Re: [FYI] OpenWrt Nodes - 22.03.0 with dynamic firewall

by lleachii＠aol.com

All, This is the updated dynamic firewall script for OpenWrt 22.03 >= 22.03. This script will not reload firewall counters upon processing new endpoints into the set. Please be advised - a firewall bug on the release version will not recognize empty or missing files - and hence keeps this from working without an upgrade of the firewall. The script posted in the original email (attached below), contains the script that will work without the patch. You may run the following to patch OpenWrt and use this: opkg update; opkg upgrade firewall4reboot Reference: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/re-22-03-translate-extra-raw-firewall-rules/140… -- 73, -LynwoodKB3VWG-- #########################!/bin/sh# load encap.txt into ipipfilter list PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" cd /tmp || exit 1 ########################### rm /tmp/ipip_filter.txt echo 169.228.34.84 >> /tmp/ipip_filter.txt grep addprivate /var/lib/ampr-ripd/encap.txt | sed -e 's/.*encap //' | sort -u | while read ipdo echo $ip >> /tmp/ipip_filter.txtdone fw4 reload-sets exit 0 ######################3 -------- Original message --------From: lleachii(a)aol.com Date: 10/4/22 19:15 (GMT-05:00) To: AMPRNet Working Group <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Subject: Re: [44net] Re: [FYI] OpenWrt Nodes - 22.03.0 with dynamic firewall Old comments removed: #!/bin/sh# load encap.txt into ipipfilter list PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" cd /var/lib/ampr-ripd || exit 1 nft flush set inet fw4 ipipfilter nft add element inet fw4 ipipfilter { 169.228.34.84 } grep addprivate encap.txt | sed -e 's/.*encap //' | sort -u | while read ipdo nft add element inet fw4 ipipfilter { $ip }done

NTP at gw.ampr.org

by lleachii＠aol.com

All, I'm not sure to whom to direct this question. I'm trying to research who informed me (likely the late Brian Kantor WB6CYT, SK) - that an NTP server exists at 44.0.0.1 (gw.ampr.org). Just doing some usual testing and updating of my node, I observed that there's no longer a NTP response from that IP. Is this by design, another issue, etc? I just wanted to ask, especially since AMPRGW is listed on the Wiki as an available NTP server. I wanted to update that information if the service no longer operates on that IP. -- 73, - LynwoodKB3VWG

Now accepting applications for the 2023 Technical Activities Committee (TAC)

by Dan Romanchik KB6NU

Hi, all: We are now accepting applications from those wishing to serve on our Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in 2023. These are volunteer positions, with a term of one year (January to December). Please submit applications by Nov. 12, 2022! About the TAC The primary role of the TAC is to advise on 44Net technology, architecture, and policy. In 2022, the committee worked on providing feedback on a survey released to 44Net users, which garnered over 1700 responses from all over the world. Additionally, they developed a feature requirements document <https://www.ampr.org/wp-content/uploads/2022-09-Portal-Features-Requirement…> for an updated portal, which we use for 44Net address space allocations. 2023 Goals & Time Commitment In 2023, the TAC will continue its work on refining 44Net use-cases and standards. Goals include further development of the portal mentioned above, researching and developing a proposal for Points for Presence (PoPs) based on existing use cases and best practices, and conversations with the 44Net community about IPv6. Note that though there may be some prototyping and development, the majority of the work may be document-focused. The TAC usually meets once or twice a month for at least an hour. Additional time may be spent working on or taking meetings related to the projects mentioned above. How to Apply If you are interested in joining the TAC, please send a resume and brief cover letter to contact(a)ardc.net <mailto:contact@ardc.net> by November 12, 2022.

More problems with Edgerouter X setup

by Stephen Atkins

I'm trying to use the instructions at https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_gateway_on_Ubiquiti_EdgeRouter and I thought everything was working but I'm having and issues. eth0 is my internet at 50.93.51.24 eth1 is my 192.168.1.x network eth2 is my 44.135.148.129 switch0 is 192.168.1.1/24 tun44 was setup using the instructions (used 44 instead of 0) I added the protocols (changed next-hop to tun44) Added all the firewall modifications (keeping table 1) I have setup in the portal my gateway at 50.93.51.24 (Did this yesterday). My linux box has two network cards. One on 192.168.1.110 and the other is set to 44.135.148.130/27. My problem is I can't ping from the outside world to my linux box on the 44 network. On my linux box when I try and ping any 44 network (like 44.60.44.10) none of the packets make it through. I tried pinging 44.60.44.10 from the Edgerouter command line and it won't make it either. I'm sure I missed something but I don't know what it might be. Any help would be appreciated. Stephen Atkins VE6CPU/VE6STA/VE6SU Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

Setup Edgerouter X

by Stephen Atkins

I'm trying to follow the instructions on https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Installing_ampr-ripd_on_a_Ubiquiti_EdgeRouter_or… but I'm not getting it and I've reset back to the default settings. I've got the router setup and working as a gateway with external IP of 75.158.135.117 which was given by DHCP from my ISP and is on eth0. On eth1 is set as my internal network as 192.168.1.1/24. I have two ethernet adapters on my computer. One is going to eth1 on the router. The other is on eth2 on the router which is currently not configured. I was thinking eth2 would be my 44 net. I have setup a DMZ so everything that comes in to eth0 goes to my computer (I have a lot of servers running on that machine so if you scan it you will get lots of hits. Have fun until I lock it down). I'm hitting a snag on the very first part of router prep. Where it says to edit the WAN_LOCAL rule set. Under which do I add these? Under source NAT rule or destination NAT rule? BTW I'm running ER3 Lite 1.10.11 on my router. Once I figure out a few of these things I can take some snap shots of my setup to add to the wiki page to help future setups.

Re: KB3VWG node - migrated to Netgear WAX202

by lleachii＠aol.com

David, - I opted for the WAX202 after seeing this discussion: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/wax202-30-at-us-staples/138622/31 - regarding the other models, I don't see any other WAX models supported in the OpenWrt Table of hardware - https://openwrt.org/toh/start - To my understanding, the Netgear firmware only produces an Access Point, as I need a router, C++ libraries to run ampr-ripd, snmp, NetFlow, firewall, etc., I've switched to OpenWrt already. I rarely run OEM firmware. - While MAC filtering is not suggested as a security feature, yes - OpenWrt does support it. I'm not aware of any limits. See the macfilter WiFi config here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic#common_options1 I am considering WiFi 6E; but I currently have no devices possessing a 6 GHz chip. This will definitely be a consideration for my next device purchase Also, I found another sale at Office Depot: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/3002477/Netgear-Desktop-Wireless-Acc… -- - KB3VWG

EdgeOS and encap file

by Stephen Atkins

I'm finally getting my 44net router going. I've got an ipip tunnel going. I havent done any ping tests through it yet as I need to run another network cable. But I'm trying to figure out how to get the routing table loaded. I must be blind or to tired to find the instructions. Can someone point me in the right direction? After that I just need to get an ampr domain set. Thanks Stephen Atkins VE6CPU/VE6STA/VE6SU Sent from Proton Mail mobile

Re: Testing 1 2 3 4

by Harold Kinchelow

Alrighty everyone. So I know my gateway is happy being part of the AmprNet, ( My tunl0 interface is working) because I get the correct IP address of my 1 and only host (for now) on my local AmprNet network when using Rob’s http://44.60.44.10/whatismyip/ Woo Hoo. The biggest part of this is done. But my only problem now is… I can resolve, ping, and get ping responses using hostnames such as Bob’s linux.ve3mch.ampr.org and every other hostname’s he has, on my Gateway machines terminal but NOT from the 1 and only host(for now). BUT!! I can ping their IP addresses. I know this is a DNS issue but what DNS entry should I be using on my AmprNet host to resolve domain names to their IP addresses on the AmprNet? Should I be running my own? Not really sure where to attack this issue. After this, I believe I’ll be ready to pitch my services to the MESH network guys here in the Valley to see what interest I can spun up in joining at least a couple of nodes for now onto the AmprNet itself. Also ill work on returning my packet node to service after a few years and have it available on the AmprNet. Thanks all. I have faith in this.

I changed web browsers and was able to log in. Here is what is in the portal for my gateway. Both subnets are listed, but indeed only the first one is in the encap.txt file. [cid:ii_l97dnxsc0] Evidently the subnet that is not in encap.txt is being advertised via RIP44 because various people are able to communicate with my IP's in 44.92.0.64/28<http://44.92.0.64/28>. 73, Lee K5DAT On Wed, Oct 12, 2022 at 9:18 PM Lee D Bengston <kilo5dat(a)gmail.com<mailto:kilo5dat@gmail.com>> wrote: Harold, Nothing has been down on my end. I think most people use ampr-ripd these days to get the routes, so not being in the encap.txt file would not affect them. I have 8 or 9 AXIP links between my packet node and others over amprnet, and all of them are up and have been for weeks. It does look like my password expired on the portal, so I need to address that. I would think if I didn't log in to the portal often enough, and they wanted to suspend my allocation, then the routes for my allocation would disappear from the ampr-ripd broadcast AND the encap.txt file. I seem to recall when I first started playing with amprnet that there were routes missing in encap.txt.
