost for Bangladesh. Perhaps you can find a charity that will fund or donate the necessary equipment or service. I wish you the best of luck. - Brian On Tue, Jan 03, 2017 at 12:39:28PM +0100, Alessandro Spinella wrote: > (Please trim inclusions from previous messages) > _______________________________________________ > hello everybody, > > let me shortly present myself and the matter: working in IT for more than 30 years, experienced with network devices (switch, routers, firewalls, IDS/IPS), programming (C and some others), good knowledge on protocols and RFCs; hosts under my control are not allowed to run anything else than FreeBSD. > > but absolutely not experienced about radio transmission/devices/requirements so had carefully read http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Quickstart and feel it is not suitable for my problem: I am looking how to arrange for an internet-connected PC located somewhere in a remote village of Bangladesh with no local power source. > > while it seem almost easy to power the PC with solar-cells battery is it not clear for me: > > - if and how is possible to use 44net to internet-connect the remote site via RF, feel it just a matter to have sufficient "radio power" to reach a 44net bridge, a PC/router and some radio devices but unsure. > - what kind of radio devices are suitable for that use (or: how far can radio waves go with a "poor" power source?) > - locations (if any) of local-radio-amateur joined in 44net that can bridge some internet traffic from/to such a "leaf-site" > > moreover my limit are: > > - money: while it's a personal initiative have no founding except my incoming and thus cheap is a must > - reliability: can't be on site to fix any possible problem as them arise, so "good" devices are required > > as stated in RFC1925 : <<good, fast, cheap: choose two, you can't have all three>> implies that am aware that "fast" can't be get; just need directions and some "good" reference for the HW where I can learn details as power requirements and for the SW (but I guess 44net is the right place). > > wish you nice day > > > $witch > _________________________________________ > 44Net mailing list > 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu > http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net

hello everybody, let me shortly present myself and the matter: working in IT for more than 30 years, experienced with network devices (switch, routers, firewalls, IDS/IPS), programming (C and some others), good knowledge on protocols and RFCs; hosts under my control are not allowed to run anything else than FreeBSD. but absolutely not experienced about radio transmission/devices/requirements so had carefully read http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Quickstart and feel it is not suitable for my problem: I am looking how to arrange for an internet-connected PC located somewhere in a remote village of Bangladesh with no local power source. while it seem almost easy to power the PC with solar-cells battery is it not clear for me: - if and how is possible to use 44net to internet-connect the remote site via RF, feel it just a matter to have sufficient "radio power" to reach a 44net bridge, a PC/router and some radio devices but unsure. - what kind of radio devices are suitable for that use (or: how far can radio waves go with a "poor" power source?) - locations (if any) of local-radio-amateur joined in 44net that can bridge some internet traffic from/to such a "leaf-site" moreover my limit are: - money: while it's a personal initiative have no founding except my incoming and thus cheap is a must - reliability: can't be on site to fix any possible problem as them arise, so "good" devices are required as stated in RFC1925 : <<good, fast, cheap: choose two, you can't have all three>> implies that am aware that "fast" can't be get; just need directions and some "good" reference for the HW where I can learn details as power requirements and for the SW (but I guess 44net is the right place). wish you nice day $witch
