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?.
