Does anyone know if the network coordinator for MA USA watches this list? I emailed him about adding a couple A records for me to get my 44 net going but haven't heard back. I got his callsign off the portal network page and then had to go to QRZ to find his email. Not sure if he still checks the email or not...so I figured I'd ask here. Better question, why do we need to create a DNS entry for hosts to start routing traffic from the 44 net to my gateway? Thanks Craig KC1ETB

amprgw statistics

by Brian Kantor

I moved the statistics files and graphs around and added some. https://gw.ampr.org/ still redirects you to www.ampr.org Non-sensitive info is in https://gw.ampr.org/router/ Available without a password. This is traffic counters and graphs. Gateway-related info is in https://gw.ampr.org/private/ A username and password are still required to access this. - Brian

Yes of course NAT is a pain when doing special things, but for most internet users it is not a problem at all. Especially now that the internet has evolved from a peer-to-peer network into a traditional client-server network where a few big companies run all the services and the users connect only to there, even when they want to communicate with another user. What I like about IPv6 is that it gives me out-of-band management of IPv4 networks. Yesterday I did a major restructuring of our AMPRnet-Internet gateway, where a MikroTik CCR has been added to the existing PC Linux solution to take over part of the services, and I could make all the network topology changes with confidence that I would not lock myself out, using IPv6. That is also handy when managing the very complicated IPv4 firewall. In fact so many users have been completely accustomed to NAT that they even apply it to AMPRnet... Putting their systems on RFC1918 addresses and translating it to net-44 addresses in the router. I would not do that... Rob

some amprgw filtering statistics

by Brian Kantor

Just some data points: in the last 16 hours, the firewall on amprgw has dropped over 43 million attempts to connect to the implicated ports: 623,664,16992,16993,16994,16995. We've also dropped about 2 billion attempts to connect to the other SMB ports: 111,135-139,445, etc. This is AFTER having already dropped all packets from known 'security' scanners like shodan, which therefore aren't counted in those totals. We've dropped 63 million of those. But by far, the most popular inbound is attempts to connect to the telnet port (23) on amprnet hosts; we've dropped 6 billion of those. And we've dropped another 7 billion other packets that were destined for other ports on non-registered amprnet addresses. I don't have details of which ports these are, but I know that port 80 (http) is one of them. At 25 MB/s inbound traffic, receiving packets and filtering them is taking about 10-12% of the machine, leaving it around 85% idle. The DNS nameserver accounts for about 2% of the load. The encap/decap process resource consumption is negligible. It spends about 95% of its time waiting for packets. - Brian

how to route Mikrotik Gateway Commercial IP to the ISP and not to UCSD ?

by R P

Hi there I have investigated the High drops that my Router get from UCSD with the help of the new PCAP files that Brian Made available for us it tern out that my router MikroTik that sit on the DMZ of the Cable modem Is Probed from the outside world in its Commercial IP and send its Trafic to the UCSD interface which is its default route How can I redirect packets from the outside world that sent to the router commercial IP to go back to the ISP and not go to the UCSD interface ? is there any Mikrotik Expert that can tell me what to do ? I need only to route the ip of the router that sit on the DMZ I saw that another Mikrotik on the AMPRNT get a lot of drops and it looks it have something similar Any help is welcome As i Stated before Im willing to give web telnet Or SSH access Just for Info the router connected on the DMZ of the Main Cable router it uses 192.168.1.x address and the DMZ point to this address Regards Any info is more then welcome Regards Ronen - 4Z4ZQ http://www.ronen.org Ronen Pinchooks (4Z4ZQ) WebSite<http://www.ronen.org/> www.ronen.org ronen.org (Ronen Pinchooks (4Z4ZQ) WebSite) is hosted by domainavenue.com

Newbie Question

by Craig Brauckmiller

Hey all, I am new to the 44 net stuff and had a couple basic questions. I went to the archive site and didn't see a search feature so I figured I would start here. I've got my block allocated and am trying to setup my Juniper SRX firewall to tunnel to the 44 net. However, I can't seem to find a place where the tunnel destination address is listed or if there is anything special I need to do on the AMPR site to activate traffic tunneling. I'd be happy to share the config of my Juniper SRX with the community once I get it working. Thanks Craig Brauckmiller KC1ETB

Well, I think the main reason why people are doing this is limitations in typical consumer-quality operating systems. One widely used OS appears to have been dumbed down to the level that it is no longer possible to set a second address on a network interface (was possible in older versions!), let alone to configure policy routing. People want to be able to access the AMPRnet using their devices that they also use for internet browsing. It would be straightforward to set an extra 44.x.x.x address on the network and a route for 44.0.0.0/8 pointing to the router used for that, and it would basically work. I do this on my workstation but I also have policy routing to send traffic with my AMPRnet source address to the AMPRnet. So I can also allow access from internet addresses and send the return traffic the right way. But that widely used OS cannot do that, at least not from the GUI (registry hacks probably still work). There are ways to work around it: you can install a second network card, or you can add a VLAN to your network. Unfortunately, that again is not a feature of the rudimentary network code of that OS, it is to be provided in the drivers of the network card. Sometimes it is possible to download drivers from the card manufacturer site and do VLAN, but when the manufacturer does not care about that or places this in a different market segment, you are out of luck. With all those limitations, I can understand why people install a more capable router (e.g. MikroTik) to let it handle the job that is too difficult for MS, and resort to NAT to make their systems available on both internet and AMPRnet. But, doing it that way is even more tricky. It can work correctly, but you carefully have to consider all the possible paths and handle them correctly using suitable NAT rules, routing policy, and multiple route tables. Unfortunately even some professional "firewall devices" are unable to operate in transparent mode and always assume they have to do NAT. There are examples of that in our network as well. People take home left-over big name devices from work and try to use them in our HAMNET, usually encountering all kinds of limitations and also bugs due to the old firmware. Support has ended or there never has been any support without separate, expensive, contract. It is normally more cost-effective to buy e.g. a MikroTik hEX3 and use that, if only because of the huge savings in energy costs... Rob
