We don't want a tunnel.
We want them sent through our Tier 1 upstream provider to our ISP, which I
own and provide service to other Hams on.
That is why we contacted you in the first place Brian.
44 Net is not just for tunneling
Use the allocation or lose it, just like 220 (tm)

the mention of using openvpn was mostly intended as a
nudge. While
IPIP seems to be the defacto standard for amprnet tunneling, it's
about the only place I've seen it used much. The tools for
tunnels/vpn links are out there but something such as openvpn is much
more widely supported than ipip....
As a historical note, we used IPIP tunnels because that's all there was when
we got started. This was early; we were using tunnels even before a
protocol ID byte value had been assigned to IPIP. VPNs hadn't been invented
yet.
Indeed, we've discussed using openvpn before and the response was generally
favorable. It would be a great step forward for the tunneled parts of the
network.
