All, I am receiving emails for a "Hamgate DE" for a few months now. I am not in Germany and I do not recall signing up for these emails. I have inquired a few times before, but I keep getting them. I'm noticing it's common in the Ham world to harvest emails without users' permission. Is "Hamegate DE" somehow affiliated with AMPRNet? Thanks and 73, - LynwoodKB3VWG

RADB Updates

by Robert Navarro

Hey All! I have a feeling I know the answer to my question already, but I figured I'd ask anyways: Is going through Chris the only way to get updates to RADB records? Rather than emailing him directly to make a change is there a better avenue? (Submit a ticket through the portal perhaps?) I've been trying to get the origin AS updated on my allocation for a few months now with no luck.

Nameserver changes

by Chris Smith

Hi All, Please be aware that we are making some changes to our primary nameserver, both for ampr.org and 44.in-addr.arpa, the reverse zones. We are of course doing our best to make changes that will not affect anything, but inevitably gremlins can creep in if something unexpected occurs. So if you do spot any issues, please drop me an email with as much detail as possible so we can investigate. Hopefully everything will go smoothly though (famous last words!).

Request: Blocking censys-scanner.com scans on AMPR subnets

by David Ranch

I was recently seeing a *lot* of scanning traffic from some of these censys-scanner.com IPs on my AMPR subnet. Personally, I consider crap like this as an attack yet people and companies think what they are doing is completely OK. Grrrr.. I imagine a lot of other AMPR subnets are also getting scanned which I don't think is OK. Maybe we can get their subnets BLOCKED at the UCSD Internet gateway? https://support.censys.io/hc/en-us/articles/360043177092-from-faq --David KI6ZHD

Spectrum Internet and IPIP

by Lee D Bengston

Hello to those on the list. Spectrum (formerly Charter) laid new fiber in my neighborhood and is offering a pretty enticing deal, especially considering I'm on a vdsl based service now. My current ISP has a router with a "pass-through" DMZ mode, which I use to get protocol 4 to a Ubiquiti router that runs ampr-ripd. Is there anyone on the list that is using a relatively new service from Spectrum and is able to pass protocol 4 for amprnet? Thanks and 73, Lee K5DAT

Subnet allocation request size updated, any other steps needed to process request?

by wintr＠unit2.ca

Hello all, Very glad to find out this community existed and this was all possible. Back in October of last year, I had requested a small network block, like a /30 or the like. It was allocated, but after talking with other members of the list I wanted to look into direct BGP announcement, which would require a /24. I released the /30 allocation and have updated my request to be a direct /24 request now, request ID 7127. Is there anything I should do to help this process along? Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide, and thanks for this service. Cheers, Wil - VA6WTR

Trouble setting up a gateway via IPIP tunnel

by kj7omo＠gmail.com

Hey y'all. I'm having difficulty setting up my gateway using IPIP. I followed all instructions to set up a gateway, but the Linux hardware I'm using as a gateway is stuck on "Waiting for RIPv2 broadcasts" for a very long time and is not progressing. I'm not sure if it's something I did wrong or if I'm forgetting something or if it's some other issue that's beyond my control. Can someone please shed some light on what might cause it to hang and not progress any further?

Allocations vs DNS Records

To the AMPRnet database chief admins, is there a way to clean out the DNS database of entries if the allocation no longer exists? There is no allocation for 44.18.48.0/24 yet there are DNS records. I am sure there are many others if the database is scrubbed. 44.18.48.0 needles.ampr.org needles 44.18.48.1 ke6bbs.ampr.org ke6bbs 44.18.48.64 kd6hpk.ampr.org kd6hpk 44.18.48.65 budge.kd6hpk.ampr.org budge.kd6hpk 44.18.48.66 xerox.kd6hpk.ampr.org xerox.kd6hpk 44.18.48.67 ralph.kd6hpk.ampr.org ralph.kd6hpk 44.18.48.68 jean.kd6hpk.ampr.org jean.kd6hpk 44.18.48.69 ibmxt.kd6hpk.ampr.org ibmxt.kd6hpk 44.18.48.70 pc6.kd6hpk.ampr.org pc6.kd6hpk 44.18.48.71 pc7.kd6hpk.ampr.org pc7.kd6hpk 44.18.48.72 pc8.kd6hpk.ampr.org pc8.kd6hpk 44.18.48.73 k6krz.ampr.org k6krz 44.18.48.80 n6nxz.ampr.org n6nxz 44.18.48.82 ke6amt.ampr.org ke6amt 44.18.48.84 n6vbm.ampr.org n6vbm 44.18.48.255 bc.needles.ampr.org bc.needles -- 73 de N2NOV n2nov(a)n2nov.ampr.org n2nov(a)n2nov.#rich.ny.usa.noam

Re: Allocations vs DNS Records

by Chris Smith

All, Regarding todays discussion on DNS entries: I would urge everyone to please take a deep breath and really consider your reply before actually posting to this mailing list. Some of the replies i’ve seen today were unprofessional, unkind and frankly made me feel embarrassed. This is a forum for the technical discussion of 44Net related topics, if you are not posting constructive and useful technical advice, please refrain from posting. Ludovic made a mistake, an honest mistake due to the language barrier. Sure, he jumped the gun and should not have deleted the DNS entries as he did, but he did not deserve some of the comments that subsequently appeared. For future reference please restrict sending DNS updates to the addresses directly allocated to you. If anyone has a requirement for updating DNS entries outside of their own allocated address space, or is unable to contact their local coordinator, please reach out to me. Thank you. 73, Chris - G1FEF

PI and HamPi_v3.1_32bit.img.xz

by SP2L Tom

Hello Frédéric This may be a bit off topic... Installed successfully HamPi_v3.0.1_64bit.img.xz on RPi4B. I was driven by curiosity rather than necessity. WSJT-X and JTDX compiles/installs O.K. Installation of HamPi is exactly the same like for other RPi images. No tricks needed. From my point of view HamPi is full of various stuff. Myself I prefer to install only programs that I need. Therefore 2022-04-04-raspios-bullseye-arm64.img.xz is perfectly O.K. or 2022-04-04-raspios-bullseye-armhf-full.img.xz In case of uncertainty which version to install see here: https://symless.com/synergy-help/do-i-install-armhf-or-arm64-on-my-raspberr… Short answer: 64bit processor, install arm64 OS. I do have SDR radio which is not supported by RPi and therefore I can't check RPi4B in action, Hi! However YMMV... Best regards. -- Tom - SP2L ------------------------------------ It is nice to be important. But it is more important to be nice! Nobody is mistaken - so do I.

W1DTX contact request

by Chris Smith

Hi, If W1DTX is reading this, or if anyone knows how to contact them, please can you get in touch. I have attempted to reply to your message you left on the portal, but your Winlink email address is bouncing any attempt at contacting you. I think you need to add my email address to your “accept list” at Winlink. 73, Chris - G1FEF

Hello, - Did anyone successfully install HamPi_v3.1_32bit.img.xz with an PI? No boot with me. - Is there an hamradio that actually and really uses an PI on the Hamnet network or is it a "Fake" ? What is your best solution to use HAMNET ? An repackaged old PC with a Debian ? Any ideas ? I’d like to use something other than a Mikrotik :-) F1SXO Frédéric ZULIAN

DNS A record registration under AMPR.org

by Billy Yao

Hello, I'm setting up my 44NET gateway at home. According to the different wiki documents, i need have some of my assigned IPs registered as A record under ampr.org, so that AMPRGW(169.228.34.84) could allow the traffic from the Internet. I tried to reach out to my local co-ordinator, which is "AMPRNET", on the Portal. Tried a few times, but didn't get any response. I'm wondering if I reached out from the wrong channel. So just want to ask, what's the correct way to request a DNS record under ampr.org? Many Thanks, Billy Yao

4 in 6 tunnel support

by Scott Gillins

I was wondering if you had considered looking at a 4 in 6 tunnel support. I know that it may seem backwards with a lot of things moving to native v6 but the 44 net is a great resource for hams. One example of why I can see needing this is a lot of providers, specifically wireless, are doing a double or triple NAT of their own ipv4 address space. While this is OK for most internet activities it is not good to support inbound connections. You do however get a native IPV6 address that is not nated and fully routable. Having a headend location to support a 4 in 6 tunnel would help a lot of folks. I do support large networks as part of my day job and would be willing to help set up and support if you wanted to take this on. Thanks, Scott

Encap File/Broadcast Issues?

by Charles Hargrove

Last week I submitted the below list to the database and technical managers to point out a major discrepancy between the portal's gateways entries and what is actually being sent out in the encap.txt file or broadcast. This would explain why certain subnets are having trouble being routed. If a system does not get the route data then the connection goes nowhere. After some thought and some input from a few, I suspect that the subnets that are dropped are actually using a dynamic address FQDN in their portal entry as opposed to a truly numeric dotted quad address. Maybe the stations listed below can verify my guess. Gateway Subnets 104.168.68.132 44.63.0.2/32 K8SEL 44.63.7.72/29 K8SEL 109.28.24.17 44.168.51.64/27 F4GKN 44.168.53.0/27 F4GKN 44.168.253.224/29 F4GKN 44.168.254.48/29 F4GKN 124.122.92.46 44.63.16.0/28 E20FWF 136.37.17.18 44.46.23.0/24 N0UUU 138.197.132.28 44.135.68.32/28 VA2XOR 156.245.12.86 44.185.105.0/24 LZ5AE 156.245.12.86 44.185.106.0/24 LZ5AE 166.70.154.77 44.40.129.0/28 KR1P 173.73.200.59 44.60.72.0/26 K6CRS 179.223.0.212 44.63.16.112/28 OK2PEN 181.31.245.39 44.153.81.0/24 LU7ABF 184.175.49.98 44.135.96.32/29 VE3IGN 184.65.186.101 44.135.179.16/29 VA7VH 185.214.140.37 44.131.189.0/29 M0NFE 188.29.132.86 44.131.213.48/29 G7OAH 189.27.214.32 44.174.43.0/24 PY3NZ 190.97.49.15 44.153.55.0/24 LU7ABF 44.153.54.0/28 LU7ABF 44.153.54.16/30 LU7ABF 44.153.54.21/32 LU7ABF 44.153.54.22/32 LU7ABF 44.153.54.23/32 LU7ABF 44.153.54.24/30 LU7ABF 44.153.54.28/30 LU7ABF 44.153.54.32/27 LU7ABF 44.153.54.64/26 LU7ABF 44.153.54.128/25 LU7ABF 2.52.74.125 44.138.5.0/24 4Z4ZQ 200.170.160.30 44.174.3.0/24 PY3NZ 200.9.149.130 44.174.75.0/24 PU1JDI 207.6.173.135 44.135.179.24/29 VE7MOV 207.6.202.87 44.135.173.0/25 VE7KI 23.152.224.241 44.56.26.0/29 KC9UHI 23.17.148.200 44.135.151.0/25 VE6RBN 23.202.231.167 44.70.40.192/27 KD8SEP 35.81.180.32 44.63.32.0/27 BG2LFQ 45.142.157.116 44.16.10.0/24 W1LMS 47.152.64.117 44.18.50.0/28 AI6BX 67.253.138.181 44.118.2.64/29 N1XP 68.77.136.223 44.98.12.8/29 K4BFH 68.99.7.29 44.90.128.0/24 KD7GSW 69.204.159.14 44.68.220.0/28 N2KGC 44.68.222.0/28 N2KGC 71.69.152.108 44.74.13.0/28 KO4VEB 75.74.169.23 44.98.7.16/28 KI4CTI 76.177.163.117 44.48.210.0/29 N9LYA 77.251.33.247 44.137.33.48/28 PA3DFN 79.113.110.222 44.182.24.0/24 YO2DRC 79.184.102.217 44.165.84.0/30 SP5E 80.99.198.180 44.156.64.0/24 HG5APZ 81.187.62.66 44.131.253.0/29 M6LNS 82.69.152.109 44.131.252.0/28 M0NZO 85.201.220.87 44.144.5.0/24 ON8CB 86.213.122.209 44.151.24.5/32 F1OYP 91.195.240.117 44.135.81.64/28 W2MAT 92.83.190.168 44.182.36.0/24 YO3VDD 99.83.154.118 44.24.172.40/29 KG7PNQ -- 73 de N2NOV n2nov(a)n2nov.ampr.org n2nov(a)n2nov.#rich.ny.usa.noam

Never Again

by Robert Simmons

To all... This won't happen again... Somehow the very first address in my contact list was appended to the email address list, and that address was for 44NET. I have changed the contact name to put it elsewhere in the list, and added a new ( dummy ) contact to the top of the list, with my own email address in it. If it happens again, it will be sent to me... apologies again... all thumbs here tonight. Bob S.

ANOTHER mistake... apologies AGAIN...

by Robert Simmons

To all... apologies AGAIN... I'm starting to think I've got a virus or something... this message was NOT intended for 44NET, but for a ham in a YouTube video. Some how... and honestly I have no idea how... the 44NET address was appended to the intended addressee. There must be some keystroke sequence I accidentally hit that appended the address, and I just didn't notice it before I sent it. Again... apologies to all... I'll figure out a way to prevent this from happening again... Bob S .

YouTube "The Problem Plaguing Ham Radio"

by Robert Simmons

Bob Simmons / WB6EYV here... Comment on the YT video, agree there is too much venom and vitriolic out there. Those people are just part of the noise. QSY or notch them out. Too many people ( in the U.S. ) use freedom of speech the same way a constipated person uses a laxative. and the results are equally unsavory in both cases. I could have replied in YT comment but figure this email would be better to get attention. Sorry for the gabby length, but you hit a nerve in that video. +++++++++ I almost never get on the air, there are very few hams I would really want to meet or talk to these days. The idea that increasing the population of hams will somehow "improve" ham radio is ( IMHO ) "rubbish". we need quality. and / or substance. not just quantity In my own defense, my own website ( I make and sell DF stuff ) is here : ( if you are curious ) www.picodopp.net +++++++++ People who say "ham radio is for this" or "ham radio is for that" are ( usually ) full of shit. pardon my French. Everybody has an opinion, but the ONLY opinion that really matters is the opinion OF THE GOVERNMENT, as expressed IN THE LAWS..because THEY are the ONLY ones who can issue the licenses. In the U.S that means the FCC. Take a look at the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Part 97, SubPart A, Section 97.1, titled "Basis and purpose" for the ONLY description of ham radio's REAL "purpose" that matters a tinker's damn. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-97/subpart -A/section-97.1 A.K.A. "47CFR97.1" This section is the very first part of the regulations governing ham radio in the United States. Part 97. and the very first topic is a statement of the 5 reasons why amateur radio is "allowed" to exist. ++++++ It's not a "right". it's a privilege. ( in the eyes of the law, anyway ) There are only 3 hobbies ( well, maybe 4 if you include drone flights ) that require a federal license in the United States. One is flying a light aircraft. ( Cessna, Piper, etc. ) You need an FAA license for that. One is collecting machine guns. ( yes, you can do that.) You need an ATF license for that. One is operating a ham radio. You need an FCC license for that. +++++++ I should point out also that an amateur license authorizes the license holder to BUILD AND OPERATE their own radio equipment. including transmitters. without any other explicit authority from the government. That is something that even multi - billion dollar corporations can't legally do. They can't even advertise a cell phone in the U.S. or take orders for them. unless it has ALREADY been authorized for commercial service. by the FCC. . and the FCC WILL put a stop to it, if they catch someone doing that. +++++++ 47CFR97.1 identifies the five REASONS why the government "allows" its citizens to own and operate ham radios. NONE of those reasons revolve around the "rights' of the citizens. they ONLY mention the benefits that the amateur community can provide. to the government. Specifically. those benefits that are clearly "in the public interest, or serve the public convenience, or public necessity" ++++++ Four of those five reason are now ( largely ) obsolete, and the fifth is "tenuous" at best. ( as I see it ) Those reasons were all defined in the Communications Act of 1927. so think Titanic disaster and WW1 military radio operators ++++++ I should also point out that amateur radio operation has been "suspended" in the past by the federal government. and it didn't take much to do it, just a simple majority "act of congress". During World War 1 and again in WW2, all operations were TOTALLY suspended "for the duration".. They can take it all away whenever they want. and they already have.. Twice. so don't think for a nanosecond that we hams "own" these airwaves. Look at what happened after the terrroist attacks on 9/11/2001. the airspace in the ENTIRE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES was EMPTIED 100%... IMMEDIATELY. EVERYWHERE. They can do it. and they WILL. INSTANTLY. if they have a good reason for it. As far as the government is concerned, our amateur equipment is only slightly more important than garage door openers, or R/C radios to operate cheap Taiwan toy cars. ++++++++ So. the next time some smart ass starts to read the riot act to you. point out 47CFR97.1 to them and ask them to comment on it. If they balk at that suggestion, point out to them that signing their FCC license means that they are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to KNOW and OBEY ALL the regulations pertaining to their license. And that ( strictly ) means everything in 47CFR97. ALL of it. ++++++++ For the record, I do think amateur radio is worthwhile, it provides a venue for people to educate themselves about electronics. and modern civilizations needs people with at kind of knowledge. We just can't rely on a handful of geniuses to support all the technology we use in our modern world. we need foot soldiers who aren't afraid to get their fingers dirty. The only other "official" venue for this kind of education is colleges. and they ( in my opinion ) are years behind the curve, as a general rule. ++++++ By the time a subject is sufficiently "mature" to be offered as a course of instruction in a college, it generally is at least 10 years behind the current state of the industry. Wilbur and Orville Wright didn't get an aeronautics degree before they invented sustained, controlled flight. The true leaders in every new field didn't have degrees in those fields. because the degrees only become available many years later. I've met lots of hams. including a lot that I don't really like very much.. but I can honestly say I've never met a ham that was "boring" or "average" Amateur radio doesn't really appeal to "average" people. and that's just fine with me. special people need a "special" place to congregate also. Any place where you find exciting, "high technology", you will also find hams. and usually they are the ones pulling the levers... or building the levers that others can pull. +++++++ I don't have a very good opinion of the ARRL. they seem far too political to me, and they cling to this outdated illusion that they define the "leading edge" of radio technology. That hasn't been true for decades. the average ham now thinks they are smart if they know what all the buttons on their radios do. Hams no longer "lead" the technology. the technology leads them. more and more, we're all just a bunch of customers.. In the worst sense of that term. ++++++ I have recently found an organization that gives me great reason to be hopeful. a non profit group with an internet foundation. and history. https://www.ampr.org/ A few years ago they sold off some ( internet ) property and set up a trust fund with the profits. The fund was created to award grants to anyone promoting amateur radio. in almost any way. https://www.ampr.org/apply/grantmaking-categories-goals-2022/ https://www.ampr.org/apply/grants/ The grants are very handsome, and listed on their website. about $2 million a year. A lot of the people getting grants seem to be doing things that really do actively promote amateur radio. in the best spirit of that institution. These guys are doing what I believe the ARRL should be doing. ( I should mention I've been published 5 times in QEX magazine.. an ARRL publication. so I do try to help them also ) +++++ Enough for now, thanks for the YT video. I did watch it all, check out the grants I mentioned, it will give you a reason to cheer up and be hopeful.. Thanks also the time and attention it took to read this rant. Regards / Bob S.

They happen pretty regularly now, everybody is jumping in the game... +++++ Got a message from my African customer, he's gonna make a second payment... I think this time he will send it direct from Nigeria, he needed extra bank info from me. I didn't ask how much he will send, but maybe another $ 1000... a nice surprise for the holidays. +++++ Ask Bruce what he uses for yogurt starter cultures... I still want to know.

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

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

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.

It does look like my password expired on the portal, so I need to address that.

website migration

by Robert Simmons

Jay... This is from Bob Simmons, ( WB6EYV ) I used to live in SB. ( now in Santa Maria, retired ) You might recall me, I've been an Impulse customer for decades. I have a problem, maybe you can help. or know who can help... or maybe not. I know you are a busy fellow, you may want to hand this off to someone else... I will understand. Not sure if I am asking for something difficult, or even impossible... but here goes. +++++++++++++ I was told recently my ( personal ) IMPULSE website service will be discontinued end of October, and I must relocate my website elsewhere. My email was already relocated ( by your people ) to HIIWAY in Alabama, so I decided they would also be the new host for my website. ++++++++++++ The problem is this : I want to preserve all the old legacy bookmarks ( if possible ) that pointed to my website at the original SILICON BEACH address : www.silcom.com/~pelican2 There must be thousands of those bookmarks out there, my website hasn't moved in over 20 years. I created it in a personal website space ( not a business space ) because originally I just wanted to learn how to make websites, and that space was "free" with my internet service. I used it to learn how to make ( simple ) websites, and also to show off my technical skills by describing a Doppler DF I had created. It morphed eventually into a business site, ( with modest success ) but that was not my original intention, and I never bothered to move it. I don't make much $ from it these days but lots of people still find me with it, and I sometimes get work opportunities from it. ++++++++++++++ If I move my website to the HIIWAY servers, all those bookmarks will "go dead", and 20 years of internet "profile" will be lost. I spoke with HIIWAY people, they don't own the SILCOM.COM domain so there isn't much they can do. I was hoping you folks might be able to create a REDIRECT from the original website address in your domain to the new HIIWAY address. I don't know the HIIWAY address yet. I haven't moved the website yet. I wanted first to discover if this request is even possible. I suspect it is highly unorthodox, you might decline to even attempt it. If that is true, I'll try to figure something else out, or just "bite the bullet" and kiss the legacy bookmarks "good bye". Either way, the sooner I can discover if it is possible / practical, the sooner I can get back to the work of moving the website. ++++++++++++++ I hope you get this and respond in a timely manner, I only have maybe 2 weeks left. That should be plenty of time to move it, but I've never moved a website before, I expect unknown problems in the transition. so I might need the spare time for troubleshooting. Anyway, thanks again for all your help over the years. it was priceless. Hope things are well there. ( Email is probably best way to respond, I usually ignore cell calls from unknown numbers ) Regards Bob Simmons / WB6EYV 1600 East Clark Ave Space 68 Orcutt CA 93455 ( 805 ) 598 3542 cell

KB3VWG node - migrated to Netgear WAX202

by lleachii＠aol.com

All, I have migrated my node from an x86_64 machine to a Netgear WAX202. It now runs on solar/battery for indefinite power. The device is OpenWrt-compatible and available for US$29.99 from Staples. On a 1 Gbps connection, I am receiving about 910 Mbps; so for the electricity savings, I'm happy with its performance. If you have a 1 Gbps connection or less to your ISP, this may work for you as a good home/AMPR router. https://www.staples.com/netgear-essentials-wax202b-ax1800-access-point/prod… https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/netgear/netgear_wax202 -- 73, - LynwoodKB3VWG

ampr.org hostname

by Harold Kinchelow

All So today, I decided to ping k7ilo.ampr.org which it seems to point to an OLD public IP I had at that time. I remember some time ago I had set up k7ilo.ampr.org for some reason but have forgotten how this is done. If I use that, I would like it to point to the right ip address. Where is this done now? I believe when I did create this, it was via the email ROBOT that existed then. Thanks all Harold K7ILO

ftp access to encap.txt

by k7ilo＠outlook.com

Hey gang. Kinda new here for Ive been dabbling with this for a few years though. I have been trying to use the ampr-ripd daemon without any luck and have come to the conclusion that my ISP blocks port 520 which I believe is the port used. With that said, i have also come to the conclusion that at this time, the encap.txt file is still accessible via ftp from the portal.ampr.org. Is "wget ftp://USER:PASSWORD@portal.ampr.org/encap.txt" a valid ftp solution and if so where is the USER:PASSWORD derived from? Is it our user:password into the portal? Thanks all Harold K7ILO

Re: New ISP blocking VoIP

by lleachii＠aol.com

Bill,Your VoIP system should be configured to register with the server. This would maintain the link.I'm not sure what client/server you're using, but there may be a time, timeout or keepalive (etc.) setting in the configuration options for the Callcentric service.If you are configured to receive blind SIP calls/packets into your Public IP at udp/5060 or something, Carrier Grade NAT would hinder that method.--- KB3VWG

Re: New ISP blocking VoIP

by lleachii＠aol.com

Bill,Carrier grade NAT means you aren't issued a Public IP on the WAN interface facing your ISP. There's a block of IP space (100.64.0.0/10) used for this purpose. CG NAT exists because of exhaustion of the Global IPv4 space.Yes, this would mean you cannot control receipt of protocols like: TCP, UDP and importantly for AMPR - IP Protocol No. 4.It sounds like they may have recently implemented this on their customer network. The ISP can offer their own services because they use their Public IP space on those needed servers. Another example where they use Global IPs - is on the CG NAT router that connects you to the Internet.It's possible they now offer a Public IP as an added service. You could inquire about that.73,LynwoodKB3VWG -------- Original message --------From: Harold Kinchelow via 44net <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Date: 10/4/22 22:32 (GMT-05:00) To: 44net(a)mailman.ampr.org Subject: [44net] New ISP blocking VoIP I am reposting this for William Horne because he post using a prevous message of mine but it came directly to me.

[FYI] OpenWrt Nodes - 22.03.0 with dynamic firewall

by lleachii＠aol.com

All, FYI if you upgrade an OpenWrt node to 22.03.0 with a dynamic firewall script. The script will need to be updates to nftables. In addition, I am running on x86_64, but those who use consumer hardware may experience loads when iptables rules were in the Wiki versus "ipset" (which is an iptables feature). See the archives about that issue. On larger sets of IPs, the load times are slower. I'm not sure if that's due to our routing table already being in a "least-specific" notation. Nonetheless, if anyone wishes to try, feel free to have me as a resource during your upgrade. If anyone want to test installing the additional needed packages to continue using, let me know too for documenting to the Wiki. I can test on consumer software too - and you can forward the routes to it using the setting in ampr-ripd. -- 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG

Re: OpenVPN Uses

by Dave Gingrich

Stations are issued an 44-net IP on their first connection, which remains permanently for all subsequent connections. It also automatically reconnects should the underlying IP change, or drop out (think cellular based links). IRLP can handle IPs changing on the fly automatically, but our VPN users are essentially static using the same 44-net address each time they connect. — Dave K9DC, K9IP > On Oct 4, 2022, at 17:56, Stephen Atkins <ve6cpu(a)proton.me> wrote: > > Are you using 44net so you have a "static" ip for those repeaters instead of always having to update dns for there dynamic is ones? > > > Stephen Atkins > VE6CPU/VE6STA/VE6SU

Comments and questions welcome: Portal Features Requirements Document

by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV

Hello 44Net! For quite some time, y'all have heard rumblings of a new portal, which Chris has been working on bit by bit. Realizing that it's likely a larger project than we initially thought, earlier this year the TAC took on the task of writing a feature requirements document. This has been the bulk of their work this year so far, and I'm really proud of the results, which were completed just a couple weeks ago. I'm writing on behalf of the TAC to share this document with you and to request comments and comments: https://www.ampr.org/wp-content/uploads/2022-09-Portal-Features-Requirement… Ideally, please share your thoughts in this channel rather than emailing directly, though of course we will read any feedback you send. Pierre, the TAC Chair, will be watching the list and answering any questions that may come up. Note that this document is a feature requirements document - which outlines the features that the portal needs to have before it's considered "done." By definition, it's *not* an engineering document; we've purposefully not specified the exact technology we'll use to build this out. We have, however, specified that it will be released as an open source project as soon as we have a functional version, likely without all features present. Ultimately this will be a project managed by our new Director of Technology (who starts on Monday; will introduce after he starts) and the team he assembles to carry out the build. Thus, information like timelines, project plans, and database specifications, etc., will follow his review of this document and any comments from this group. And with that, I say - happy reading! And thank you so much for your thoughts and questions. Looking forward, Rosy -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org

BGP LOA Generation?

This seems to have since been resolved, and it seems like my emails are getting delivered. However, I haven't heard back from Chris for a couple months, and I'm wondering if everything is working ok for others, or if somehow I've done something wrong. Hoping all is well with the ARDC crew and Chris, but I'm left a bit stuck and temporarily offline until I can get an updated LOA. Help? Cheers, jof

Send List URL off list

by lleachii＠aol.com

All, Can someone send me a web URL link to the 44-net mailing list off-list please? The current body no longer includes a link. I have not received emails for months, so I'd like to read up - also, I need to get a password/activate digest. 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG

All, After re-subscribing was complete (which doesn't inform you've been approved), things are well and I'm receiving emails again. I just need to re-activate digest. I'm not sure why I was unsubscribed. I appreciate those who gave me a signal report. -- KB3VWG

Notes from Regional Coordinators Focus Group

by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV

Hello 44Net, As part of our 44Net assessment project, we're putting together a couple of focus groups. These discussions are really helpful for going deeper into some of the ideas presented in the survey. After all, no questionnaire can ever replace real dialogue. A few weeks ago, we had a focus group dedicated to regional coordinators. Thank you Marius Petrescu YO2LOG, David Ranch KI6ZHD, and Gabriel Medinas YV5KXE for showing up! Despite the small turnout, we had some important discussion – about the need for greater transparency around decisions related to the address space, the need for making 44Net easier to use, and the ways that regional coordinators want to help and be a part of the discussion. The idea of PoPs came up as well, as well as thoughts about the portal and much more. In service of transparency and open dialogue, I encourage you, particularly if you are a Regional Coordinator, to review the notes from the meeting: https://www.ampr.org/wp-content/uploads/2022-08-regional-coordinators-focus… Questions for all, but regional coordinators in particular: what do you think about the challenges / solutions presented? Is there something you'd like to see addressed or added that's not listed? Please share your thoughts on the list. If you'd like to be a part of the next focus group, happening on Sept. 23 and for more general 44net users, please get in touch with Merideth, cc'd. She can add you to the participant list. Some of you may also be wondering what's going on with the data and information from the survey. We're in the process of cleaning up the data (e.g. removing personally identifiable information, codifying text based responses). We'll let you know when we plan to have a report ready; we're solidifying those details now. Thanks for your patience. I will be out of the office for a few days, but John Hays K7VE – ARDC staff and a regional coordinator for Western Washington – is on hand to answer questions that may come up. I look forward to jumping back in when I return next week. Many thanks and all the best, Rosy -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org

ATTN Chris G1FEF

Hi Chris, contacting you via the list. Can you please do something about your system's hard reliance on SORBS data to block mail. I am unable to contact you privately, because this is blocking Gmail's servers. -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

answering questions about BGP assignment locations, address space plans

by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV

Dear 44Net mailing list members, Weaving through many of the messages from the past few weeks, I’m aware that folks have some questions around why G1FEF has been organizing BGP requests in 44.31/16. Behind these questions, in some cases, is a sense of uncertainty around whether or not ARDC is going to sell any more address space. Some members of the TAC have requested that I speak to you all about these issues, and to create space where you can ask questions. So here we go G1FEF has been putting BGP allocations into 44.31/16 for a few reasons: * Currently there are BGP “holes” randomly scattered throughout our address space. This makes it harder to manage, especially when trying to spot unauthorized announcements, which we get a lot of. * We inherited the “give a /16 to every region or country” practice from the 1990’s which has resulted in extremely sparse use of the space. We'd be better “netizens” if we used the space more effectively. * The HAMNET issue (needing a static set of addresses for BGP routing) is also a consideration, as they are the largest consumers of our address space by far. All told, Chris is doing his best to engage in best practices absent a more robust policy around BGP. Creating that policy is definitely on the list, and ideally fits into a greater vision around next steps for the address space (PoPs? Better organizing assignments for one reason or another? etc.). Data from our recent assessment is helping us to put together that vision. Thank you to all of you who shared your thoughts. In terms of whether ARDC is planning to sell more addresses: while it may happen at some point in the future, there are no current plans, short or medium term, to do so. The non-inconsequential effort involved in overcoming the tax and operational implications of such a move would only make sense after taking into account the views of the 44Net community on a vision for overall address space usage and associated future plans. In the meantime, many thanks for your patience amid the uncertainty. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Sincerely,  Rosy -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org

Hello Since 1 week I started to have problems with ampr-ripd settiing. The reception of response packets from 169.228.34.84 on port 520 udp are not coming. Before abt 1 week the reception went normally. The problem occures at all IPs of 44.63.16.116/28 subnet. Below examples: For OK0NMG-5: [root@ok0nmg ~]# ifconfig tunl0 tunl0: flags=4289<UP,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1480 inet 44.63.16.110 netmask 255.255.255.255 tunnel txqueuelen 0 (IPIP Tunnel) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 20599 bytes 5164325 (4.9 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 For OK2PEN-5 tunl0: flags=4289<UP,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1480 inet 44.63.16.112 netmask 255.255.255.255 tunnel txqueuelen 0 (IPIP Tunnel) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 892 bytes 223304 (218.0 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 For OK2KOJ-5 tunl0 Link encap:IPIP Tunnel HWaddr inet addr:44.63.16.111 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:106074 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:27842124 (26.5 MiB) All setting in amprnet portal are correct and reset. 73 Dalibor OK2PEN (PY2ZEN)

Fwd: ARDC is moving to a new grant application system (Hypha)

by John D. Hays

Hello ARDC Grant Applicant or Awardee, As we all know, the only constant in life is change. Here at ARDC, we are making a big one: switching to a new grant application software called Hypha. It’s open source and has a ton of great features that will make the application process easier for applicants, reviewers, and staff. You can see the new system here: https://grants.ardc.net And read more about it here: <https://www.ampr.org/new-grants-management-system-to-make-applying-for-and-…> https://www.ampr.org/new-grants-management-system-to-make-applying-for-and-… Here’s what this change means for you: - *All applications submitted July 15, 2022, and earlier will remain on the old system:* https://mailman.ampr.org/hotcrp. We won’t be getting rid of this database anytime soon, so don’t worry about your information getting lost. - *All applications submitted July 16, 2022, and after will need to be entered in the new system:* https://grants.ardc.net. This includes in-progress applications. The questions are exactly the same, so it should be easy enough to copy over. If you plan on submitting any new applications, you’ll need to create a new account on https://grants.ardc.net by clicking the Apply button. If you have any questions about the new system, or are having trouble applying for a grant, contact us by emailing help(a)ardc.net. Thanks for everything that you do. Sincerely, The ARDC Grants Team

Time to say "Goodbye" ?

by Toussaint OTTAVI

Hi all, Here's what I received that morning from Vultr (my BGP provider), just after a bunch of monitoring alarms : > The prefix owner has requested we remove the following prefix from your account: > > 44.190.11.0/24 > > If you have any questions regarding this request, please reach out to the prefix owner for more information, thanks! Then, our whole island of Corsica is completely disconnected from the rest of the world ! Without any advice. That becomes really annoying. No more comments for today, because I do not have the right words in English to tell my exact feeling. Maybe it's just time to say goodbye. 73 de TK1BI

FIOS Router CR1000A

by Mark Herson, N2MH

Hello to the Group, I have just upgraded my FIOS service in New Jersey and with it came a new router - something called a CR1000A. It has a Verizon brand on it but I suspect it is made under contract by someone else. Has anyone on the group used this router and have been successful in getting it to forward Protocol 4 packets? It does have a DMZ, but I'd rather not use it if possible. I think I have been able to define Protocol 4 into it but I am unable to have it forward those packets to my ipip tunnel machine. 73, Mark, N2MH n2mh.ampr.org http://n2mh-web.n2mh.ampr.org

Re: FIOS Router CR1000A

by Mark Herson, N2MH

Hi Rob, I agree 100%. Having two networks that really don't talk to each other but with a common address space is ridiculous. Along the lines you mention, perhaps ARDC should consider a "grant", or perhaps a better word, RFQ from various ISP's who could set up such a thing and run it. This would eliminate all the bickering/discussion of what is the best way/protocol to do something like this as well as determining where to locate POP's around the world. Vultr comes to mind simply because they are doing it for a number of AMPR users already. Of course, other ISP's could do it, but Vultr is the most often mentioned company. I would think that the chosen ISP would set up one AMPR network with connectivity to all 44 network addresses and give an option to any subscriber to have his segment BGP announced or not. 73, Mark, N2MH On 7/19/22 14:16, Rob PE1CHL via 44net wrote: > I hope that, rather sooner than later, we can offer a new connectivity > option for AMPRnet that does not require tricks in your router, does > not depend on a static address, works with CGNAT, etc. > The objective is to use a modern standard VPN instead of IPIP > (wireguard, openvpn, l2tp/ipsec or whatever) to connect to a > relatively local point of presence that will handle the further > routing towards other users and the internet for you, with good > latency and reliability. > That will end the continuous battling with the IPIP mesh that > unfortunately is the reality of today. > Software would run on a standard router (not the router from your ISP, > more like a MikroTik or UBNT or openwrt device), or e.g. a Raspberry Pi. > > We need to lower the bar for making connections.
