How to connect to AMPR NET from OPENVPN
by tomfuller56＠gmail.com 12 Jun '22

12 Jun '22

Hello All, I am new to AMPR NET and I am trying to understand how to connect to AMPR NET from OPEN VPN. I am not sure if I have OPEN VPN correctly configured yet. If someone could please provide some basic setup and instructions how to connect to AMPR NET from OPEN VPN. Thus far I have searched the web and have not found much info besides configuration errors in OPEN VPN that others have encountered. 1. Can anyone please let me know what message I will receive on the OPEN VPN to let me know it is working properly. 2. And once OPEN VPN is configured correctly how do I connect to the AMPR NET? 3. Will I need any kind of 44 address to access the AMPR NET from OPEN VPN or can I still explore AMPR NET just thru the OPEN VPN? thanks in advance, Thomas Fuller KE4QCM

Hello 44Net Mailing List, There has been a lot of discussion on this list about the state of 44Net. Some people like how it works, some would like to see an upgrade. In order to make an informed decision that takes a variety of viewpoints into account, ARDC is conducting an assessment. For the first phase, we’ve put together a survey, which we'd love for you to fill out. Our aim is to get input from as many people as possible to help influence the network’s next chapter. Click here to go to the survey: survey.ardc.net (Please note that the above is a redirect.) We expect that it will take around 15 minutes to complete. The survey is currently being translated into French, German, and Japanese, shoud you prefer to take it in another language. Thank you for your patience as we complete professional translations.

Chris For our routing we now have our Static IP address from T-Mobile 5G. It is: 162.191.104.176 We have tried the Unbuntu Linux info but have had no success for the IPIP tunnel. Do you need any further information as the encap(date).txt does not show our allocation: 44.63.63.128/26 in the encap file? Previous Email ... C 44.63.63.128 /26 might be non listed.

Problems with ampr-ripd on EdgeRouter X
by Rob French 28 May '22

28 May '22

Hello! Here's my setup and problem. I originally setup my ER-X (successfully) using the "Setting up a gateway on Ubiquiti EdgeRouter" instructions. I was able to interact with the AMPR gateway, but discovered that I of course couldn't access the various other 44net subnets. So I decided to switch to the instructions under "Installing ampr-ripd on a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter or EdgeRouter X". I believe I did a good job of "unrolling" the changes from the first instructions. I removed my previous 'tun0' interface, associated firewall rules, etc (basically, anything I created in the first set of instructions, I removed, and have verified via the ER-X config tree). Then I created my IP-IP tunnel setup using the second set of instructions. Here's what I have: My modem to the outside world is my AT&T Uverse DSL modem. I have it in DMZplus mode where the ER-X (which lives 'behind' the modem) is actually assigned the external IP of 23.118.163.99. All traffic for any port should get pushed to the ER-X. eth0 on the ER-X is the WAN connection to the modem. eth1/3/4 go to various other home network VLANs. eth2 is configured for my 44net subnet (44.46.1.56/29). The router is 44.46.1.57. I have one host (a Raspberry Pi) on the subnet at 44.46.1.62. DNS for kc4upr.ampr.org is mapped to 44.46.1.62; I do not have a DNS entry for the router itself (don't know if that's a problem???). tun44 is setup per the instructions, with the address as 44.46.1.57/29, the local-ip as 23.118.163.99, the remote-ip as 0.0.0.0, and encapsulation as ipip. I have the firewall rules configured per the instructions. I downloaded and installed ampr-ripd; the only tweak I made to the ampr.sh script was to add "-L KC4UPR@EM48qr" (I did not add any -a entries). I also installed the status wizard. Checking the status wizard, I see that the ripd daemon is running, and there are 737 routes. I see 4 sensible static routes, 5 bypass routes that I assume make sense, and then a bunch of AMPR routes that look similar to what comes out of the encap.txt file. I do see that my status and location show up correctly at http://www.yo2loj.ro/ampr-map/, and that my status is updating every 5 minutes per the ampr-ripd daemon. I looked at the source code, and verified that the way that the script "phones home" is via IP 44.182.21.1. So "something" on my system must be able to actually access 44net, right??? Here are my problem observations, however: - I cannot seem to access anything on 44net, whether via my Raspberry Pi or directly from the router. Pings never return, and traceroute all ends at the router (44.46.1.57). - Looking at my firewall policies, reviewing the stats, 0 packets/bytes have been processed by my "allow ipip from wan" rule for the wan-local policy (it's the first rule). Zero (0) packets whatsoever have been processed by either my 44Net-in or 44Net-local policies. So clearly something is not right there... - I ran 'show ip route' on the router. There are 4 routes associated with 44Net: 1 for my subnet, connected to eth2. One for the router itself, connected to tun44. The other two routes are for 44.0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10, both via 169.228.34.84; both marked 'inactive' (is that a problem?). - I also ran 'show interfaces tunnel tun44'. It shows lots of TX bytes, but 0 RX bytes. - Also, I noticed that on the ER-X 'Routing' page, I can filter on 'RIP'. There are no routes under RIP... should it be that way? Obviously my tunnel isn't working (even though I somehow still update location???). Any thoughts? Thanks, Rob KC4UPR -- scrape.sdf.org

One correction... the local-ip on tun44, per the instructions, is 44.46.1.57/32. Rob KC4UPR -- scrape.sdf.org
