Marius,
Thanks for the explanation, it helped clear up quite a few things I
wasn't clear on.
And yes after I removed the line:
ip route add default dev tunl0 via 169.228.66.251 onlink table 44
I can reach hamwan.org. hambook.de.ampr.org and am able to accept
connections from general internet IP's. So this was the secret for
me. Thanks
Steve

The reason (1 and 2) is that for a typical system that has both a public IP and an AMPRnet
IP and is to function on the IPIP mesh, you need policy routing when you want the AMPRnet
IP to be reachable from public IP addresses on internet.
Normal internet traffic is to go out using the public IP, possibly using NAT, and AMPRnet
traffic is to go out via the IPIP tunnels.
When such a system is on a source-address filtered internet connection, the default route
for outgoing AMPRnet traffic (to 0.0.0.0/0) is to go via an IPIP tunnel to another mesh system
that has unfiltered internet access. Typically the system at UCSD.
It is preferred that the varying gateway systems are configured only via RIP (usually in a
separate route table), and that it is not required to make specific policy routing configuration for
gateways. So the policy routing is static for 44.0.0.0/8.
This conflicts with the 44.x gateway addresses, because the traffic got incorrectly routed by
the routing policy (which is used both for the actual traffic and the encapsulated packets).
When people see a way around that (I don't completely oversee if Jann's suggestion will
achieve that), it would be no problem when tunnel endpoints exist within 44.x. Please see
the example configuration for Linux systems in the wiki and suggest a way how that could
be made working without manual "ip rule" entries dedicated to specific gateways. Or else,
those "ip rule" entries maybe could be managed by ampr-ripd, that would be fine as well.
Aside from that, of course it should still be validated that tunnel endpoints are not within
the subnet being tunneled (3). That is simply an error condition. There were some networks
that were claimed to be reachable via a tunnel at their first address (Sweden, for example)
and there were some entries with tunnel endpoint == tunneled address. The portal should
refuse that so that applicants are made aware of their error before such entries are broadcast
via RIP and result in encapsulation loops.
Rob
So to solve the issue of Existing AMPRnet tunnel users not being able to
reach BGP announced 44-net IP Space I've drawing the below drawing that shows
how this can be done without having Brian Kantor ask UCSD to make any
network/routing changes. This only requires at least 1 (or more) ISP (or
companies running BGP) willing to setup a BGP over GRE tunnel to Brian's server
to make this work. There are currently two ISP I know of willing to do this if
Brian is willing to do this on the AMPRnet Server shown in the drawing. This
only requires setting up BGP with a route-map for changing the next hop IP's and
running GRE tunnels on his server. The bonus is he can set this up with multiple
ISP so that there is redundancy. Since the ISP is only sending BGP routes of the
44 IP Space of size /16-/24, this will not consume very much routing table space
on his box (currently 53 prefixes). I also have to imagine the bandwidth going
over this GRE tunnels not going to be a huge amount.
So to summarize how this work. AMPRnet tunnel users can send traffic to
a BGP announced 44 ip space which would travel over their IPIP tunnels (perhaps
a low pref 44.0.0.0/8 route to UCSD in rip? or inject the BGP routes into RIP)
back to UCSD and then over the GRE tunnel to a ISP and then ride the internet to
get to that BGP announced block. Return traffic would just follow the existing
internet routing table and come back via the UCSD network.

Here is the 'autoexec.nos' I run here on Hamgate.Washtenaw.AMPR.org.
At the bottom, I have included the 'access.rc' TCP and IP access firewall
rules.
This 'autoexec.nos' is used on a DOS machine. It will require a few
tweeks to have it run on a Linux box.
Enjoy!

# **********
# TCP ACCESS is used to limit access to certain servers accessable by
# TCP/TELNET to specific ports. For example you may want to allow
# access to the SMTP server in your machine from all machines AMATEUR
# and NON-AMATEUR.
#
# TCP access stops a connection to a server from being built at only
# the machine at which it is installed. If you want to stop a gateway
# from routing TCP/IP packets from specific addresses to specific
# addresses you need to use the IP ACCESS code!

# IP ACCESS
# *********
# IP ACCESS is an important bit of code for a INTERNET/AMPRnet Gateway
# as it can be used to selectively allow or disallow the routing of
# TCP/IP packets based on source ip address, destination ip address,
# packet type [udp/tcp/..], UDP or TCP port number and interface port.
#
# For most gateways you would like to only pass AMPR.ORG originated
# ip address to other AMPR.ORG ip address (like UK and AUSTRALIAN LAW).
# Exceptions might be where local law allows Amateurs to originate to
# anywhere (including non-amateur destinations) as the replys are
# technically under the control of the originator (like USA and CANADIAN
# law).
#
# The idea behind IP ACCESS is to set up rules that will allow or deny
# routing of packets. Unlike the TCP ACCESS command, IP ACCESS does not
# restrict access to servers at the machine that is running this code. It
# does however restrict the gatewaying of IP packets accross interface
# ports.
#
# Valid PROTOCOLS are ICMP, UDP, TCP, and ANY (every thing else). Both
# ICMP and ANY do not allow specific port restrictions as port numbers
# are not really used for the other TCP/IP protocols.
#
# WHAT = <permit | deny | delete>
# PROT = <tcp | icmp | udp | any>
# PORT = ATTACHED INTERFACE/PORT
# LOW = TCP or UDP low port number
# HIGH = TCP or UDP high port number
#

I fail to see why that is a problem. Few gateway stations appear a day, and having to wait
5 minutes before they are routed is really no big deal. Before, many gateway stations loaded
a routing table maybe once a day, or even less frequently.
Again, we are a radio hobbyist network, not some financial trade network.

Again, let's first set up something that is popular and has many users, and then we can always
consider doing things like that. For now we, and many others, find ourselves fortunate to have
found a SINGLE ISP that wants to sponsor us. When we setup radio connections to our neighboring
countries we may achieve some redundancy. And I prefer that way over settting up a tunneling
system over the internet. Or even over routing over the internet. Remember we are an amateur
radio network, not some multinational company trying to setup a rendundant data network with
zero failures.

I am not talking about the work you do locally but about the way you approach "us" after you have found some
problem with your gateway implementation.
Not even mainly about the discussion that just has started, but about a similar discussion that was started
about the same topic some time ago. You continuously refer to Brian's system at UCSD as "broken", and
I don't like that attitude.
Especially not because it really is possible to fit in your system to co-exist in the network as it is now, as is
demonstrated by our gateway.

But that is already in place!! It is the IPIP tunnel mesh.
As long as you provide an IPIP tunnel for the subnet you advertise yourself on BGP, with
a tunnel endpoint on an internet address OUTSIDE 44.0.0.0/8, there is no problem at all!
We do have the same situation as UCSD at our gateway. Our ISP does the BGP advertising
of 44.137.0.0/16 and routes the traffic to the gateway. We have registered the same space
on the portal, and we have an external address for that (213.222.29.194). All the routing is fine,
also for people who send the traffic to UCSD. Because UCSD sees the more specific route 44.137.0.0/16
first and sends the traffic via IPIP to us, instead of sending it out to the default gw that would
bounce it back.
When you would set up the same configuration, you would be out of trouble.
When you don't want a single system to be responsible for the IPIP tunnel you can setup some
redundancy, as long as you don't "conveniently" take a subnet out of 44.0.0.0/8 for that, because
that does not work. It is known it does not work.

I don't agree with that. It will just make a new configuration necessary for something that now
works OK just by the mechanisms we already have.

Hi!
I have two questions:
1. Around 99% of all webcams on the HAMNET are *only* reachable if you
establish the connection using a *source-44* ip address. Do you think
this restriction is enough if you don't want to expose the webcam to the
internet but want to share with other AMPRNet users?
2. We tell our HAMNET users to put the route 44.0.0.0/8 via <wireless
router to HAMNET access point> into their DSL/cable routers. Some
well-known internet services for radio amateurs are nowadays hosted on
the internet using network44 addresses. Who needs to be blamed if the
connection from the HAMNET user to the well-known internet service is
not as stable as expected by the user?
