I had reached out to the good people at GL.iNet and asked for help getting
one of their openWRT routers to run my 44 net assignment. I referred them
to the page explaining openWRT setup (
wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_gateway_on_OpenWRT) and requested they
compile an executable for the processor in the router.
Apparently they did it. It will be a bit before I can try to configure it
but its a one click installation. It's available to anyone with a GL.iNet
router product, just navigate to Applications -> Plugins and Update, then
navigate to the R section. I have a screencap of all the dependencies it
installed if anyone is interested.
I reached out to them because I've failed on my previous attempts to set up
an EdgerouterX for my assignment... I am by no means a network engineer,
this is my foray into getting a gateway going. If anyone could confirm this
works that would be great. If you're willing to help me get mine going that
would be even better.

Hello all,
In 2018 I requested and received a /24 allocation and permission to announce it via BGP. My ISP/NSP, MonkeyBrains.net, very graciously agreed to route it to my house as part of my normal residential service. (Quite amazing!)
Now, however, they’ve sent me an unusual request (but they are excited about it): can I please setup RPKI for my IP allocation, authorizing them (MonkeyBrains) permission to advertise the block? Full quote below:

I don’t think this is going to work as I don’t _OWN_ my block. It is licensed to me for a 5 year period. As such, there’s no record of my allocation with ARIN, and hence, nothing that I can assign.
Do any of you network gurus have a sufficiently technically advanced response I can give the ISP for their request?

I have just completed setup on a ubiquiti router and am wanting to configure a host for some digital radio services behind the router but wish to use the 44 addresses out to the public internet to allow hotspots and repeaters to connect. Is anyone familiar with setting this up? From the server I am able to reach the internet but it is going out through an address from the isp rather than the 44 address. I used the ampr-ripd script from the wiki and can ping other 44 addresses.
Hopefully this is possible, I have had my office allow use of some server and network hardware for ham radio.
Best Regards
Elias

There is no need to move those addresses, they are not in the block that has been sold.
Since a month or two we are routing 44.192.0.0/10 to internet (amazon) but this still
causes issues as over 4000 systems in the 44.224.0.0/15 block have not yet been renumbered.
(I get occasional complaints about systems no longer being reachable)

Well, it *does* work from a net-44 IP but it requires sufficiently well setup of the routing...
When you have routing setup from the old days (like "route all 44.0.0.0/8 to the radio network")
it will not work.
It works OK here from my net-44 IP but still I could envision this would cause problems.
E.g. just at the day the portal was down for the move, one amateur here wanted to move his
system from the IPIP net to our local BGP routed network and he was unable to delete his gw.
So he first setup the GRE tunnel and BGP routing but it did not work due to restrictions
at our GW (having both IPIP and BGP does not work) and of course then he could still not
reach the portal after it was back up. But he managed to do that from an external IP.
Maybe the portal should not be in one of those 44.190 networks that are not supposed to
be on IPIP, but it should be in another net-44 subnet that is both BGP routed on internet
and IPIP routed on the mesh. Then it would work OK.
Rob
> I could move it to a different block (not within 44.190/16) and set it up so that it’s part of the tunnel/mesh as well if folks think that will be better?
That should solve the problem for Greg and Brian.
For me it does not matter.
When you do have an external address (which you should have for IPIP, please don't put a tunnel endpoint on a net-44 address!)
you could also consider to put the external address in the DNS entry as well. Or maybe an IPv6 address for each of the systems.

Now it does. This morning it did not redirect...
Thanks!

Greetings,
I am trying to set up my Edgerouter 10x as a gateway. When I get to the step
ubnt@ubnt:~$ set interfaces ethernet eth0 address <put your AMPRNet network assignment>
I enter my allocation 44.18.50.0/28 and get an error. I can set 44.18.50.1/28 or just 44.18.50.1 however this does not yield a route when I enter the “show ip route” command. Should I be using my broadcast address, 44.18.50.15 in this position? I am sorry if I sound dense here so any guidance is appreciated as I work my way through this set up.
Thank you,
Keith AI6BX
