I hope that, rather sooner than later, we can offer a new connectivity option for AMPRnet
that does not require tricks in your router, does not depend on a static address, works
with CGNAT, etc.
The objective is to use a modern standard VPN instead of IPIP (wireguard, openvpn,
l2tp/ipsec or whatever) to connect to a relatively local point of presence that will
handle the further routing towards other users and the internet for you, with good latency
and reliability.
That will end the continuous battling with the IPIP mesh that unfortunately is the reality
of today.
Software would run on a standard router (not the router from your ISP, more like a
MikroTik or UBNT or openwrt device), or e.g. a Raspberry Pi.
We need to lower the bar for making connections. Like you, most people want to put
applications online rather than fighting with protocols that are not easy to deploy
anymore.

Thanks to everyone who replied.
Nobody actually directly answered the question that I posed of having actually used this
router and/or having some experience with it. Thus, I'll take that as a collective
"no".
