For this particular issue it would help when the encap file had a trailer that the script that fetches it could check for before loading it. Something like: # EOF Rob

DNS

So that time has come to get some DNS entries added.G1FEF seems to be my coordinator. Should I approach him about entries I cannot spot a contact address anywhere. Regards Marc (2W0PNT)

Small corrections and a bug fix: ampr-ripd 1.6.2 and amprd 1.6

by Marius Petrescu

Hello, I made some small fixes without major functional impact to ampr-ripd: - Routes where not cleaned up in debug mode, after hitting CTRL-C - If RIP forwarding was used and the forward interface became inactive/disappeared, the daemon would not be able to send any RIP updates. This use case can occur e.g. if ampr-ripd is providing RIP broadcasts for a jnos via a tunnel. On jnos crash the tunnel would fail and would not receive route updates after restart (tnx. Gus, I0OJJ for report and testing the fix). If these issues have not bothered you until now, there is no urge to upgrade. There was also a bug in amprd, which would not set the needed host routes if rip_set_routes was set to 'no'. Also, the password is hard coded in amprd, too (like in ampr-ripd). Sooo: http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-ripd-1.16.2.tgz http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/amprd-1.6.tgz http://yo2tm.ampr.org/hamprojects/ampr-ripd-1.16.2.tgz http://yo2tm.ampr.org/hamprojects/amprd-1.6.tgz Have fun!

This should be "good enough"? > Clearly, others have gone further. Well, what I have done up to now is a filter to allow IPIP traffic only from registered IPIP tunnel hosts, but no further. There is no strict "reverse path" checking yet, so anyone with a registered tunnel could in fact spoof traffic for any source IP. Maybe I'll fix that later, but for now I decide to allow traffic that may be routed somewhere else and then forwarded in a tunnel. The main purpose of the filter is to keep out the opportunists on Internet that could try to get around a firewall using tricky tunneled packets, not to regulate what the AMPRnet users can do. (I have seen examples of unwanted IPIP traffic, and lately GRE is a popular target as well, so similar filters are in place to allow GRE only from locally registered GRE endpoints) The filter is done as a -x script called by ampr-ripd when it updates the route table. The script is like this: #!/bin/sh # script called when ampr-ripd updates route table # load encap.txt into ipipfilter list AMPRGW="169.228.66.251" gwfile="/dev/shm/gw" cd /var/lib/ampr-ripd || exit 1 grep addprivate encap.txt | sed -e 's/.*encap //' | sort -u >$gwfile if iptables -N ipipfilter 2>/dev/null then iptables -F ipipfilter iptables -A ipipfilter -s $AMPRGW -j ACCEPT while read ip do iptables -A ipipfilter -s $ip -j ACCEPT done <$gwfile iptables -A ipipfilter -j LOGREJECT else iptables -L ipipfilter -n | grep ACCEPT | fgrep -v $AMPRGW | \ sed -e 's/.*-- //' -e 's/ .*//' | sort | diff - $gwfile | \ while read d ip do case "$d" in ">") iptables -I ipipfilter -s $ip -j ACCEPT ;; "<") iptables -D ipipfilter -s $ip -j ACCEPT ;; *) ;; esac done fi rm -f $gwfile This updates the "ipipfilter" chain that is used in the input firewall like this: iptables -A firewall -p 4 -j ipipfilter I use this method to have some statistics of traffic per endpoint as well, when you don't need that it would be better to use ipset to maintain an address set to be matched by a single iptables line.

Your network is OK in our routing table. I can ping 44.131.14.255 but not those other addresses. Rob

New ampr-ripd 1.16 and amprd 1.5 released

by Marius Petrescu

Hello! Today I released an update to ampr-ripd (1.16) and amprd (1.5) to support ipip encapsulation on subnets which have their endpoints BGP announced in the 44net space. Just compile and replace your current daemon executable file (stop the old one first). No changes in configuration should be necessary. Get them as usual from my ham project page: Internet: http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-ripd-1.16.tgz http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/amprd-1.5.tgz 44net: http://yo2tm.ampr.org/hamprojects/ampr-ripd-1.16.tgz http://yo2tm.ampr.org/hamprojects/amprd-1.5.tgz 73 de Marius, YO2LOJ

It is. Now I see what is wrong, the firewall log is full of: Apr 6 19:47:01 Packet REJECT: IN=eth0 OUT= SRC=45.63.97.98 DST=213.222.29.194 LEN=104 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=52 ID=19182 DF PROTO=4 That source address apparently belongs to you but it is not the tunnel endpoint. We reject all protocol 4 traffic from hosts not in the RIP broadcast for tunnels. Rob

Re: [44net] Gatway up

> We do this for a large percentage of our customers without issue. We route public subnets to customer specific firewalls which then translate those addresses to internal hosts: You are doing NAT. I know this is customary in commercial internet practice but in HAMNET/AMPRnet we don't like NAT. (too much time is wasted by debugging the issues caused by inserting NAT into networks that also have direct routing) Rob

When you get BGP routing on internet for a certain subnet, you should install and register an IPIP tunnel gateway for the same subnet as well. Until now this required a public (outside net 44) IP address on the gateway system, but with the mod discussed in this thread you may be able to put the tunnel endpoint inside your BGP routed subnet. Of course it will take some time for all people to pickup the necessary software and configuration changes for this to actually work. So you will still be reachable for only part of the users for some time. Rob
