amsat.org mail

Earlier I wrote: > Well I did not get a mail from you, probably it has been lost somewhere due to spamfiltering. 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. Rob

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?

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.

In reading through these threads, it appears there can be some variance in what may be required by each coordinator. Perhaps instead of free form text block there could be a means to prompt for some of the information that would be considered qualifying fields. That is a good point!

The portal already automatically sends reminder notices > to coordinators with outstanding allocation requests, twice a month. > If all the coordinators agree, we could change that to weekly. 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. > I find that the coordinations which take more than a few minutes to handle > are those where the requester is confused and asking for something that > is not sensible, so an email exchange is necessary to get the request > straightened out. 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. Rob

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) Rob

How to reach VE2HOM?
by Rob Janssen 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Does anyone know how to reach VE2HOM? He is keeping his contact information well-hidden, it appears. His gateway at 206.80.251.222 is sending a lot of traffic with RFC1918 source address: Feb 19 15:00:53 Packet DROP: IN=tunl0 OUT=eth1 TUNL=206.80.251.222 SRC=192.168.0.5 DST=44.137.42.18 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=62 ID=13455 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=40510 DPT=443 WINDOW=29200 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Feb 19 15:00:57 Packet DROP: IN=tunl0 OUT=eth1 TUNL=206.80.251.222 SRC=192.168.0.5 DST=44.137.42.18 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=62 ID=38262 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=40512 DPT=443 WINDOW=29200 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Feb 19 15:01:01 Packet DROP: IN=tunl0 OUT=eth1 TUNL=206.80.251.222 SRC=192.168.0.5 DST=44.137.42.18 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=62 ID=14124 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=40480 DPT=443 WINDOW=29200 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Everyone remember: when you are combining the routing of AMPRnet and other network traffic, make sure you have the proper routing and/or NAT rules in place, and preferably also a filter, to make sure you don't send traffic with a source address like 192.168.0.5 into an AMPRnet tunnel.

Has any one successfully configured the Ubiquity UniFi Gateway to work with Amprnet ? If so would you be willing to share your configuration. Thanks

> I am trying to get a feel for how active AMPR is today. This varies a lot by region. The old network (1200/9600 bps packet radio) is completely dead in most regions and what is left over in those speeds is usually only APRS, so unrelated to IP used in AMPRnet. However, in some places new networks are being built using WiFi technology. Much faster and much more usable. Plus there is tunneling and direct routing of the net-44 space over internet to interconnect those islands. Rob
