> I was thinking what would be helpful is if there was specific information required, it would be good to prompt for it ahead of time. 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! 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.

> Thanks Tom. 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

Greetings, I am trying to get a feel for how active AMPR is today. I am a software developer by trade these days and am relatively new to the hobby but not to IT / networking. Looking for a place to get involved and give back to the community. Regards, Jim KD8MTY Sent from my iPhone

You probably are not running a full VM (hardware virtualization with a standard OS running in it) but paravirtualization like Xen which runs a special kernel in the guest machine. This is popular for providing virtual webservers and other "cloud" servers. However, as those servers are normally not full-featured, the guest kernel is compiled with limited selections in the kernel config, and it may well be that exotic features like IPIP tunnels are not provided in that config. When it is your own system, you could opt to compile your own kernel and modify the config while doing that. It may be easier to run the IPIP tunnel gateway on a dedicated system, e.g. a Raspberry Pi (as I do myself) or router (e.g. a MikroTik using Marius YO2LOJ's method. Rob
