I've bitten the bullet and started to make some progress getting on 44net.
I'm certain my current issues are firewall and I'll get it sorted out. My
non-ham network is in the 172.29.60.0/22 range. I don't think I'm leaking
internal stuff to my partially built tunnel but If anyone sees packets from
that block please let me know.
Status: Attempted to ping 44.0.0.1 on a system on the ampr enclave on my
network, With tcpdump listening on the gateway ampr0 interface I can see
packets going out on the interface but that doesn't mean the packets are
getting out of the box. I'm not seeing a response but like I said, I think
it's a firewall issue.
I just wanted to say Hi to to everyone and say I'm looking forward to
exchanging packets with everyone

Is this an issue? The AXUDP protocol simply is "put AX.25 frames in UDP
datagrams" and an UDP datagram can be nearly 64KB in size so I would not
think there are any issues. UDP and IP handle the fragmentation and
reassembly and the receiver gets the original datagram to insert it into
the AX.25 stack.
Of course, AXUDP senders should not set the DF flag, and if they do, they
should not expect more than about 512 bytes maximum frame size. Which
still is enough for classic AX.25 packet radio.

The actual AX.25 version and extensions like jumbo frames and extended
sequence numbers should not affect AXUDP at all. The UDP layer only replaces
the HDLC layer normally used to transfer data over radio, and all things
happening in AX.25 should be compatible between the endpoints, as always.

I now found how that happened...
I use my @amsat.org address on this list, and I found that the forward address has been reset about 2 weeks
ago, back to a value that it was a few months ago. I had changed it since.
I still receive most of my mail because that other path still sort of works, but it tends to block a lot of mail that
from the amsat.org forwarder as spam.
So I now found a couple of mails in a spamfolder where I normally don't look anymore.
I'm not sure what happened, there appears to be no announcement on the amsat.org page, but it could be
that they had to restore a backup of the alias database. So when you use amsat.org and changed your
forwarding address, it might be worthwhile to check if it is still OK.

I have received repeated requests from a non licensed user. When I reject,
he resubmits. It is obvious that this person may have an alterior motive
as it is a hosting company.
What to do in such cases? I have just let the request sit. None of the
hams or it people in my area have ever heard of the hoster.
Any way to ban a submission?
Best,
Elias

That is a good point!
There should be an optional text record for each network, to be entered by
its coordinator, about the local requirements for allocation and that will
be displayed on the request form above the input section.

I don't think that will help. In the cases where I did not get a response from
others it usually turned out they were moving, busy at work, etc.
Overwhelming them with more notices is not going to solve that.

That is correct. There should be an option for the coordinator to abandon
the request and take the thing to e-mail. Now the only option is to reject
the request, which often upsets the requester and also (because of language barriers)
the requester often clicks all links in the message, causing it to be re-submitted.
I would like to see a button on that screen that just deletes the request without
further mail towards the requester, so I can then send mail and explain the situation.

Hi Pascal,
Well I did not get a mail from you, probably it has been lost somewhere due to spamfiltering.
Good to hear you use a MikroTik router! It is possible to fix it on this kind of router.
When you go to the IP->Firewall page and open the NAT tab, you will find an existing NAT
rule that you use for your internet connection. It will probably show something like
"masquerade", chain srcnat, out.interface ether1.
You can just add another item like that, with the settings:
chain srcnat
src.address 192.168.0.0/16
out interface ! ether1 (click in the empty box for the ! to appear and select your internet interface)
action src-nat
to address 44.135.50.x (select an address you want to use for this)
That should fix your problem, assuming you use this router only for internet and hamnet and
have no other interfaces to other networks.
This rule will make any traffic from the 192.168 range to be translated to a fixed address in hamnet
(but only when it is not sent to the internet interface, that is where the other rule applies)

Tom.
Can you validate why using a county scheme is misguided?
