Hamcloud VPN
by Apostolos Kefalas 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Hello Everyone, I do not know if this is the appropriate list to ask this question but I can not find any other contact. So please ignore if this is irrelevant! I am trying to connect to HamCloud VPN service. So far I have imported my LOTW certificate to Mozilla Firefox 115.12.0esr and try to authenticate as a radio amateur against https://vpn.hc.r1.ampr.org by clicking on "Login ARRL LoTW" in order to get my credentials but the links do not seem to work! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Apostolos, SV1LJJ

a communication about communications
by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

Dear 44Net community, I think it’s safe to say that the past few months on this mailing list have been, well, a lot. ARDC launched a new portal, which, we learned post-launch, definitely had some major issues. Much of the frustration around this rollout is more than reasonable. Unfortunately, communications from a very vocal minority crossed a threshold from expressing warranted and reasonable frustration and shifted to hostility, flaming, and trolling. Harassment of some of our employees occurred off-list. It was at this point that ARDC’s Code of Conduct committee was brought into the discussion. The Committee’s purpose is to confirm whether, in fact, a dispute is simply a disagreement, or whether it is harassment, trolling, or similar. Necessarily, the Committee must not include people directly impacted by the dispute, so that they can, to the best of their ability, respond impartially. At an even higher level, their job is to uphold ARDC’s values – notably of respect, accountability, and fairness. https://www.ardc.net/about/values/ In the case of this dispute – as a previous mail forwarded to these lists described – the committee’s decision was to temporarily suspend the accounts of one or more mailing list members. Some mailing list members may not like this decision. Other mailing list members have applauded it. Some mailing list members are so frustrated by the entire situation that they are unsubscribing and/or relinquishing their posts (which, to me, is disheartening but understandable). In our decisions, we are not going to make everyone happy. It is the nature of making decisions in an environment with a variety of opinions. To maintain room for diversity of thought, our commitment must be, first and foremost, to keeping healthy, supportive spaces for dialogue, discussion, and learning. This means, at times, (ideally temporary) removal of people whose behaviors significantly detract from those goals. In the breathing room that has been created from the temporary suspension, I hope that we may all get back to solving technical and policy problems, and to engaging in open and respectful dialogue. Thank you for your attention. 73, Rosy -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ardc.net

** *Hey Everyone,* * Below are some updates from this week regarding 44Net: As of today, * About 34 new portal tickets remain (21% decrease from last week), and * About 288 tickets are open and awaiting response (1% increase from last week). Since April 3, we have closed 735 tickets (1% increase from last week). On the note of metrics, we recently had some great questions regarding key performance indicators (KPIs). We’re working on developing additional metrics to expose these once we have a production quality process in place. If any of you have any other questions regarding metrics, please let us know: any constructive feedback is welcome! Regarding DNS claims: if you have any that you would like deleted, please email a list to newportal(a)ardc.net <mailto:newportal@ardc.net>, and we’ll take care of deleting them for you. The following new features have been added to the portal: * Clubs and organizations are now able to add up to 10 of their own call signs by default. This number can be adjusted on a per club / organization basis. * The individual limit of 5 call signs is also now adjustable on a per user basis. * Individuals can now belong to multiple clubs / organizations on a single account, eliminating the need to create multiple logins if you are involved with several clubs / organizations. * A ‘Maps’ menu has been added: this allows users to generate a map from a Maidenhead locator, as well as perform distance and bearing calculations, and can convert from DMS to lat/long and back. If anyone has suggestions for useful tools to add to the portal, please let us know at newportal(a)ardc.net <mailto:newportal@ardc.net>. ARDC is Hiring: if you’re interested in applying for the role of Technology Department Manager, send a resume and cover letter to hr(a)ardc.net <mailto:hr@ardc.net>.

Update re: subdomains
by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV 26 Jun '24

26 Jun '24

Dear 44Net community, It’s been just over two months since we launched the new Portal. It came with, as you have seen, some major bumps. Today, ARDC is resolving, at least temporarily, one of those hurdles: administrative access to subdomains. As of today, anyone who had a subdomain with ampr.org before the launch of the new Portal on April 3, 2024, will, for now, have full access to their DNS records. This includes subdomains that fall outside of our preferred format of callsign.ampr.org. This administrative access still depends on call sign verification, which requires confirming given name, family name, email, and valid amateur radio license. This step helps us ensure that the network is being used by valid amateur radio operators. During our recent work, we’ve found several bad actors, which is both unfair to the community and a security risk. We’ve also made a functional change to the portal: once a call sign is verified, you are now automatically able to create a subdomain with the format of callsign.ampr.org. All other new requests for subdomains that fall outside of that format (e.g., foo.ampr.org, which I’ll refer to as nonstandard subdomains for brevity) will require review and approval. Please note that we will be limiting the number of nonstandard subdomains going forward. Thus, if you have one (or, in some cases, many more), please consider it temporary. You can currently create as many second-level subdomains as you want—e.g., foo.callsign.ampr.org, bar.callsign.ampr.org, etc. We are working on a more official policy around subdomains using ampr.org. As promised at the recent regional coordinators' meeting, we will ensure you can see this policy before officially implementing it. We will also provide a transition period, likely many months, for users to edit their entries before official deprecation. This is, ultimately, what we should have done initially, and we take responsibility for not following a better process and, instead, rolling out this change without taking proper preparatory steps. Some of you may be wondering why we are making this change in the first place. It is because, without doing so, we end up in our current and very unwieldy situation: a database of over 51,000 DNS entries, most without knowledge of who they belong to, accumulated over at least a decade, with very few entries currently in use. If we aim to increase the usage of 44Net, then we need a system where we understand ownership and are able to provide an efficient service where we can address problems as they arise. For now, we hope that this helps to unblock anyone that currently feels blocked, while also providing an ample notice for changes that are coming down the pipeline at a later, though likely not-so-distant date. If you have questions, please ask. Many thanks, Rosy -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ardc.net
