I want to comment on this first point.
Of course assuming 44/8 to be 100% ham radio access is overstated. But if
one uses only IPIP/tunnels for 44 traffic, you can safely assume it to hold
true, because:
- even if it could be a spoofed address, the return path will go via a
tunnel if a tunnel for that subnet exists
- if there is no tunnel for that, reply traffic it will go via ampr-gw via
its internet if and will be dropped, since packets with source 44 from the
internet are filtered because of that 44/8 routing rule some talked about.
So basically the only traffic from a 44 to another 44 subnet can work
bidirectionally only via IPIP mesh or private tunnels.
If there is a ilegitimate traffic there, it can be only by accidental or
intentional misconfiguration at one of the IPIP/tunnel partners.

Subject: [44net] Two questions
1. Around 99% of all webcams on the HAMNET are *only* reachable if you
establish the connection using a *source-44* ip address. Do you think
this restriction is enough if you don't want to expose the webcam to the
internet but want to share with other AMPRNet users?
