Dead gateway, looking for input
by Tom Cardinal 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Greetings, My gateway bit the dust and I need to start from scratch. I have two possible approaches. 1. I have an older Edgerouter Lite. Has anyone cracked the nut on connectivity to other AMPR nodes in the mesh? 2. I’m considering buying a new microtik router. Is there a suggested model? Would like to get back on 44net but want to stay away from the “roll your own” Linux system as Ubuntu has changed their network manager to netplan. Suggestions welcome. — tom Tom Cardinal / MSgt USAF (Ret) / N2XU / BSCS / CASP+

Do we support GRE?
by Mark Phillips 24 Feb '19

24 Feb '19

Hi folks, Trying to get my pfSense firewall to talk directly on AMPRnet and am wondering about GRE. Do we support this? It looks like the only way I can get pfSense to do AMPRnet is to forward everything to an internal host and do things there. I can do BGP but I don't have enough addresses space for that (I only have a /27). Thanks Mark G7LTT

Where to get BGP subnet list?
by Steve L 24 Feb '19

24 Feb '19

>From time to time testing various setups I need to determine if the remote 44 host is IPIP or BGP so that I can verify everything is working etc. I used to grep this, but apparently this is not current? http://thyme.rand.apnic.net/current/data-add-ARIN Does anyone know of an up to date source? I used to test new installs against hambook.de.ampr.org (44.225.164.16) as I know this is not reachable via the normal internet, but is via 44net. It used to be via an IPIP tunnel. I don't see it in my routes, so it must be via BGP now, but I don't see it from the above source. Thanks

So very sorry everyone. Sometime after I sent my message, the computer I was using for 44Net had issues so everyone that tested found they couldn’t reach me. Please try again, this time; VA7LBB.ampr.org or 44.135.179.19. It is up. Port 80 is open. It does work! It just doesn’t seem to work on Cellular networks. At least not for me. Please let me know what you find, and if you have any suggestions. Roger VA7LBB

defective entries in the encap file?
by Brian Kantor 24 Feb '19

24 Feb '19

There are a few entries in the encap file which are for subnets that are NOT indicated as tunnel-routed subnets. They are apparently in the portal database with the Tunnel attribute UNchecked, but they have a gateway associated with them. Perhaps this is because they at one time *were* tunnel-routed but converted to direct (BGP) routing. Anyway, I believe they should NOT be in the encap file because they are NOT IPIP tunnel-routed. These are 44.48.8.0/22 44.56.128.0/24 44.131.7.0/24 44.182.62.0/24 If any of these are your network, please delete their association with a gateway, or check the Tunnel box. - Brian

Cellular networks

Hello, I finally got my AMPRnet tunnel up and running. I have dns and a few A names. Everything seemed fine until I tried reaching one of my machines using my cellphone over the Cellular Network. It just times out. Here’s a test page. Ve7mov.ampr.org. Is this normal. I can’t imagine this is a config problem on my end Thanks Roger VA7LBB

Re: [44net] IPv6
by Rob Janssen 23 Feb '19

> An interesting report on the adoption of IPv6 by the Internet at large. Very interesting indeed! It discusses all those aspects that have slowed down IPv6 adoption. My ISP (which also hosts our gateway system) was amongst the early adopters and I have also experimented early, but abandoned it due to the "no benefits and only problems" situation. But later, when those were mostly cured, I again enabled IPv6 on my network. Problems caused by running dual-stack are now rare, but still it does not really have any benefits. So it is understandable that it is adopted so slowly. Unfortunately it is not only ISPs that affect it. Our beloved router manufacturer MikroTik has mostly left IPv6 as an orphan. There is an add-on package with some basic IPv6 functionality but most of the nice features available everwhere in the system are only for IPv4. This has held me back to experiment with IPv6 on our section of AMPRnet, as these routers are widely used. Rob

How to allow central gateway to support small gateways that use dynamic IP ?
by R P 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

Hi there We consider to advertise part of our Country AMPRNET IP Network allocation via BGP to a small DataCenter We want from there to allow users to have a gateways that will have IPIP tunnel to it. By that we will decrease the latency of the IPIP tunnel that goes to UCSD and back and also hopefully get a much bigger bandwidth (from the data center and not from the UCSD limitations) What Do we need to have in the Data Center in order to Support it ? Is there any expert here that may direct the Software person (if it is a software solution) in our team ? to do it ? any info would be appreciated Regards Ronen - 4Z4ZQ http://www.ronen.org Ronen Pinchooks (4Z4ZQ) WebSite<http://www.ronen.org/> About me .

Can't seem to grasp something
by pete M 20 Feb '19

HI every one, I have an alocation and registered a gateway to do ipip encapsulation to finally be able to run a gateway inside my local lan. The gateway is a debain 9 computer with 2 nic. one connected to my lan (eth0) and another wich will have the 44 net address network (eth1) I already put the first adress of the 44 allocation that I have on eth1. eth0 is for now on dhcp. Now I've been reading, reading and re reading the wiki. there are so much stuff that I am lost. In my case, what deamon do I need? looking at this web page: http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ so is it ampr-ripd 2.4?? amprd 2.1?? there are also script that I found out about.. http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Startampr#Script I got this configured. But I am really not sure of what I am supposed to do with it. And on the wiki page there are allusion to some hourly script running to backup the rip table. where are those? Anyone can point me in the good direction so that I can finally have this running? Thanks Pierre VE2PF
