Services hosted on AMPRNet
by Neill Thornton 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Hey fellow AMPRs! I have been playing around with devices in my allocated block today, and realized there doesn't seem to be a consolidated place to show where services might be hosted on the AMPRNet... for example a GPS trained NTP server, IRC server, etc... allowing amateur related traffic to stay on the 44/8. Does something like that exist? Is there any reason to not make services like I am describing available to other hams? Thanks, Neill

Nevermind, turns out one of the files I was using still had some XML stuff in it. So now I have it working with SecurePoint OpenVPN in Windows 7: http://sourceforge.net/projects/securepoint/ And CentOS 5.5 using openvpn 2.2.2, as well as on as Raspberry Pi, raspbian, openvpn 2.2.1 Roland, are you attempting to connect using the GUI in Ubuntu 15.04 or using the command line?

(or .ovpn when you want to use it on Windows) The certificates and keys van be put in the file "inline". I use this method for distribution of openvpn configs that can be used with our national VPN gateway (only available for Dutch stations), for which we generate certificates and send them to the users. The file for the amprnet vpn system would look like this: client dev tun proto udp remote amprnet-vpn1.aprs.fi 1773 resolv-retry infinite persist-key persist-tun comp-lzo verb 3 ca [inline] cert [inline] key [inline] <ca> contents of the amprnet-vpn-ca.crt file </ca> <cert> contents of the client.crt file </cert> <key> contents of the client.key file </key> This makes it easier to move the certificate around, use it on Windows, etc. Only really old versions of the openvpn client, today only found on devices like NAS that have not updated for a long time, do not support the [inline] construct.

I just gave it a try for the first time ever. A couple years back I applied for a Log of the World certificate and never really took it any further. I guess I forgot. Mistake #1 for me was only backing up the KB9MWR.p12 and KB9MWR.tq6 files a couple years ago. That was on a former computer. I should have backup up the whole, C:\Documents and Settings\your-username\Application Data\TrustedQSL directory, or just completed the process and made the openvpn keys back then. Anyway no big deal, just a few more hoops to have the certificates re-issued. I just followed this, for a CentOS 5 system and it took right off: http://wiki.ampr.org/index.php/AMPRNet_VPN Make sure you have these files in your /etc/openvpn directory: amprnet-vpn-ca.crt client.conf client.crt client.key Aside from that we are going to need a bit more detail to further help you. What does the openvpn daemon say when you start it?

Please MAKE SURE that you block all incoming SNMP traffic from internet to amprnet! (especially when you are using community names like "public") The bad guys use SNMP as an attack amplifier. One time I moved a switch to another address and it became exposed, and within 3 days I had an abuse report. Now I have a general rule that drops all SNMP at our gateway. (of course the real problem is the ISPs that refuse to implement BCP38, source address filtering) Rob

Portal API "Heads Up"
by G1FEF 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

For those of you using the Portal’s API, this is a “heads up” to check your client code… It was pointed out to me that the JSON encoding the API returns was slightly non-standard. Having looked into the issue this seems to be the case, so I have today corrected the error and bumped the version. Just check your client is still decoding the output correctly - most libraries would have happily accepted the JSON variant I was using, so chances are you won’t need to change anything, but if you coded your own JSON decode routine… Regards, Chris
