Hello, As I mentioned in my previous email I got new 44 IPs for amprnet. But my old IPs still appear in the net system. For example: # host ok2pen.ampr.org ok2pen.ampr.org has address 44.63.16.112 ok2pen.ampr.org has address 44.177.10.10 ok2pen.ampr.org mail is handled by 10 ok2pen.ampr.org. 44.63.16.112 is the new correct IP but 44.177.10.10 an old not valid more IP. How can I rid off of that old 44.177.10.10 IP? 73 Dalibor OK2PEN(PY2ZEN) email: ok2pen(a)seznam.cz

Need to change 44net hostnames

by Dalibor Berka

Hello, Chris G1FEF has cancelled all my subnets i.e. 44.177.010.0/28 44.177.10.253/32 44.177.10.254/32 and alocated one common subnet 44.63.16.112/28. For my amprnet axip link I used IP 44.177.10.10 with hostname ok2pen.ampr.org. Now with the new subnet I changed above IP to new 44.63.16.112 but how can alocate ok2pen.ampr.org to this new IP? For those who have axip link with amprnet node OK2PEN-5 please change routing to: route OK2PEN 44.63.16.112 b At present axip links with: ZL2BAU, VE3CGR, Ve2PKT, SV1CMG, VK6HGR, PI1LAP, W9JUN and N9LYA For subnet 44.177.10.253/32 I had corresponding IP 44.177.10.253 with hostname ok2koj.ampr.org. So with cancelling said subnet I am going to change above said IP to 44.63.16.111 but also need to alocate hostname ok2koj.ampr.org for this new IP. For subnet 44.177.10.254/32 which had correspondig IP 44.177.10.254 with hostname ok0nmmg.ampr.org . There is some delay to reestablish dns of its public IP. After reestablishing that dns I am going to change old amprnet IP 44.177.10.254 to new 44.63.16.110 but also will need to alocate hostname ok0nmg.ampr.org. So need some help. 73 de Dalibor OK2PEN (PY2ZEN) email: ok2pen.seznam.cz

Re: Abuse or not abuse ?

Hello, google translate did not translate my message very well and the terms in French translated into English "sound less good"... Now if you knew what happened in the background, you would have better understood my reaction... The answer was to the message of F4HIN. I will now explain the terms used which were not the correct ones. I have kept the AMPR listing up to date for years, I react quickly to requests and I see that I am being lynched in a public square. So yes if there was a problem with the IPs I would have appreciated that F4HIN spoke to me directly to see what was wrong with my configuration if there was a security breach instead of his message here. Note that I will never use my prerogatives to have any power. There is no implied filtering of any kind and this is also the reason why I had kept the administration of these IPs because I know very well that it would not be so with others in France as it happened in packet radio at one time in France... When i write "my" IP (or are mine) that is to say "the IP 44.151.29" is my own allocation. Of course they don't belong to me. So sorry for the poor translation of Google translate and my hot reaction but the accusations I have been unjustly subjected to have clearly annoyed me. Hope that google translate do the good job this time. I am not sure. So end for me here. I do not want to create a troll. Best regards, Ludovic - F5PBG.

Re: Use of ARDC address space

by f5pbg＠free.fr

Hello, I remind you that it was I who delivered the IP you have... you better respect me... These are my IPs and they are not used for commercial applications contrary to what you claim in your claims. So I strongly advise you to stop your not very hamspirit activity... I guess the purpose was to try to harm me, you probably thought I wasn't reading the list... This kind of behavior deserves your allowance to be removed. but I have principles unlike you. You attack me personally then it remains a personal attack and I don't mix genres. So, for Christ, I have been managing IPs for a long time, even before the ampr.org server existed and long before this young F4HIN radio amateur was even a radio amateur... My 44.151.129 IP are not use for commercial use of course. The server belongs to my son indeed but I ask him for allocations, the IP 44.129 are mine. I know very well the goal of this young radio amateur f4hin, it is to take the management of the network in my place... So given what I read on telegram mailing lists, I wish you good luck...

Abuse or not abuse ?

by F4HIN

Hello I'm going to tell you a story that does not makes me laugh at all. I am part of an nonprofit ISP in France. This ISP offers internet access, but also BGP tunnels to announce your own IP on the internet. Some time ago, by several discussions, I found that a person member of the association and not ham had an allocation /24 Hamnet announced via its own AS via the AS of the association. Afterwards, after several information gathering, I noticed that this person was using it to propose hosting of small virtual machines and was allocating a Hamnet IP on these hosted VM. I warned this person that he did not have to have a Hamnet block, and that he should not do this type of use since he is not a ham His answer was clear "it's free, and I don't care". In reality, after searching on the AMPR portal, this block was assigned to a ham. This ham is the national Hamnet coordinator of a country, and the person using and misusing it is none other than his son who is not a ham! I did not say anything until now, out of respect for the national coordinator. Today, there is a member of the association who complains about receiving scans from a Hamnet IP belonging to the block used by the non-amateur. jul/15/2022 0l:02:56 system, error, critical login failure for user root from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 0l:02:56 system, error, critical login failure for user msfadmin from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 0l:02:57 system, error, critical login failure for user root from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 01:02:57 system, error, critical login failure for user root from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 0l:02:57 system, error, critical login failure for user postgres from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 01:02:58 system, error, critical login failure for user service from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 01:02:58 system, error, critical login failure for user vagrant from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 01:02:58 system, error, critical login failure for user admin from 44.151.129.214 via ssh To summarize, this person: - Has a hamnet block without being a ham radio operator, - Has obtained a legitimate hamnet block from another amateur radio operator, - makes a "commercial" use of it by assigning IP to VMs for clients or friends of his, - Let the VMs get drilled and scan/hacked with a hamnet IP. I think it's time to set the record straight, stop assigning blocks to people who use them for commercial or non-amateur use. What do you think about it? -- Gary F4HIN

New to amprnet have some questions

by ken＠kc2idb.net

Hello all, So I have been assigned a block of IPs and have successfully created a gateway. I am able to pass traffic trough it as expected and it works as one would expect. However... My intended use case for amprnet includes a lot of VOIP traffic, which as we all know is heavily dependent on latency and bandwidth. I am currrently utilizing the IPIP tunnel approach to connect my gateway into the system. My questions are, 1. If I deploy my VOIP services on 44Net with my current configuration, what are the pitfalls? 2. If I announce my gateway via BGP will my throughput then be limited to uscd gateway, or will it be based on my connection speed? 3. I know some vpn capabilities have been introduced into the system, I presume that my connection will then be rated based on the connection at the VPN server location. Thank you so much! I appreciate the opportunity given here to learn and expand my knowledge. 73, de KC2IDB

How to connect to AMPR NET from OPENVPN

by tomfuller56＠gmail.com

Hello All, I am new to AMPR NET and I am trying to understand how to connect to AMPR NET from OPEN VPN. I am not sure if I have OPEN VPN correctly configured yet. If someone could please provide some basic setup and instructions how to connect to AMPR NET from OPEN VPN. Thus far I have searched the web and have not found much info besides configuration errors in OPEN VPN that others have encountered. 1. Can anyone please let me know what message I will receive on the OPEN VPN to let me know it is working properly. 2. And once OPEN VPN is configured correctly how do I connect to the AMPR NET? 3. Will I need any kind of 44 address to access the AMPR NET from OPEN VPN or can I still explore AMPR NET just thru the OPEN VPN? thanks in advance, Thomas Fuller KE4QCM

Problems with ampr-ripd on EdgeRouter X

by Rob French

Hello! Here's my setup and problem. I originally setup my ER-X (successfully) using the "Setting up a gateway on Ubiquiti EdgeRouter" instructions. I was able to interact with the AMPR gateway, but discovered that I of course couldn't access the various other 44net subnets. So I decided to switch to the instructions under "Installing ampr-ripd on a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter or EdgeRouter X". I believe I did a good job of "unrolling" the changes from the first instructions. I removed my previous 'tun0' interface, associated firewall rules, etc (basically, anything I created in the first set of instructions, I removed, and have verified via the ER-X config tree). Then I created my IP-IP tunnel setup using the second set of instructions. Here's what I have: My modem to the outside world is my AT&T Uverse DSL modem. I have it in DMZplus mode where the ER-X (which lives 'behind' the modem) is actually assigned the external IP of 23.118.163.99. All traffic for any port should get pushed to the ER-X. eth0 on the ER-X is the WAN connection to the modem. eth1/3/4 go to various other home network VLANs. eth2 is configured for my 44net subnet (44.46.1.56/29). The router is 44.46.1.57. I have one host (a Raspberry Pi) on the subnet at 44.46.1.62. DNS for kc4upr.ampr.org is mapped to 44.46.1.62; I do not have a DNS entry for the router itself (don't know if that's a problem???). tun44 is setup per the instructions, with the address as 44.46.1.57/29, the local-ip as 23.118.163.99, the remote-ip as 0.0.0.0, and encapsulation as ipip. I have the firewall rules configured per the instructions. I downloaded and installed ampr-ripd; the only tweak I made to the ampr.sh script was to add "-L KC4UPR@EM48qr" (I did not add any -a entries). I also installed the status wizard. Checking the status wizard, I see that the ripd daemon is running, and there are 737 routes. I see 4 sensible static routes, 5 bypass routes that I assume make sense, and then a bunch of AMPR routes that look similar to what comes out of the encap.txt file. I do see that my status and location show up correctly at http://www.yo2loj.ro/ampr-map/, and that my status is updating every 5 minutes per the ampr-ripd daemon. I looked at the source code, and verified that the way that the script "phones home" is via IP 44.182.21.1. So "something" on my system must be able to actually access 44net, right??? Here are my problem observations, however: - I cannot seem to access anything on 44net, whether via my Raspberry Pi or directly from the router. Pings never return, and traceroute all ends at the router (44.46.1.57). - Looking at my firewall policies, reviewing the stats, 0 packets/bytes have been processed by my "allow ipip from wan" rule for the wan-local policy (it's the first rule). Zero (0) packets whatsoever have been processed by either my 44Net-in or 44Net-local policies. So clearly something is not right there... - I ran 'show ip route' on the router. There are 4 routes associated with 44Net: 1 for my subnet, connected to eth2. One for the router itself, connected to tun44. The other two routes are for 44.0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10, both via 169.228.34.84; both marked 'inactive' (is that a problem?). - I also ran 'show interfaces tunnel tun44'. It shows lots of TX bytes, but 0 RX bytes. - Also, I noticed that on the ER-X 'Routing' page, I can filter on 'RIP'. There are no routes under RIP... should it be that way? Obviously my tunnel isn't working (even though I somehow still update location???). Any thoughts? Thanks, Rob KC4UPR -- scrape.sdf.org

Mirotic unable to ping clients from none Net44

by thavee10＠outlook.com

I am having hard time setting up Mikrotik to work withNet44. IP tunnel part is done, 44.60.73.1 (ether5) and 44.63.73.14 (ucsd-gw) can be reached from none Net44. As well as 44.60.73.2-44.60.73.13 if they were pinging from Net44. However, 44.60.73.2-44.60.73.13 were unreachable from the outside world. I have had Reaspberry Pi set up prior to Mikrotik and it work fine, no issue. I was trying to mimicking firewall rules and routing from Raspberry Pi to Mikrotik but Mikrotik was a different animal. I am sure, I did not set up firewall or route correctly on Mikrotik. Currently set up is: ISP > Home Router > Mikrotik (via DMZ) > clients (AMBE server, DVSWITCH and Echolink Proxy). Could anyone out there have similar setup using Mikrotik? 73, Kit HS0ZOE / W3KIT

Mailman migration

by Chris Smith

Hello All, FYI, we had an issue with the mailing list server last week: The server the mailing list is hosted on experienced an unexpected reboot. The server came back up ok and all the services associated with the mailing list continued to run, so Nagios (the application we use to monitor our systems) did not report any issues. However, the sudden reboot had corrupted several open files associated with the mailing list software (Mailman 2.1) and the 44net mailing list was not passing emails. As the list often goes through quiet periods this was not noticed for several days. Unfortunately the backup period for the server was only set to a few days and by the time the issue was investigated all the available backups were of the corrupted files. As the longer term plan was always to migrate from the older (now unsupported) Mailman 2.1 to the latest Mailman 3.1 the decision was taken to migrate the mailing list to a new server. ARDC already has a Mailman 3 server for some internal mailing lists, so we migrated the 44net list there. I am pleased to report that the archives from the old server were successfully migrated over, so no loss of data there thankfully. The web interface for the new home of 44net can be found here: https://mailman.ardc.net/mailman3/postorius/lists/44net.mailman.ampr.org/ The MX record has been updated to point to the new server, so you should continue to send emails to 44net(a)mailman.ampr.org to post to the list. I want to take this opportunity to thank John - KI5D for hosting the mailing list since we had the last big crash in 2012. The mailman server, with John looking after it has provided excellent service to the community. John is going to continue to help out by acting as admin for the 44net mailing list on it’s new home. Best 73, Chris - G1FEF

by Daniel Pocock

Hi all, I recently wrote an Open Letter[1] about Codes of Conduct As there is ongoing discussion about an AMPR Code of Conduct, I felt the open letter is relevant If the opportunity presents itself, I would try and make myself available to discuss in person (I'm within driving distance to Friedrichshafen[2] and it is back for 2022) 73s, Daniel VK3TQR / HB9FZT / M0GLR 1. https://danielpocock.com/open-letter-acm-codes-of-ethics-conduct/ 2. https://www.hamradio-friedrichshafen.com/ -- https://danielpocock.com

IPIP tunnel - allocation request pending

by HB9HHA Samuel

Hi list, I need help regarding an allocation request on the portal. I requested the following ranges to my coordinator (using the portal and by mail): 44.142.27.0/24 44.142.28.0/24 Those subnets have been granted to our regional HAM club by the coordinator. He validated the request by mail and we can now use them. So far so good. I want to be able to route those networks using the IPIP tunnel gateway since we do not have any radio link to the network at this time. The only problem is that my allocation requests on the portal are returned by my coordinator as "approved, but handled outside portal". I kindly asked him by mail multiple times to accept the allocation requests on the portal so I can use the gateway service but without success. Can someone please accept those allocation requests so I can use the IPIP tunnel service or contact me off list to discuss this topic? Thanks in advance. 73 de HB9HHA Samuel

Re: Mailman migration

by Teton Amateur Radio Repeater Association

Well, there are some interesting comments. One being the cost of service. If you look at the discourse link, right away it says it is $100 per month, so it is not free. And if they were to decide this group was a business then it is $300 per month. Still not free. Trying to find pricing for groups.io shows starting at $20 per month for up to 500 members. I don't have any idea how many members there may be to this group. A few have said they don't want anything that is "cloud based". Anything you get from the internet is "cloud based" one way or another. A few years ago when most of the groups were jumping from Yahoo some of the groups talked about google. That is probably one of the worst places to go to. I, along with several others in several groups said if they went to google we would drop out. That hasn't changed for me. Trust google for much of anything? Good luck with that. A bit of my experience with groups.io. For those who like the digest, it works, for those who like to get email, it works, for those who just want to look at the messages in the group, it works. It works well for archive and searching. A couple of other good features, it allows an email receiver to limit attachment size (for those inconsiderate people who think they have to send an image that is 10 megs and larger) so instead it sends a link for the attachment. Also, if a user is no longer interested in getting email about a subject, it allows that user to mute the subject, which means they don't get any more emails about it. Since I don't manage any groups, I'm sure there are several management tools available to manage the group.

BGP announcement from two different locations ?

by Toussaint OTTAVI

Hi all, We are currently announcing the Corsican Internet subnet (44.190.11.0/24) via a Vultr VPS ($5/mo), which is one of the cheapest and easiest way I know. We have an iBGP (internal) session with them, and they announce our addresses from their public AS. We are developing the network on our island. We'd like to have redundant BGP announcement from two different locations and/or from two different providers. We have several BGP capable providers. Questions : - Does that mean we need to have our own AS number ? - If so, what's the best way to obtain such an AS number ? Does ARDC provide public AS numbers ? Or do we have to get one from regular Internet LIR ? - If so, does that mean I won't be able to use Vultr anymore (because Vultr announces our IPs from their AS, and AFAIK, they do not allow to announce from our own AS) ? Thank you in advance. 73 de TK1BI

For the love of a HyperKitty

by David Billsbrough

All, I starting to like what happened here a little better. I'm now subscribe to this mail list more correctly in that I have a login and 'profile.' Had to unsubscribe and re-sub to the 44Net here: https://mailman.ardc.net/mailman3/postorius/lists/ after creating a profile (a new login). Now I am able select digest/no digest and a few other options. I also have a few as in several mail lists on Groups.io and find it quite useable. But what really defines a usefulness of a list has more to do with user participation in sharing of their knowledge in a useful manner. A clean and clear user interface can help with that. Also a bad UX interface can wreck that experience. 73, David -- David Billsbrough -- Amateur Radio Callsign: KC4ZVW Chuluota, Florida * grid square: EL98kp * https://www.kc4zvw.us/ ARRL * AVR * BeagleBone * FreeBSD * Linux * PICmicro * RASPI * TAPR

ampr-ripd & erX issue

by anpepper＠gmail.com

About a month ago (maybe slightly more now) my gateway stopped working correctly. It had been running without issues for about a year. I'm using a Ubiquity erX running ampr-ripd, using Marius's directions on the wiki. (BTW, ampr.org looks to have a php issue at present) The erX was connected directly to my modem. Since then I have rebuilt the setup a few times after it stopped working correctly. Currently I have two erX's setup. Modem -> erX (DNAT protocol 4 to LAN IP) -> AMPR erX running ampr-ripd. This way I can mess with the AMPR settings without annoying the rest of the household! On the AMPR erX I have 729 routes showing. 44.68.180.14/32 is my tunnel IP 44.68.180.1/28 is erX eth port traceroutes to these two seem to work correctly. traceroute to 44.68.180.1 (44.68.180.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 gw.k1ymi.ampr.org (44.68.180.1) 159.637 ms But to 44.68.180.2 & 3 (linux box & JNOS) I have '-a 44.0.0.1/8' in the ampr-ripd shell script. I have also tried adding my /28 in there too. If I have my subnet in the ampr-ripd config the traceroutes try and go through n2nov's gw in a loop.

Re: [44net] Raspberry Pi AMPRNet IPIP Gateway quit working

by lleachii＠aol.com

Kit, Let me know if you're also a Verizon FiOS TV subscriber, as you may need to verify your TV is operational if you make this device swap and place your Gateway in front. I have to run the igmpproxy application on my OpenWrt and ensure that IGMP is enabled on the G-series router. 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG

Re: [44net] Raspberry Pi AMPRNet IPIP Gateway quit working

by lleachii

Kit,As a reminder from our emails - I can confirm that Verizon sometimes closes IP Protocol No.4 (IPENCAP) on the G-series routers without warning. Verizon has remote access to thier router (an additional security concern for me).My solution was to place my own router/gateway (OpenWrt) in front of the Verizon device.73,- LynwoodKB3VWG

Code of Conduct - Survey

by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV

Hello 44net, ARDC is looking to implement a Code of Conduct - a set of guidelines for conduct in ARDC-hosted spaces, including events, and mailing lists, as well as interactions with our volunteers, board, and staff while they are conducting ARDC business. In addition to being standard practice in 2022, it is an important measure to make sure that our spaces are welcoming, inclusive, and harassment-free. As we put this together, we'd love to get your input through this survey: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/6776146/ARDC-Code-of-Conduct-Community-Survey If you have thoughts about Codes of Conduct, including concerns, please take a few minutes to take the survey or share your thoughts here.

Help with first time setup on a edgerouter

by C B

HI After receiving my ip address assignment i am trying to set 44net up on my edgerouter 8. Following the instructions for the edgerouter on the wiki, and changing the port from eth2 to eth7 i as unable to ping thru to the internet as described in the instructions. An edge router 4 was also set up using the wiki instructions and the same result of not being able to ping thru to 8.8.8.8 on the edgerouter 4, thus i am continuing with the edgerouter 8 as this would be my final configuration. >From the CLI "show interfaces tunnel tun0" the response shows traffic in both directions thus the tunnel appears to be up. In order to test my configuration, a edge router 4 was programmed to simulate the UCSD end of the tunnel and a Layer 3 switch was used to simulate the internet connection. The test setup as able to pass the IPIP traffic between the routers as expected, this leads me to believe i may have the setup correct or at least very close. now i am at a loss of how to troubleshoot further. Any advice, tips, troubleshooting methods, or help of any kind is greatly appreciated. Thank you Chris

New to 44Net with some rookie questions

by Komkit Listisard

Hello, Just got started on AMPR 44Net. Currently I have a /28 block and using Raspberry Pi 4 as my IPIP gateway at home OTH. My set up is Verizon FiOS > Verizon Router (for all none Ham stuffs) > DMZ from Verizon router to 192.xx.xx.144 (my Raspberry Pi gateway). Raspberry eth0 is 44.xx.xx.1 as gateway and eth1 is 44.xx.xx.14 as tunl0 for my Ham stuffs. My eth1 is connected to a 16 ports Ethernet switch to supply the connections to all my Ham stuffs. So far everything is working well. I was able to request an IP in the range of 44.xx.xx.2 – 44.xx.xx.13 no problem. Later a friend will help me setting up a Mikrotik router, I just had to order one first. For right now Raspberry pi is what I will be using. I have some questions that I was not sure or could not really find the answer to specific questions. Can I move my gateway over to VPS somewhere? Or the VPS setup is for the larger block not for individual home use. If I could do this using VPS then I could rent one up, no problem. I would also need some sort of the instruction or guidance on how to set this up using VPS service instead of a Raspberry Pi at home QTH. The instruction I found is more like the set up for /24 BPG type of thing. I do not have a use for that many IP addresses. Another question is I have 2 blocks of addresses, obviously they were on a different subnet. Could I use one Raspberry Pi gateway, one gateway address? If that is possible, how do I add the 2nd block of IP range to my existing Raspberry Pi gateway setup or later on Mikrotik box? 73, Kit W3KIT/ HS0ZOE Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Continued commercial abuse of AMPRNet in Belgium

by Jeremy Cooper

Hello all, I’m sorry to escalate this back to the list, but I’d like to report that there is still significant commercial abuse of AMPRNet allocated subnets in violation of the AMPRNet Terms-of-Service and nothing appears to have been done about it, despite my repeated attempts to raise the issue with the abuse(a)ampr.org <mailto:abuse@ampr.org> mailbox. There are some 260 Helium Hotspot miners using the address space 44.144.124.0/23 to earn monetary rewards on the Helium cryptocurrency blockchain. While I am a fan of Helium and have managed to make it my full-time job, I am not a fan of seeing the AMPRNet address allocations be abused this way. Can we discuss this here, as a group? 73, Jeremy

Helium network

by Steve L

While the abuse concerns should be addressed off list, I think there may be benefit from some basic discussion about this network. I'd be willing to bet most are unaware of this network, that it mostly uses LoRA modulation to build a decentralized network for slower speed data applications. I feel there is a good amount of overlap to what we do in ham radio and there could be things learned from it. I'd be interested in knowing who is using the helium network (package delivery folks I'd assume, among others) and what light weight protocols and data they use. A few years back someone at a DCC meeting did suggest the concept of just such a network for the internet of things. And there have been a few papers on LoRA. I'm not interested in the crypto aspect of the network nor does that fit the discussion here. But if the hardware entry cost was lower or there was a way to build your own gateway I'd probably be doing that. Pity there isn't enough of density of interested hams locally to do what they are doing. So is there anyone else doing things with LoRa chipset enabled hardware with dialup speed applications in or out of ham radio.?

IPIP tunnel external IP changed

by Rob PE1CHL

Today our external IP for the IPIP tunnel towards 44.137.0.0/16 has changed from 213.222.29.194 to 145.220.78.2 It appears that some stations have configured this statically, so it has to be changed. (of course those that use the RIP transmissions from AMPRGW have no issue with this) Rob

Internet linked RDF networks

by Robert Simmons

To all. I've recently been duly scolded for soliciting $ for my DoppSite program, which is a big no-no here on 44NET. I'm actually not soliciting $... the program is 100% free... but the description on the website is very old... and it does mention getting a custom version for a sum of $. That description is WRONG... the program is FREE... if you click the download link, it won't ask you for any $... try it... =========== Sorry for the confusion... a lengthy explanation follows... but I guess I better provide it... At one time ( many years ago ) I had a DEMONSTRATION version of that program that was FREE, but it only generated DF bearing lines that were one mile long. I gave that away "for free", to promote the REGULAR ( commercial ) version, which I tried to sell ( I think ) for $ 99, and that one had DF bearing lines 25 miles long. That REGULAR version plotted at a "fixed" DF location that could NOT be changed... the customer had to specify that location, when ordering it. I did that to prevent s/w piracy... so the REGULAR program couldn't be copied and used at another DF site, just to dodge the $99 fee for the second site. Each REGULAR version was "hand carved" for a specific LAT / LONG, so it would be useless at another DF location. ============ No-one ever responded to that, so a few years later I just upgraded the DEMO version to display a 25 mile DF bearing line... and gave it away "for free"... but I never updated the website text that described it. By that time, I had given up hope that anyone would pay for it... in fact, it seemed no-one was even looking at it, so I had no reason to update the text information. ============ >From time to time, I would run into someone who MIGHT have an interest in that technology, so I would send them a link to the download, so they could try it. I figured they better look at the BEST version of that program... that's why I upgraded it to 25 miles... and that's what you will get NOW, if you download, install and run it.... for FREE. ============ I've also been chastised for not offering the source code, and embracing the "open source" model of software... I'm not averse to sharing the source code, but it's written in VisualBasic 6 which is an obsolete language, no longer supported by MicroSoft. Despite that, some people still write code with it, and it runs basically on any PC machine from Windows 95 to Windows 10. In the spirit of full disclosure, I've zipped the folder containing ALL the Doppsite_Demo ( VB6 ) source code files, and uploaded it to my website for others to get... You will find it HERE : www.silcom.com/~pelican2/DoppSite_Demo.zip 16 megs zipped, 25 megs unzipped. ============= I've got more to say, but this is plenty for one day... I'm not trying to make any $ on this, I'm retired and ( thank God ) I don't need the $... I'm not rich, but I have enough. Speaking for myself, I want to see someone create a DF network... even a simple one... just to prove this technology works... I won't explain why I've developed it, ( that's a whole other story ) but it's been a passion of mine for many years... I've done as much as I can do "alone"... I hope to meet people here ( on this forum ) who aspire to make DF networks, but who lack the technology to do it... or even a plan for it. ============= I've already got almost all the technology for it, and I'll share it... for folks that are serious about it... I'm 70 YO and it's not doing me any good sitting here... This DoppSite program is the first ingredient in such a network... and the people on this forum are pretty sharp, I hope they can see the potential it offers... They offer grants here also. I don't want or need one, but someone making a network might... I can offer a lot, but I can't offer everything. Enough for one day... thanks again folks. Bob S.

Re: [44net] Security Idea/test: firewall rule for non AMPRGW routes

by lleachii＠aol.com

Marius, This would only apply: * if there were a malicious node on AMPR sending as 44.0.0.1 * someone "accidentally" configured RIP to broadcast routes on their AMPR interface (though there likely won't be AMPR-routes here and not 44.0.0.1; but this could wipe our tables with a misconfigured SNAT rule lying around) And yes indeed, I currently use the 2 rules - similar to what you mentioned, and you know I'm ever grateful you made sure ampr-ripd works with it! It will also ensure that a u32 rule works as ampr-ripd does not "pull the route packets off the wire". ;-) I had to upgrade my QTH router/AMPR gateway to OpenWrt 20.04.1 running on an x86_64 (I just cross-compiled with the SDK to the musl-based C running on it), so I have some more CPUs to work with for more firewall, logging, IDS/IPS, etc. now. 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG ---- Excuse the OpenWrt Syntax: config rule option src 'wan' option name 'Allow-AMPR_IPENCAP' option family 'ipv4' option proto '4' option ipset ' ipipfilter' option target 'ACCEPT' config rule option target 'ACCEPT' option proto 'udp' option dest_port '520' option name 'Allow-AMPR_RIP' option family 'ipv4' option src 'amprwan' option src_ip '44.0.0.1' option src_port '520' option dest_ip '224.0.0.9'

Internet linked RDF networks

by Robert Simmons

To all. This is a long message, apologies, hope it doesn't break any forum rules.... but it's full of worthwhile information on this topic. =========== This message will explain how you can create your own "DF plotting" website, just like the one shown in my YouTube video... and run it on your own PC... for free. ( it has a TEST mode that can run without any DF hardware attached... that's what is shown in the video ) =========== For those who haven't seen the YouTube video, it is HERE : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdJqKNpWG5c That video has now received 60 views, and 45 of those were done after I announced it here on this forum. The DF display shown in that video was generated by a VB6 program, running here on my home PC. In fact, it's still running... right now. It could form the foundation of an internet-linked base station DF network, with one program installed and running at each DF site. =========== The VB6 program in that video ( called DoppSite ) is FREE. and it's available NOW, on my website. Information about it is HERE : http://www.silcom.com/~pelican2/PicoDopp/PICODOPP.htm#DS http://www.silcom.com/~pelican2/PicoDopp/DD_MORE.html NOTES for its installation and use on a PC ( NOTES = MsWord document, 1.1 Mb ) ) can be downloaded HERE : http://www.silcom.com/~pelican2/PicoDopp/DoppSite_Notes.doc ============ The actual DoppSite program is available as a ( 1.5 Mb ) zipped download, HERE : http://www.silcom.com/~pelican2/PicoDopp/DoppSite_Demo_Install.zip The program installs easily and simply... an installation "wizard" program is provided, to automate the process. Some error message will probably appear the first time the ( installed ) program runs, because it needs configuration info the be installed. ( Station LAT/LONG, COM port number, NETWORK port number... stuff like that ) ============= Some of the links on that website are dead or out of date, but the ones shown in this forum message are valid. Some of the information also is out of date, the LIVE DEMO station is dead... but more than 90% of the info is still valid. The displayed DF bearing line is 25 miles long, but the website says it is only 1 mile.... the website is wrong, but I never fixed it. ============= This program accepts an RS232 input of Agrello Doppler DF messages at 4800 band, and generates a website that can drive a ( remote, internet-linked ) GoogleEarth display, as shown in the YouTube video. It runs on a regular Windows PC and needs an RS232 COM port ( or equivalent ) and an Ethernet ( or equivalent ) network connection. ( The PC must be located at the DF site, to get the DF bearings from the RDF... but in TEST mode, it can be anywhere ) The network connection must go to an internet Gateway computer with one port ( at the PCs address ) configured for PORT FORWARDING, in the Gateway computer. ============= Some people might want to see this program... running... before they try it themselves... and I don't mean a YouTube video, I mean the "real deal", on a "live" GoogleEarth display. If you want to see the program that is running ( in TEST mode ) on my own computer here in California ( Santa Maria ) you can get a GoogleEarth NETWORK LINK file from my website, HERE : http://www.silcom.com/~pelican2/PublicIP.kmz This file must be installed in GoogleEarth, it gives the GE display all the info it needs to find and display my ( California ) station on your GE screens. ( and it refreshes every 3 seconds ) Save this file somewhere easy to find ( desktop ? ) it will be a small KMZ file, about 300 bytes, named "PublicIP.kmz" Find the file on your computer, double-click it, GoogleEarth will start up and you will see it has "installed itself" in the GE left sidebar PLACES / TEMPORARY PLACES box. Double click on the name in the GE sidebar box, ( PublicIP.kmz ) and GE will "fly to" the DF station ( at my residence ) in California, near Santa Maria. You will see a red bearing line, 25 miles long, rotating clockwise at 1 RPM, moving every 3 seconds. ( it looks just like the video... but this is LIVE... ) =============== Apologies again for the length of this posting... but there was a lot of info to convey... Best way to reach me is e-mail : pelican2(a)silcom.com Or send a small e-mail message to my SMS on my cell phone : 8055983542(a)txt.att.net Bob S. / WB6EYV

Security Idea/test: firewall rule for non AMPRGW routes

by lleachii＠aol.com

All, I thought on some security matters of AMPRNet; and one that could not be mitigated easily was: * even if you firewall IPENCAP, how to block others except AMPRGW from sending routes to port 520/udp Someone mentioned previously they saw a MAC that was a hash that contained the outer SRC IP; but after years, I cannot find an OS Kernel that produces it. I believe have a solution, it required some hexadecimal calculations (see: http://www.stearns.org/doc/iptables-u32.current.html). Using the u32 iptables module for those who can (and a compatible module on on other systems), we need to merely find in the bit/byte positions in the packet: Outer Header: * the IP of AMPRGW (0xa9e42254)* Protocol type IPENCAP (IP Protocol No. 4) (0x04) Inner Header (add 20 bytes to the offset of the first header): * SRC IP 44.0.0.1 (0x2c000001) * Protocol UDP (0x06)* UDP - port 520 (0x0208) I believe this should read as an iptables rule like: iptables <foo> -m u32 --u32 "12&0xFFFFFFFF=0xA9E42254 && 6&0xFF=0x04 && 32&0xFFFFFFFF=0x2c000001 && 26&0xFF=0x06 && 212&FFFF=0x0208" -j ACCEPT My question: has anyone already calculated these positions and values or tested before? I didn't want to have to "reinvent the wheel"...but you can just check my math now before attempting to implement. 73, Lynwood KB3VWG Member W3PGC/K3ERA - APRS Coordinator / Co-SkyWarn Coordinator

Internet linked RDF networks

by Robert Simmons

All... I am new to this forum... this topic might not be relevant, but here goes... Does anyone here have any interest in remote reporting radio direction finders ? ( RDFs ) I have developed technology for that, using Doppler direction finders.. suitable mostly for VHF and above. ============== Explaining it takes some time, but I have posted a YouTube video of a single DF station, running in TEST mode, located at my residence in California. ( video is about 1 minute long ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdJqKNpWG5c The DF displays on any PC's GoogleEarth screen, if a suitable PLACEMARK is installed for it. ( not sure about smart phone versions... ) It "refreshes" once every 3 seconds, and ( in TEST mode ) the DF bearing line ( 25 miles long ) rotates clockwise at 1 RPM. ============== This is a YouTube recording, but the real DF station ( still running in TEST mode ) can be viewed "in realtime" if I provide a KML link for it. Contact me if you want to see that... I will provide more info "off forum" about how to install and use the link in GoogleEarth. Bob Simmons / WB6EYV / pelican2(a)silcom.com ============= Multiple DF stations can be plotted simultaneously, on multiple displays... yielding a plot showing the approximate location of the "hunted" station... literally, "in seconds". If multiple hunters ( at many different locations ) are watching the same plot, those "far away" can ignore it... but those "nearby" can jump on it and maybe find the hunted station. That's the general idea... a jammer can't even "cough" without revealing their ( general ) location. ============= I'll provide more details for those who enquire, I prefer a phone call, ( include your number, if you please ) because e-mails are slow to compose. This is still in an "experimental" phase, but the basic technology is all mature and solid... All the pieces have been individually tested, time for a complete network to be built.... and I can't do that alone. More about me here : www.picodopp.com TNX DE WB6EYV

More info, sorry I don't know how to reply to posts on this forum yet. it's not very obvious how that is done. There have been more than a dozen views of the YouTube video. so there is some interest in this. I expected some e-mails sent to me but none yet. then I noticed my e-mail address on the YouTube page is SPELLED WRONG ! Apologies, a friend posted that page for me, I have asked him to correct it but in the meantime, this is my CORRECT address : pelican2(a)silcom.com ( note pelican is spelled with ONE "L", not two ) =========== I have also posted a PowerPoint show on my website ( 26 slides in it ) describing the proposed DF network, in fairly deep detail... http://www.silcom.com/~pelican2/DF_Network.ppsx Some of the info in it is obsolete, the remote control software to run the Icom PCR radios ( written in Java ) is no longer valid... Pity, it really worked great, but Oracle made some changes than rendered it useless. There are alternatives, though. All the remaining technology ( including the DF stuff and GE webserver ) remain valid. ============= The program that created that YouTube display is free and available for download on my website, here : www.picodopp.com The program is called DoppSite, you need a DF to actually use it, but there is a built-in TEST mode that allows the simulation to be run on a Windows PC without any DF or radio hardware.

Sorry - Off Topic MFJ-248

Greetings all, I am sorry this is off topic but I will keep the noise low. I have just purchased an MFJ-248 Analyzer and I wonder if anyone would have a circuit diagram of this unit. The has been a yellow wire cut off inside going to the top panel I think and I am also looking for the information on the rotary Frequency switch, I think it is a 6 position single pole rotary but I am not sure it is a standard one.

Brian Rogers N1URO - Silent Key

by Brian Webster

It is with great sadness that I pass along the news that Brian Rogers N1URO is now a silent key. He passed on Tuesday evening January 4th, 2022. Brian was the author of the URONode packet radio software and past president of the Eastnet Amateur Radio Network (https://www.eastnetpacket.org/). He was an avid packet user and contributor to various software packages, not just his own. He was also the AmprNet coordinator for the states of MA, NH, VT, PA, MD, DE, CT, RI and ME. Professionally his was an IT consultant and ran his company Network Continuum Connecticut (https://www.nc-ct.net/). He was a mentor to many who wanted to operate packet nodes or set up an apmr.org station. He had a broad knowledge of many other node operating systems, keeping nodes of all types running at his QTH. He was a wealth of detailed knowledge and will be missed immensely. Funeral arrangements are; Friday Jan 14th 5 to 7 pm with a small service at 7 pm Ahern Funeral Home 111 Main Street Unionville, Ct https://www.ahernfuneralhome.com/ Brian Webster N2KGC - President EastNet Amateur Radio Network

Hi 44net! Today it's 2022, but due to Covid delays and other issues, it took us until a few months ago to finish our 2020 tax returns. (Future messages will talk about our 2021 and 2022 finances.) Back in August, I wrote to 44net: > The actual situation between ARDC and the IRS rules is far more > complicated and interesting than what Pete describes. The loss of our > 501c3 status is not at risk. We are still working out the details with > our nonprofit tax lawyers. We will publish our first 990-PF (private > foundation) tax return for 2020 on our website and to the 44net when we > file it, and then we can talk with more certainty. ARDC's 2020 tax return and audit are now published! I chair the Audit Committee, which worked with our accountants and auditors to finalize these documents. The Audit Committee is, by California law, composed of people who are not paid by the org and have no financial stake in it. Most of the work of the audit and tax returns was actually done by Rosy and Bdale, our executive director and treasurer, and our accounting firm, AAFCPA.com. All of our public financial information is visible at this URL, with the 2020 info at the bottom of the page: https://www.ampr.org/about/legal/ There were no irregularities in our audit. In 2020, ARDC had a great investment year, funded a lot of worthwhile projects, improved our internal operations, and learned a few surprises about nonprofit law and accounting. 2020 was a great year for us, as it was for many steady investors. Our $109 million in investments gained $22 million, about a 20% gain, with our assets reaching $128 million. (We simply invest in the broad stock and bond markets, using exchange-traded mutual funds, while keeping multiple years' worth of cash available in case of downturns.) In 2020, we ramped up our grant-making programs, as well as reducing the volunteer board's workload by hiring Rosy, our first Executive Director since Brian Kantor died. We spent only about $450,000 in expenses like salaries, contractors, and taxes. We gave out about $3.2 million in grants. Those grants are listed on our "Awarded Grants" pages: https://www.ampr.org/grants/ https://www.ampr.org/2020-grants/ They are also listed on pages 11, 15 and 16 of the 990-PF tax return. These include more than $1 million in scholarships, half a million dollars toward improved satellite transceiver modulation, and a variety of both engineering projects and local infrastructure improvements. 2020 was the first year in which ARDC operated as a private foundation. That is an IRS category for charitable nonprofits that make most of their income in some way other than with donations from the general public. The IRS is more suspicious of private foundations than they are of public charities, since there are more opportunities for mischief when a broad cross-section of the public isn't watching. Most of what they look out for is self-serving behavior, like paying ourselves outrageous salaries, or funding things using non-taxable money that would pump up a related for-profit business. Private foundations can't give money to individuals without filing a detailed plan with the IRS. And to give money to organizations that aren't US 501c3 nonprofits, there are more controls and hoops to jump through. For example, when we funded DARC.DE, the German amateur radio club, to upgrade various parts of the European ham infrastructure, we and they had to go through a months-long paperwork exercise to prove that DARC is the German "equivalent" of a US 501c3 public charity. We have had to do a lot of consulting with lawyers and accountants to do everything properly. We want to be able to fund ham activities, education, and digital communications R&D throughout the world, not just in the United States. And to also be able to help small ham clubs that aren't organized as charitable 501c3 nonprofits. Private foundations also pay a small "excise tax" on their investment income -- about 1.39%. Yes, we're a charitable nonprofit, but Congress has figured out how to tax us anyway. For 2020, that cost us $33,730. And the biggest chunk of our $450,000 in expenses was when we accrued a deferred expense of about $277,000 for the "unrealized" investment gains that happened when the stock market went up so much. We won't have to pay that tax until we actually sell the investments that went up, but the deferred expense reminds us of what we will owe. In 2020, we failed at one IRS requirement. Luckily, the rules give us an extra year to make up for it, before we'd have to pay penalties. That is the requirement that every private foundation has to spend or give away 5% of the "fair market value" of its investable assets every year. This has to be calculated on a cash basis (not by accrual), so if a grant check was not cashed until 2021, it didn't count. This is often mis-described as a requirement that we give away 5% of our "income" or "investment returns", but actually a foundation owes it whether or not it has any income or investment returns. Even if a private foundation doesn't invest some of its assets, if they aren't directly using those assets for charitable purposes, they have to give 5% of them away annually. The whole idea is that to justify their income tax exemption, nonprofit private foundations have to actually do good in the world, spreading their wealth around, rather than just sitting pretty and hoarding their assets. This is a laudable goal, but now see how it applied to us. Since our average investment assets throughout the year were almost $117 million, our "distributable amount" was 5% of that, or about $5.8 million. We only spent or gave out about $3.2 million, so that's how we failed. That calculation is on pages 8 and 9 of our tax return. We would have done better, but we didn't realize that we would be treated as a private foundation in 2020; we thought we had another year as a public charity. Having learned that in 2021, we believe that for 2021 we have met and exceeded that 5% requirement, and we expect to reduce or eliminate our carried-over shortfall of spending from 2020. Our ability to follow the 5% rule is only easy because we are not treating our remaining IP addresses as an investment asset. Instead, we are using them directly in our charitable works (including both providing small numbers of addresses to hams, and accomplishing scientific research using the other addresses via the Network Telescope). If we did have to treat those addresses as an investment asset, we would be required to spend 5% of their value every year. Because the addresses we still have are 3x as many as what we sold off in 2019, and the value of IP addresses is rising, the IRS would require us to annually spend about 4x as much as we do today! That would deplete all of our liquid assets within a small number of years, and then require us to sell off a new 5% of our addresses every year, just to create the cash to grant out 5% of their worth every year. This is what I meant when I said back in August that our situation is "complicated and interesting". It's a bit like the "use it or lose it" nature of ham frequency band allocations. If we really didn't use the IP addresses for charitable purposes, then we would be forced to gradually lose them. In summary, in 2020, ARDC had a great investment year, funded a lot of worthwhile projects, improved our internal operations, and learned a few surprises about nonprofit law and accounting. With what we learned in 2020, we expect to finish our 2021 audit and taxes much sooner -- in the first half of 2022. Any questions? John Gilmore, chair, ARDC Audit Committee

Carrying 10 MHz reference clock over network ? (full message)

by Toussaint OTTAVI

Hi all, (Here's my full post, one line disappeared in the previous one) I'm thinking about building a GPS-disciplined 10 MHz reference oscillator. Of course, I'd like to add some networking features to it :-) NTP server is the most obvious, and is well documented. But I'd like to be able to carry 10 MHz reference signal to various locations in the shack over network cabling. My first idea is about using existing converters for TV/SAT : - RF to Ethernet passive couplers (a F connector tied to pins 1-2 of a RJ45 connector, $1 on Chinese warehouses). - RF to fiber adapters (such as those used in FTTH/CATV). But a first look shows frequency range is 50-1000 MHz. Anyway, I do not have any idea about whether it will work or not while maintaining the reference/stability purpose of the 10 MHz signal. Any suggestions ? HNY & 73 de TK1BI

IPIP mesh with VyOS on Vultr

by John Burwell

I am attempting to get connected from VyOS, and I seem to have several pieces in place, but I am not able to ping any hosts across any IPIP tunnels. I can ping amprgw.ucsd.edu across the public Internet. I have configured a `tun44` interface. I have ampr-ripd running, and it receives updates every five minutes. The resulting routes appear in my routing table, and if I do `ip route get` on 44-net hosts, it shows them routing through my `tun44` interface. But if I try to ping 44-net hosts or access them at all, I get timeouts. What might I be missing? My gateway public IP is 155.138.247.113. My allocated subnet is 44.31.64.1/27. I created a firewall group named ALLOW-ALL with a default rule set to 'accept' just to rule that out for troubleshooting. Tunnel interface configuration: tunnel tun44 { > address 44.31.64.1/32 > description AMPRNET > disable-link-detect > encapsulation ipip > firewall { > in { > name ALLOW-ALL > } > local { > name ALLOW-ALL > } > out { > name ALLOW-ALL > } > } > mtu 1450 > multicast enable > remote 0.0.0.0 > source-address 155.138.247.113 > } ampr-ripd startup output: root@vyos:/home/vyos# ampr-ripd -svd -i tun44 > Using metric 0 for routes. > Using TCP window 840 for routes. > Using routing table 'main' (254). > Loaded 738 entries from /var/lib/ampr-ripd/encap.txt > Max list size: 1000 entries > Detected tunnel interface address: 44.31.64.1 > Interface detected: lo, IP: 127.0.0.1 > Interface detected: eth0, IP: 155.138.247.113 > Interface detected: tunl0, IP: 0.0.0.0 > Interface detected: tun44, IP: 44.31.64.1 > Assigned tunnel interface index: 5 > Local IPs: > 127.0.0.1 > 155.138.247.113 > 44.31.64.1 > Using gateway 155.138.246.1 for direct 44net endpoints via interface eth0. > Setting routes (738). > Creating multicast RIP UDP listening socket. > Setting up multicast interface. > Waiting for RIPv2 broadcasts... > Broadcasts eventually start appearing.

Request for official clarification from ampr.net BOD

by Kevin Walsh

It would be most helpful if the amprnet BOD could post in writing an official statement regarding using common secure communications (https. TLS etc.) over the 44. IP network. This email list is used for communications regarding the use of the IP address space. I'm not asking about the use of encryption over part 97 RF radio, just the 44 network IP address space. I am not aware of any portion of the Part 97 rules that apply to the wired internet at large. Everyone has an opinion, but it's time for the amprnet Board to clarify the muddy waters around the use of the amprnet IP space and publish those rules. Please! 73, Kevin Walsh W8KHW

Re: [44net] DN42 for 44net?

by John Burwell

> > Thanks for sharing. I see this has been around a while, but I hadn’t run into it myself yet. Apple is currently doing something like this with IPSEC and IPv6 for iCloud users; pretty much any iCloud user is always on a private VPN with all their other iCloud devices. And there are commercial enterprise SD-WAN products and cloud providers that offer a similar approach for SMBs and branch offices. Azure and AWS offer almost exactly this between virtual networks, data centers, and regions, down to the private ASNs. It’s nice to see a project built on open standards for the express purpose of playing with it and learning about it. Seems very much like something 44net could benefit from studying carefully.

Potential commercial use / TOS violation 44.144.50.0/24

by Jeremy Cooper

Hi all, I’d like the ARDC to investigate and possibly revoke the assignment for 44.144.50.0/25 due its use for commercial purposes. I’m a long time member of the group here but I’m also heavily involved in the Helium radio-based blockchain. I’ve noticed three Helium “hotspots” or “miners” that are using this allocation. While I am personally a fan of Helium, I don’t think its use is permissible on the AMPRNet as Helium hotspots do earn monetary compensation for being connected to the Internet. As a responsible AMPR block recipient myself, I feel it’s important that we continue to honor the ARDC’s rules for the AMPR space, and this is one of them. The hotspots in question are: * zany-pecan-kitten at 44.144.50.71 (https://explorer.helium.com/hotspots/112en278X7KpSMfgH9JMnEfkfLSsi2osRjJ1mL…) * petite-flint-bird at 44.144.50.73 (https://explorer.helium.com/hotspots/11bkMgWVDYSteuq1fLvowC9z4BVReQrXNGCq4F…) * furry-pine-raccoon at 44.144.50.74 (https://explorer.helium.com/hotspots/112TRAzGUMNvEYEtHawWymZTA4cX9BWu9QFw1v…) Sincerely, Jeremy Cooper (KE6JJJ)

Staff introduction, Interview invitation, PoP proposal update, TAC & GAC openings, and 990-PF

by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV

Hi, 44net! Writing with a few updates that may interest you. First, I’d like to introduce you to our Administrative Coordinator, Merideth Stroh – KK7BKI. She comes from a family of hams and is helping us with everything administrative. Please join me in welcoming her to the team! In advance of our upcoming board retreat in early December, Meredith and I will be interviewing folks one-on-one about the future of amateur radio and digital communications. If you would like to take part in one of these interviews, you can sign up here: https://calendly.com/ardc-rosy/30min If you want to participate but can’t find a time listed, please reach out and we’ll do our best to find a time that works. Note that we have some times available in early December, but if you want your thoughts brought to the board, please find a time by Dec. 2. If so moved, you are also invited to apply to join either our Technical or Grants Advisory Committees (GAC & TAC). Note that, for 2022, the role of the TAC is going to change a little bit. In addition to focusing on PoP development, we may also call upon TAC members to help evaluate particularly technical in-progress grants. Learn more on our blog here: https://www.ampr.org/now-accepting-applications-for-grants-advisory-committ… Speaking of PoPs, we’ve been working on a plan to develop PoPs for the address space, which incorporates a lot of the feedback and thoughts we’ve heard on this list and through private mails from some of you. When it’s in a better place to share (it’s so close!) I’ll do so. Thanks for your patience on this – we’ve taken in a lot of info and are working with volunteers to review, so it’s not a fast process, but it’s a thorough one. Last but not least, some of you have asked to see our 2020 tax return (IRS Form 990-PF). You can see all our public financial documents here: https://www.ampr.org/about/legal/ Specific links for the 2020 documents are: * Audited financial statements: https://www.ampr.org/wp-content/uploads/Amateur-Radio-Digital-Communication… * 990-PF: https://www.ampr.org/wp-content/uploads/Amateur-Radio-Digital-Communication… Thank you for your patience here as well. As Bdale shared in an earlier mail, with the extra time allotted for filing tax returns, many accountants have been running behind this year, including ours. Here’s hoping that we get this filed earlier next year. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any thoughts and questions. 73, Rosy -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org

Policy around /24 allocations for BGP use

by Donald Gordon

Hi Does AMPRnet have any policy around allocating /24s to individual hams for the purpose of experimenting with BGP/etc? My local coordinator says this used to be a "yes, but you'd have to be a club not an individual." However I note looking through AMPR allocations there are some in e.g. 44.31 listed as educational/tinkering BGP. Which is what I want to do. Should I be requesting in 44.31 instead of my country's allocation? Regards Donald Gordon (ZL2IP)

Tunnel setup help: Debian 11

by KUN LIN

I have been trying to configure the AMPRtunnel for a while without success. Could someone please point me to the right direction. I am running Debian 11 with public IP. I have configured the public IP in the AMPR portal as gateway. I am trying to follow this document https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Linux_Gateway_Example When I try to run find_password.sh in ampr-ripd-2.4, I am stopped at Waiting for RIPv2 broadcasts... and never retrieve a password. Here is what I have done so far. in /etc/network/interfaces, I added auto ens3:1 iface ens3:1 inet static address 44.26.0.168 netmask 255.255.255.248 Then I created ipip tunnel using following commands ip tunnel add ampr0 mode ipip local 209.141.42.9 ttl 255 ip link set dev ampr0 up ifconfig ampr0 multicast ip rule add to 44.0.0.0/8 table 44 priority 44 ip rule add from 44.26.0.168/29 table 44 priority 45 ip route add default dev ampr0 via 169.228.34.84 onlink table 44 ip route add 44.26.0.168/29 dev ens3 table 44 Then, I run ampr-ripd -d -v -i ens3 to get the password in order to plug into lat command ampr-ripd -s -i ampr0 -a 209.141.42.9-t 44 -p <SecretPassword> However, the find_password.sh stopped at waiting for ripv2 broadcast. Here is the logs for command Using metric 0 for routes. Using TCP window 840 for routes. Using gateway 209.141.42.1 for direct 44net endpoints via interface ens3. Waiting for RIPv2 broadcasts... Any idea on what am I doing wrong? Thanks Kun

44net and ARIN IRR

by KM6RDV

Hi, As I have heard, it is not allowed for ARDC to create route objects in ARIN's IRR and for that reason, RADb is used. I am just curious why this is the case? (It seems in general, creating IRR objects is possible via IRR-online [1]) Best, Nick [1] https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/irr/userguide/

Thank you AMPR and Chris

by KM6RDV

Hi list, I hope I am not spamming this list; I would like to express my sinciere gratitude to AMPR (everyone who made and makes 44/8 for hams possible) and especially to Chris who helped me a lot in the process for a BGP routable network. Thank you for gifting me an enormous time sink. It was always a dream of mine to connect directly to the "core" of the internet, play around with BGP and, in some ways, completely independent of an ISP. I had given up this dream long time ago until recently my friend told me about AMPR. It's a privilege that hams are given the opportunity to experiment with something that would otherwise be out of reach for hobbyists, similar as radio would be without ham. (while the same with IPv6 is 'somewhat' still accessible, /24 prefixes meanwhile go for 15k and since this is the smallest for anything interesting [BGP, AS], it's just out of reach for experimentation) There are so many exciting things to play with. Subnetting the /24, using /30 or /31 networks for example is something I knew in theory but never really applied in that intensity because with RFC1918, there is no need. BGP I knew in theory but setting up bird and seeing how a session is established, a prefix is announced and watching via looking glass how it propagates through the global interconnected network brings this to a whole new level. I am currently trying to implement a "real" multi homing setup. I have two cheap consumer grade internet links: DSL and 5G. The latter one is CGNAT. Normally there is no way to make anything useful out of this (other than having a manual backup connection). For the first line, I created an ipip tunnel, for the second one a wireguard (due to CGNAT) and connect a third network over them. This network is now accessible straight from the internet on two lines. Exactly as the internet was originally conceived, the packets can now flow on either connection! In next steps I would like to set up OSPF (or maybe iBGP?) and possibly adding more tunnels to create realistic routing networks. And further down, I'd like to see if I can find something interesting to implement anycast. Maybe some spectrum sensing via RTL2832 at two different locations accessible via the same address? Let me know if you have any good ideas. Nick, KM6RDV

Setting Up JNOS to Postfix Integration For DKIM/SPF Issues

by n2nov＠n2nov.ampr.org

This may be beyond the scope of some since I mentioned JNOS, but the basics should be the same. I have been running the n2nov.ampr.org JNOS system since the late 90s, but recently any emails that I send to GMAIL and some other services are being rejected. The same happens when any email is sent to me from those same commercial SMTP services. This is all boiling down to the modern SMTP security functions are not part of JNOS. It has been mentioned that I should use the Postfix on the CentOS server that it sits on as it is already servicing various accounts that I maintain for clients and amateur radio groups. If someone else is using this arrangement already, I would like to see how you are doing it and what the limitations are. I believe the Santa Clara group was going to implement something like this a few years ago. Thanks in advance. -- de N2NOV n2nov(a)n2nov.ampr.org n2nov(a)n2nov.#rich.ny.usa.noam

10Gb/s Gateway Upgrade

The upgrade to a 10Gb/s link to the gateway machine went ahead at 10:30pm last night (UK time), 2:30pm Pacific. I am pleased to report that the upgrade was successful, we also took the opportunity to reboot the machine: previously it has been difficult to reboot the gateway machine as it messed up the switch it was connected to (the switch was configured with mirrored ports for the CAIDA telescope and a reboot stopped it working). The gateway machine is now connected to a different switch and I can reboot it without it causing any detrimental effects.

Sustained DDOS attack

by Chris Smith

FYI The gateway machine at UCSD has been under a sustained DDOS attack now for over 24 hours, so if anyone is seeing heavy packet loss through the gateway, that’s why. The 1Gb/s interface is max’d out. You can view the interface stats here: http://mrtg.portal.ampr.org 73, Chris - G1FEF — ARDC IT Director Web: https://www.ardc.net

no route to 44.0.0.1 from Wave Broadband

by Rob Salsgiver

Greetings all, Looking for a reason why I can't ping 44.0.0.1 from my connection via Wave Broadband. If I VPN to my workplace (Comcast) I can ping it just fine. Wave subnet is 66.235.20.x. Traceroute below. I can get well out from my own network but it seems to die closer to the 44 side. Any ideas?

Re: [44net] Sustained DDOS attack (Matt - VK2FLY)

by lleachii＠aol.com

All, I see a slight increase in traffic inbound toward my /24 at my tunl0 interface (0.6 kbps to 1.1 kbps) - most still appearing to be blocked by my firewall. From netflow data, the majority of this traffic appears to be: TCP, GRE and pings. 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG

44Net ham gate near Muskegon MI

by Chris

Hi all, I'm looking to get back on the 44net after many many years. There used to be a hamgate in Muskegon MI run by WB8I, and is also listed on the AMPR.ORG site - however my several attempts to contact him have gone unanswered. I also haven't heard anything on the radio local.... Does anyone have any information on a hamgate in the Muskegon / Grand Rapids area in Michigan? Any info is appreciated! 73 Chris KC8BAT

IPIP link from Google Compute Engine

by Matthew Chambers

So I have a linBPQ node running on a Debian VM at Google and it's working on my assigned public IP there. I found that while they can do BGP announce of a 44 net subnet but it'd take a bit futzing around that I'm reserving for if I can't do an IPIP tunnel from there. My bpq32.conf has this for my IPGateway config IPGATEWAY # My Pub IP 35.209.142.98 # My Int IP 10.128.0.56 ADAPTER ens4 44ENCAP 10.128.0.56 IPAddr 44.46.15.1/24 IPPorts 1,2,3 NAT 44.46.15.5 10.128.0.56 **** and I have 2 firewall rules setup besides the ones I need for BPQ stuff (telnet and AXIP links) ACCEPT IP 169.228.34.84 all protocols ACCEPT IP 0.0.0.0/0 IPIP I'd think the 2nd one would cover everything I'd need but I decided to go ahead and make one to accept anything from the 44net Gateway at 169.228.34.84 just in case. Anyone else attempted anything like this? I know I could go setup something with vultr but I'm trying to keep all my VMs in once place if possible (and avoid a 2nd hosting bill) -- -- Matthew Chambers, NR0Q -- The content of this email is confidential and intended for the recipient specified in message only.

5 GHz link over 250 km of sea between Corsica and France / Italy ?

by Toussaint OTTAVI

Hi all, Some friends from south of France submitted the idea of a 5 GHz link between France and Corsica. The distance is 200-250 km, mostly over the sea. It's far longer than what I could see on HamNetDB, for example. But it's shorter than WiFi world records (some of them attempted more than 10 years ago between Italy and Sardinia). I never attempted links longer than 40km, so I don't have any experience. And we don't have any SHF expert locally... 1/ Do you think a permanent and stable 250 km link over the Mediterranean sea is doable ? Are some of you using such long links in 5 GHz ? If so, could you share your technical experience here ? 2/ Are there any people from Italy on this list ? Are there any volunteers between Genova and Roma to attempt a link with the East coast of Corsica ? If it works, would there be an interest in establishing a permanent link ? Thank you for your comments, 73 de TK1BI

Creating / hosting a new sub-mailing-list 44net-fr ?

by Toussaint OTTAVI

Hi, I often talked with French 44net guys, and it appears there's no current forum or mailing-list for communications between us, without polluting the world-wide 44net list. A long time ago, I planned to create a dedicated mailing-list 44net-fr on our mail server, but I never finished it, HI :-) The current project of a link between Corsica and France shows the need of such a tool, because private mails are becoming too bulky. My primary idea was to create a group on groups.io. As AMPR has now fundings and technical team, would it be possible to host such a 44net-fr mailing-list directly at ampr.org ? 73 de TK1BI

Addl Portal Services

by Kris Kirby

If we've got a TAC working new possible opportunities for 44net, I strongly recommend developing and deploying a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service, and extending the portal so that end users may edit thier own DNS records. -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR Disinformation Architect, Systems Mangler, & Network Mismanager

Known (US) providers to route/announce a 44

by Nick Hammler

(Sorry for repost. Chris kindly informed me that my messages are empty. I think it could be because GPG sig. Another attempt without it) Hi, I am aware there will be a slim chance for this to happen but having a 44net subnet directly routed would be super amazing. I am aware that "normal" providers likely won't do this except for business customers (at many $$$/months) and likely the subnet needs to be large (>=/24?) I could imagine though that small providers may be up for it (as an example, in a place I lived many years ago, I had a small provider; I contacted the CEO directly and he immideately agreed to assign+route me a /29 at no cost!). Are there any known providers (US, California) who could route a 44net subnet? To everyone who has their 44 routed directly: How does it work for you? Finally: The whole 44net is announed only by the UCSD gateway (as far as I understand). Wouldn't it be great to improve the connectivity, reliability, redundancy by having 44 announced by multiple people who route their subnet directly and then forwarding them to the mesh network via ipip? Is there a reason this is not done, other than nobody besides UCSD volunteered ? Thanks, KM6RDV

Questions on (reverse) DNS

by Nick Hammler

(Sorry for repost. Chris kindly informed me that my messages are empty. I think it could be because GPG sig. Another attempt without it) Hi all, I am new to 44net and I haven't found much about DNS. I have the following questions: 1. In order to get traffic routed through the 44 gateway, does a forward or reverse DNS entry need to exist? Does it need to satisfy certain format/conditions? (from a technical standpoint, existance of reverse would make sense as it's done in SMTP servers, but I don't know how this information is queried by the gateway). 2. I run my own bind (also accessible over 44net). I'd love to handle my DNS entries on my own (not least because every request on the portal can take well over a year to be answered, at least for me). Is it possible to request classless in-add.arpa delegation (RFC2317) for my subnet? 3. If the ampr.org domain is used, are there any requirements on the format/hierarchy? Can it be a subdomain <myname>.ampr.org? Or does it need to be <callsign>.ampr.org? Can all entries and hierarchy under this subdomain be freely chosen? 4. Is there any way in the portal to keep track of DNS related requests/messages as it is for subnets? I am not sure any more if, when, what and who I have asked about DNS and I want to avoid sending the request again if it's still "pending". Thanks, Nick
