Firstly, I must explain that I don't know much about TCP/IP, so most of
the jargon I've seen on here recently is just mumbo-jumbo to me.
I am searching for a definitive, plain-english answer to two questions
that have bothered me for a long time:
a) Should 44-net be accessible to non-44 source addresses?
<g4apl>I block all
Non 44Net IPencacp Source addresses to 44Net
Destinations coming down the IPencap Tunnels.
Most are port scans and hack attempts being blocked/dropped and logged.
b) Should non-44-net destinations be accessible from 44-net source
addresses?
<g4apl> Amateur Radio access direct via access controls at the
server
All outbound to non 44NET are blocked/dropped Internet facing
and my backend 'local' peered subnets down stream of my systems.
If the answer to either of the above is "yes", then there is the
potential for traffic which violates radio licensing laws to be carried
by radio. And after all, I thought RADIO was what 44-net was supposed
to be about?
Personally I block all traffic with a non-44/8 source or destination,
but I was never sure if that is the "correct" policy?.
