NTP at gw.ampr.org
by lleachii＠aol.com 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

All, I'm not sure to whom to direct this question. I'm trying to research who informed me (likely the late Brian Kantor WB6CYT, SK) - that an NTP server exists at 44.0.0.1 (gw.ampr.org). Just doing some usual testing and updating of my node, I observed that there's no longer a NTP response from that IP. Is this by design, another issue, etc? I just wanted to ask, especially since AMPRGW is listed on the Wiki as an available NTP server. I wanted to update that information if the service no longer operates on that IP. -- 73, - LynwoodKB3VWG

Now accepting applications for the 2023 Technical Activities Committee (TAC)
by Dan Romanchik KB6NU 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Hi, all: We are now accepting applications from those wishing to serve on our Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in 2023. These are volunteer positions, with a term of one year (January to December). Please submit applications by Nov. 12, 2022! About the TAC The primary role of the TAC is to advise on 44Net technology, architecture, and policy. In 2022, the committee worked on providing feedback on a survey released to 44Net users, which garnered over 1700 responses from all over the world. Additionally, they developed a feature requirements document <https://www.ampr.org/wp-content/uploads/2022-09-Portal-Features-Requirement…> for an updated portal, which we use for 44Net address space allocations. 2023 Goals & Time Commitment In 2023, the TAC will continue its work on refining 44Net use-cases and standards. Goals include further development of the portal mentioned above, researching and developing a proposal for Points for Presence (PoPs) based on existing use cases and best practices, and conversations with the 44Net community about IPv6. Note that though there may be some prototyping and development, the majority of the work may be document-focused. The TAC usually meets once or twice a month for at least an hour. Additional time may be spent working on or taking meetings related to the projects mentioned above. How to Apply If you are interested in joining the TAC, please send a resume and brief cover letter to contact(a)ardc.net <mailto:contact@ardc.net> by November 12, 2022. In your cover letter, which can be brief, please outline: Your experience with 44Net, networking, development, and/or amateur radio, Your experience working with networking and similar technologies, and What you could see yourself contributing in 2023. Please submit applications by Nov. 12, 2022! We’ll review all applications and seek to make a determination by December 7, 2022. Meetings will begin mid-January. For more information about the roles and duties of these committees, you can read the Advisory Committee Policy in full here. <https://www.ampr.org/advisory-committee-policy/> Please direct any questions to contact(a)ardc.net <mailto:contact@ardc.net>.

More problems with Edgerouter X setup
by Stephen Atkins 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

I'm trying to use the instructions at https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_gateway_on_Ubiquiti_EdgeRouter and I thought everything was working but I'm having and issues. eth0 is my internet at 50.93.51.24 eth1 is my 192.168.1.x network eth2 is my 44.135.148.129 switch0 is 192.168.1.1/24 tun44 was setup using the instructions (used 44 instead of 0) I added the protocols (changed next-hop to tun44) Added all the firewall modifications (keeping table 1) I have setup in the portal my gateway at 50.93.51.24 (Did this yesterday). My linux box has two network cards. One on 192.168.1.110 and the other is set to 44.135.148.130/27. My problem is I can't ping from the outside world to my linux box on the 44 network. On my linux box when I try and ping any 44 network (like 44.60.44.10) none of the packets make it through. I tried pinging 44.60.44.10 from the Edgerouter command line and it won't make it either. I'm sure I missed something but I don't know what it might be. Any help would be appreciated. Stephen Atkins VE6CPU/VE6STA/VE6SU Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

Setup Edgerouter X
by Stephen Atkins 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

I'm trying to follow the instructions on https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Installing_ampr-ripd_on_a_Ubiquiti_EdgeRouter_or… but I'm not getting it and I've reset back to the default settings. I've got the router setup and working as a gateway with external IP of 75.158.135.117 which was given by DHCP from my ISP and is on eth0. On eth1 is set as my internal network as 192.168.1.1/24. I have two ethernet adapters on my computer. One is going to eth1 on the router. The other is on eth2 on the router which is currently not configured. I was thinking eth2 would be my 44 net. I have setup a DMZ so everything that comes in to eth0 goes to my computer (I have a lot of servers running on that machine so if you scan it you will get lots of hits. Have fun until I lock it down). I'm hitting a snag on the very first part of router prep. Where it says to edit the WAN_LOCAL rule set. Under which do I add these? Under source NAT rule or destination NAT rule? BTW I'm running ER3 Lite 1.10.11 on my router. Once I figure out a few of these things I can take some snap shots of my setup to add to the wiki page to help future setups.

Re: KB3VWG node - migrated to Netgear WAX202
by lleachii＠aol.com 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

David, - I opted for the WAX202 after seeing this discussion: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/wax202-30-at-us-staples/138622/31 - regarding the other models, I don't see any other WAX models supported in the OpenWrt Table of hardware - https://openwrt.org/toh/start - To my understanding, the Netgear firmware only produces an Access Point, as I need a router, C++ libraries to run ampr-ripd, snmp, NetFlow, firewall, etc., I've switched to OpenWrt already. I rarely run OEM firmware. - While MAC filtering is not suggested as a security feature, yes - OpenWrt does support it. I'm not aware of any limits. See the macfilter WiFi config here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic#common_options1 I am considering WiFi 6E; but I currently have no devices possessing a 6 GHz chip. This will definitely be a consideration for my next device purchase Also, I found another sale at Office Depot: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/3002477/Netgear-Desktop-Wireless-Acc… -- - KB3VWG

EdgeOS and encap file
by Stephen Atkins 16 Oct '22

16 Oct '22

I'm finally getting my 44net router going. I've got an ipip tunnel going. I havent done any ping tests through it yet as I need to run another network cable. But I'm trying to figure out how to get the routing table loaded. I must be blind or to tired to find the instructions. Can someone point me in the right direction? After that I just need to get an ampr domain set. Thanks Stephen Atkins VE6CPU/VE6STA/VE6SU Sent from Proton Mail mobile

Re: Testing 1 2 3 4
by Harold Kinchelow 15 Oct '22

Alrighty everyone. So I know my gateway is happy being part of the AmprNet, ( My tunl0 interface is working) because I get the correct IP address of my 1 and only host (for now) on my local AmprNet network when using Rob’s http://44.60.44.10/whatismyip/ Woo Hoo. The biggest part of this is done. But my only problem now is… I can resolve, ping, and get ping responses using hostnames such as Bob’s linux.ve3mch.ampr.org and every other hostname’s he has, on my Gateway machines terminal but NOT from the 1 and only host(for now). BUT!! I can ping their IP addresses. I know this is a DNS issue but what DNS entry should I be using on my AmprNet host to resolve domain names to their IP addresses on the AmprNet? Should I be running my own? Not really sure where to attack this issue. After this, I believe I’ll be ready to pitch my services to the MESH network guys here in the Valley to see what interest I can spun up in joining at least a couple of nodes for now onto the AmprNet itself. Also ill work on returning my packet node to service after a few years and have it available on the AmprNet. Thanks all. I have faith in this.

I changed web browsers and was able to log in. Here is what is in the portal for my gateway. Both subnets are listed, but indeed only the first one is in the encap.txt file. [cid:ii_l97dnxsc0] Evidently the subnet that is not in encap.txt is being advertised via RIP44 because various people are able to communicate with my IP's in 44.92.0.64/28<http://44.92.0.64/28>. 73, Lee K5DAT On Wed, Oct 12, 2022 at 9:18 PM Lee D Bengston <kilo5dat(a)gmail.com<mailto:kilo5dat@gmail.com>> wrote: Harold, Nothing has been down on my end. I think most people use ampr-ripd these days to get the routes, so not being in the encap.txt file would not affect them. I have 8 or 9 AXIP links between my packet node and others over amprnet, and all of them are up and have been for weeks. It does look like my password expired on the portal, so I need to address that. I would think if I didn't log in to the portal often enough, and they wanted to suspend my allocation, then the routes for my allocation would disappear from the ampr-ripd broadcast AND the encap.txt file. I seem to recall when I first started playing with amprnet that there were routes missing in encap.txt.

website migration
by Robert Simmons 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

Jay... This is from Bob Simmons, ( WB6EYV ) I used to live in SB. ( now in Santa Maria, retired ) You might recall me, I've been an Impulse customer for decades. I have a problem, maybe you can help. or know who can help... or maybe not. I know you are a busy fellow, you may want to hand this off to someone else... I will understand. Not sure if I am asking for something difficult, or even impossible... but here goes. +++++++++++++ I was told recently my ( personal ) IMPULSE website service will be discontinued end of October, and I must relocate my website elsewhere. My email was already relocated ( by your people ) to HIIWAY in Alabama, so I decided they would also be the new host for my website. ++++++++++++ The problem is this : I want to preserve all the old legacy bookmarks ( if possible ) that pointed to my website at the original SILICON BEACH address : www.silcom.com/~pelican2 There must be thousands of those bookmarks out there, my website hasn't moved in over 20 years. I created it in a personal website space ( not a business space ) because originally I just wanted to learn how to make websites, and that space was "free" with my internet service. I used it to learn how to make ( simple ) websites, and also to show off my technical skills by describing a Doppler DF I had created. It morphed eventually into a business site, ( with modest success ) but that was not my original intention, and I never bothered to move it. I don't make much $ from it these days but lots of people still find me with it, and I sometimes get work opportunities from it. ++++++++++++++ If I move my website to the HIIWAY servers, all those bookmarks will "go dead", and 20 years of internet "profile" will be lost. I spoke with HIIWAY people, they don't own the SILCOM.COM domain so there isn't much they can do. I was hoping you folks might be able to create a REDIRECT from the original website address in your domain to the new HIIWAY address. I don't know the HIIWAY address yet. I haven't moved the website yet. I wanted first to discover if this request is even possible. I suspect it is highly unorthodox, you might decline to even attempt it. If that is true, I'll try to figure something else out, or just "bite the bullet" and kiss the legacy bookmarks "good bye". Either way, the sooner I can discover if it is possible / practical, the sooner I can get back to the work of moving the website. ++++++++++++++ I hope you get this and respond in a timely manner, I only have maybe 2 weeks left. That should be plenty of time to move it, but I've never moved a website before, I expect unknown problems in the transition. so I might need the spare time for troubleshooting. Anyway, thanks again for all your help over the years. it was priceless. Hope things are well there. ( Email is probably best way to respond, I usually ignore cell calls from unknown numbers ) Regards Bob Simmons / WB6EYV 1600 East Clark Ave Space 68 Orcutt CA 93455 ( 805 ) 598 3542 cell
