Hi Rob,
I will try to find the issues, but probably I will need more info on the
way.
So here we go with the inline comments, and see how we work further from
here.

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.
Are you sure about this setup?
Your public IP is forwarded via the DMZ, but usually there is a DMZ host
defined in your ISPs router, which is part of your internal network. You
need to set that specific address in the ampr-ripd line in ampr.sh as a
option.
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???).
I don't know, probably not, unless you need to access the router from 44net.
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.
Here you should use again, your WAN local address.
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 would sugest adding -a 44.0.0.1/8,44.46.1.56/29 to your command line.
Lately, the gateway also publishes 44.0.0.1/8, which is interfering with
the routing, acting as a catch-all for 44net, preventing access to your
local ampr LAN.
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???
That status will show up even if you send your "presence" via regular
internet, so it can't be used as an indicator of the system working
properly.
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?).
Try to run 'ip route list table 44' for the ampr routes. They are not in
your main routing table and do not show up in the web interface. But the
fact that the wizard shows them tells us they are actually there.
- 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
