Abuse or not abuse ?
by F4HIN 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

Hello I'm going to tell you a story that does not makes me laugh at all. I am part of an nonprofit ISP in France. This ISP offers internet access, but also BGP tunnels to announce your own IP on the internet. Some time ago, by several discussions, I found that a person member of the association and not ham had an allocation /24 Hamnet announced via its own AS via the AS of the association. Afterwards, after several information gathering, I noticed that this person was using it to propose hosting of small virtual machines and was allocating a Hamnet IP on these hosted VM. I warned this person that he did not have to have a Hamnet block, and that he should not do this type of use since he is not a ham His answer was clear "it's free, and I don't care". In reality, after searching on the AMPR portal, this block was assigned to a ham. This ham is the national Hamnet coordinator of a country, and the person using and misusing it is none other than his son who is not a ham! I did not say anything until now, out of respect for the national coordinator. Today, there is a member of the association who complains about receiving scans from a Hamnet IP belonging to the block used by the non-amateur. jul/15/2022 0l:02:56 system, error, critical login failure for user root from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 0l:02:56 system, error, critical login failure for user msfadmin from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 0l:02:57 system, error, critical login failure for user root from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 01:02:57 system, error, critical login failure for user root from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 0l:02:57 system, error, critical login failure for user postgres from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 01:02:58 system, error, critical login failure for user service from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 01:02:58 system, error, critical login failure for user vagrant from 44.151.129.214 via ssh jul/15/2022 01:02:58 system, error, critical login failure for user admin from 44.151.129.214 via ssh To summarize, this person: - Has a hamnet block without being a ham radio operator, - Has obtained a legitimate hamnet block from another amateur radio operator, - makes a "commercial" use of it by assigning IP to VMs for clients or friends of his, - Let the VMs get drilled and scan/hacked with a hamnet IP. I think it's time to set the record straight, stop assigning blocks to people who use them for commercial or non-amateur use. What do you think about it? -- Gary F4HIN

New to amprnet have some questions
by ken＠kc2idb.net 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

Hello all, So I have been assigned a block of IPs and have successfully created a gateway. I am able to pass traffic trough it as expected and it works as one would expect. However... My intended use case for amprnet includes a lot of VOIP traffic, which as we all know is heavily dependent on latency and bandwidth. I am currrently utilizing the IPIP tunnel approach to connect my gateway into the system. My questions are, 1. If I deploy my VOIP services on 44Net with my current configuration, what are the pitfalls? 2. If I announce my gateway via BGP will my throughput then be limited to uscd gateway, or will it be based on my connection speed? 3. I know some vpn capabilities have been introduced into the system, I presume that my connection will then be rated based on the connection at the VPN server location. Thank you so much! I appreciate the opportunity given here to learn and expand my knowledge. 73, de KC2IDB

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
