GRE tunnels
by pete M 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Hi everyone, Anyone been playing with GRE tunneling? I am looking at that solution to bring part of my /24 to sites where I have multiple machine that each need a 44 address. GRE have no encryption, it is only an encapsulation of a Layer 2 packet. This lower the actual possible MTU size lowering the throughput slightly. But it is an easy way to connect a site to the VPS. At the same time, we dont need encryption as all the data that are passing into that tunnel is supposed to be ok to route on the internet. and if they contain special thing they should already be encrypted with tls/ssl or other mean of securing the connection. Anyone have experience with this? I would then use openvpn is its normal way for simple client. Then I imagine I will need to bridge both tunnel so that every one could talk to each other at the VPS level. Sounds plausible? Pierre VE2PF

Pierre, I'd personally suggest OpenVPN Access Server. There's a straightforward web GUI to setup everything. I think DHCP/Layer 2 requires Windows clients. https://openvpn.net/download-open-vpn/ 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG

OT: Any OpenVPN Guru here?
by pete M 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hi, me again with an OT kind of topic. I have been pretty happy with the way the vps at vultr and the bgp announce been doing, this did not missed a beat since it been fix, again thanks to every one that helped. Now I need a push in the right direction for OpenVpn. Went on the openvpn forum, asked a noob question, got shamed post by a prick, waited for someone else to try to help me. Now I am asking the ham community for help. I have seen many tutorial/video/explanation and how to's for OpenVpn. Most are tutorial where, you start a script, enter some magic numbers its start installing package after package and it start working. Youhou! NOT! That ain't the kind of stuff I am looking for. If I want to support the server and be able to debug it in case it fail I need to know where and how all this works. Let me tell you my goal. I will have multiple site that will connect to the vpn server. on those site Multiple machine will need a 44net address. some will have fix address but I want to also have some assigned by dhcp. Now I could also have some simple client that will connect and those will have dhcp address. How do I manage that into OpenVpn. Does the dhcp vs fix address is managed by the OpenVpn config? Or does I need to have a local dhcp server at the site (the router that will connect as the client) will I have to do some bridging between my site (client to client communication)? And finally is there a real good how to that is not 300 page long, as hard to read as the U.N. whole bylaws and treaty and that a layman can understand somewhere& hopefully that is not a recipe that say, add some pixi dust here, open notepad 3 time while typing "I will not read my sister's diary in front of the whole class" Copyright the Simpson's . 200 time, without saving the file between each opening and closing, and hoping that it will do the job. >From a pretty tired guy of searching the answer to life. Yeah I know its 42. Pierre VE2PF

That is why the discussion and exposing the long dormant system to new users. These are not rules but logical suggestion on using the system while playing nice in the sandbox called the entire planet. Time will tell, but not if we do not talk about it in the open. I agree about chat clients. I use HexChat. -- 73 de N2NOV

Proposed WWconvers Channel Scheme
by n2nov＠n2nov.ampr.org 27 Nov '20

27 Nov '20

PROPOSED WWCONVERS CHANNEL SCHEME There are 32767 possible channels in the WWconvers with channel 0 reserved for a local bbs to use as it's default when users log onto their system. Finding other stations by area, interest or any other special use can get a little confusing. Some countries have settled on a scheme where their users can find each other based on the second number of their assigned 44Net (AMPR) address. For example, Greece is assigned 44.154.0.0/16 and they can be found on channel 154. In the USA (because of sheer numbers of systems over the years) the second number in the address is typically an entire state with some having multiple subnets (California has 6). There has been an effort in recent years to clean up the numbers and subnets no longer in use and this resulted in the range from 44.191.0.0/16 to 44.255.0.0/16 to be sold to Amazon. To make things easier, I am proposing a somewhat logical layout to the channel usage, not only by the 44Net addresses but also by specilized uses for activities and watering holes like HF/VHF/UHF frequencies. As you can see, there will be plenty of space for adhoc arrangements. Discussions are welcomed and encouraged as how to use this space for the benefit of many different groups and interests. DEFAULT Channel 0 . default local use and not propagated across the WWconvers system. REGIONAL Channel 1 through 190 . based on second number in the 44Net/AMPR addresses MATCHING TO RF FREQUENCY USED (ie: net on 7240 kHz would use channel 7240) 1800-1999 160m Channels 3500-3999 80m Channels 7000-7299 40m Channels 10100-10149 30m Channels 14000-14349 20m Channels 18068-18167 17m Channels 21000-21449 20m Channels 24890-24989 12m Channels 28000-29699 10m Channels 5000-5399 6m Channels 14400-14799 2m Channels 22200-22499 1.25m Channels 4200-4499 70cm Channels 9020-9279 33cm Channels 12400-12999 23cm Channels CURRENT SPECIALTY USERS 625 . UHF Amateur TV Channel in UK 10177 . OK2KOJ Club Channel in Czech Republic 14736 . WC2OEM Channel for NYC Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Service SET AS LOCAL BBS USE (ie. JNOS Systems, etc) 211 . Local NCS/ALT Channel for nets 411 . Local WX Event Channel (Skywarn nets) 911 . Local Emergency Net Activation Channel -- 73 de N2NOV

Hub_NA WWconvers Available For Use
by n2nov＠n2nov.ampr.org 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

For those who have the capability to link their systems for WWconvers/chat, I host the Hub_NA chat server that links to various chat hubs in Europe. We are hoping that systems in other parts of the world get set up for chat. Hub_NA can be reached at 44.68.41.2 or convers.n2nov.net, both on port 3600. If you are using the non-44Net address, you have to contact me first at n2nov(a)n2nov.net to be added to the permissions file. -- 73 de N2NOV

Non-stop DNS requests
by lleachii＠aol.com 24 Nov '20

All, Can the operator of 44.178.0.0/30 contact me off thread and/or reconfigure their gateway's public 93.123.xxx.xxx address - as to stop sending incessant DNS requests. This traffic is blocked at my firewall and using the resources of AMPRGW. As an FYI and reminder, operators should use 44net IPs to access the DNS service. (times UTC) 09:06:20.787664 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 44, id 61193, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 64) 93.123.xxx.xxx.5678 > 44.60.44.3.53: [udp sum ok] 42486+ A? cloud.mikrotik.com.

Help with tunnel
by Rodrigo Pérez CD5RPY 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Hi, Some time ago I requested a /24 subnet. I have my network and I'm trying to make it work but with no success. I follow this tutorial https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_gateway_on_MikroTik_Routers but it doesn't work. After this, I read that I need a dns record in ampr.org and fill the contact form in portal.ampr.org without answer yet. My other option is to change the network to bgp (my datacenter supports bgp). Can anyone help me to make my network work? Thanks ! -- Rodrigo Pérez R. CD5RPY

(openvpn is a vpn solution, but if you have other/better solution I am open). one little other thing. will the connection by the vpn be limited to one ip address by tunel or can I specify the number of address available by client configuration? one other thing, is there a dashboard to control/monitor by a web interface a server like openvpn? thanks Pierre VE2PF
