Maybe it was just a first attempt at writing a WiKi article, maybe the author did not realize that this method is not correct. With this configuration you would only be able to connect towards internet (which he proves by testing) but not to fellow AMPRnet participants. That requires quite some more effort, see what Marius has created for the MikroTik routers. Rob

edgerouter

got myself a nice little edgerouter X from ubiquity. I was reading the wiki on how to setup the system and something does not ring properly in my head. ( must be the pills I take 😉 ) So here : http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_gateway_on_Ubiquiti_EdgeRouter On a line I see: • ubnt@ubnt:~$ set interfaces ethernet eth0 address <put your AMPRNet network assignment> And when I go to my allocation I have 44.135.51.0/26 Is that what I need to enter? I am no network guru. I play with stuff and want to learn 😉 Tks Pierre VE2PF

Beta Documentation for Setting Up BGP Routed OpenVPN Gateway
by John D. Hays 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

I have found a network service provider who will, upon confirmation form ARDC, advertise an AMPRnet subnet and route traffic to a virtual host (VPS). I have put together minimal instructions on how to setup the OpenVPN server that can then support multiple clients and distribute/route subnets for connectivity to the Internet using AMPRnet addresses. The cost is $5/mo. for the VPS, which could be split among a group to support multiple clients. Have a look at https://groups.io/g/net-44-vpn/wiki/home -- there is a connected file repository for scripts and templates, and a message board for sharing and support. Additional documentation will be provided as it is developed. I have used this with clients on Windows, Raspbian, MacOS, OpenWRT, ... and it works. -- ------------------------------ John D.

Hello, I've put my Freebox in bridge mode and I begin to configure my microtik router. In bridge mode the option "multiposte TV" dosen't seem to work. I think, I must "forward" some ports but which ? Any idea ? -- F1sxo

Update of elproxy (my EchoLink proxy/relay server)
by Rob Janssen 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

I have updated the elproxy.tar.gz file on my webserver: http://pe1chl.nl.eu.org/Softw/elproxy.tar.gz There was a race condition in the code that ultimately resulted in some proxies being stuck in the authentication phase. It can be recognized by the debug info in square brackets appearing in the QSO column of the /dev/shm/elproxy status file, like [st4 fd20 t0] It is normal when such info briefly appears, but when it remains for a few seconds that proxy is stuck into a BUSY state without an actual user. This can be checked using: fgrep [st /dev/shm/elproxy and when output appears, repeat it 30 seconds or so later and see if it is still there. On our PI9NOZ proxies, after running 230 proxies for over two months, 6 proxies were stuck. Hard-to-locate problem... Finally, Jann Traschewski has found this bug! Thanks for debugging it and mailing me the patch! The bookkeeping of the usage of filedescriptors was somehow getting out of sync (that I already knew...) and he found it happened in the error handling of TCP connections to the directory server. I had been looking in this area for quite some time, but somehow forgot about the fd used for that purpose and only traced all the paths of open/close of the fd used for the actual user connection... To update, re-fetch the elproxy.tar.gz and unpack (only elproxy.c is changed), re-run make and re-start the program (I run it from its /home/elproxy home directory, when you put it in /usr/local/bin or similar of course remember to move it there again) This is the patchfile of the change, you can apply that using "patch --ignore-whitespace elproxy.c" instead of downloading it again. --- elproxy.c.orig 2016-11-24 10:02:22.000000000 +0100 +++ elproxy.c 2018-06-26 23:43:22.908000000 +0200 @@ -1428,6 +1428,7 @@ buf[0] = 1; close(fd); + pr->tcp_fd = 0; } else { ds->proxy = pr; ds->timeout = now + ADDR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT; @@ -1638,6 +1639,7 @@ close(fd); unregisterfd(fd); + pr->tcp_fd = 0; if (pr->state == BUSY) proxy_message(pr,PROXY_MSG_TCP_CLOSE,0,NULL,0); Again thanks to Jann for finding this!

No communication from coordinator
by Alistair Mackenzie 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

Hi, I submitted a request for a netblock under 44.131.0.0/16 (United Kingdom) over a month ago. I've not heard anything back from the coordinator despite following up with emails. Is there a way we can look to proceed with this request at all? Thanks, Alistair

44.190.8.0/24 update
by Tony Langdon 17 Jun '18

17 Jun '18

Just an update to let everyone know how things are progressing. Of the allocation of 44.190.8.0/24 that I was allocated a while back, I have allocated a block of 150 IPs for Echolink proxies, which have been operational for around a month. The server that the proxies run on had some pre-existing Echolink proxies and conference servers. I migrated the existing (private) proxies to the new binary, which was seamless. I wasn't sure whether the proxy binary could coexist with the existing conferences, because the proxy binds UDP ports 0.0.0.0:5198 and 0.0.0.0:5199, but in practice, this works fine. On the weekend, I added a new Echolink conference to the server. This conference is the first to use one of the new 44net IP addresses (outside the range the proxies use). Again, everything is working well. The new allocation is getting a bit of use here. And I can confirm that running proxies with the binary alongside conference servers works well. You just have to ensure you use different IP addresses for each in their configs. :) I have allocated a block of 10 IPs for the integrated IRLP/Echolink conferences. Any new conferences will be using these IPs, while legacy ones will remain where they are, unless I need to renumber for some reason, in which case, they will simply be moved to their reserved 44net address. There's a couple of extra items that will be allocated new IPs in this instance. Also, the IRLP side may end up on 44net, in the instance of a renumber. I may simply drop the /28 altogether. And I'm now very happy, the old juggling to find IPs (I was fully utilising a /28 and starting to bump proxies that weren't getting used) is no longer necessary. :) -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

DNS record additions
by Eric Busch 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hello All, I've just got my first allocation and tunneling setup, and now would like to have public traffic routed to my allocation, which I have read requires DNS records to be made for the IPs to be routed. I'm not seeing any obvious way to contact my coordinator in the portal. How is this usually accomplished? Thanks! Eric, W8ETB
