I for one use my 44net IPs for machines that handle amateur radio-related tasks as well as on-air activity (such as my permanent IRLP node, which I give a 44net IP instead of routing ports from my router - they are already routed to my nanonode when it is at home). All of the 44net IPs I have in use are accessible via the public Internet - no proxy or VPN is required.

The 44 address space is worth $300,000,000 (per Amazon buyer).
If it is limited to radio transmitters, we should sell it and rebuild using private (RFC1918) address space on a VPN, and put the money in a trust for amateur radio development and defense.
If it is being used for on air, plus infrastructure (voip linking, web sites, databases, DNS, data links, ...) then keeping all or part of the address space with direct Internet routing makes sense.

Rob, Sorry, I forgot to say which site: separs.ampr.org http://separs.ampr.org/.
WHy does this website NEED to reside within the 44net? Can it nothave TWO entries in DNS, one on 44 and the other on the Public Internet, and have TWO interfaces - one on EACH network. DNS can and does answer with MULTIPLE addresses, ya know. In that way it can be indexed like any ordinary website *AND* you don't allow Spiders to crawl all over what is meant to be an Amateur Radio ONLY address space where licensed transmitters should NEVER be keyed up by unliscensed persons or machines.
We see more and more of this "bluring" of the edges of the networkthat many of us depend upon to NOT allow non-Hams onto. Why use 44Net addresses for non-radio links or services?????
