Hi all, and thank you for all the work.

For the existing AMPRNet, I echo what Rob PE1CHL and others have stated on this list. Here's my summary though:
- The barrier to entry for the casual user who wants to connect to the Internet with 44Net space is too high and relies on outdated technology. A technology that is NAT-friendly for IPv4 is imperative. Not only can many people not port-forward in the IPIP protocol, they are increasingly finding themselves behind a CGN and thus are a double-NAT'd. There needs to be a comprehensive, geographically diverse (BY NETWORK not by country border) set of connection points that use modern, NAT-friendly technologies such as OpenVPN and Wireguard. Maybe even L2TP. Offer ALL the options, rather than one option. Options should not require non-standard tooling such as the quasi-RIP routing daemon.
+1
- Development of a standard "get on 44Net" appliance built on a Pi. Something that reaches out to the solution developed for #1 and brings in the user's allocation for experimentation. This should be a community-driven project that aims to have an EASY setup-and-forget system that provides automatic networking harness for people who want to experiment. Harness the power of the community who like to tinker with networking to help those who don't want to.
+1, with a variant : a ready-to-use Pi image would be perfect for beginners. But software should be easy to implement in other existing featured Pi distributions, such as Pi-Star (and many others).
