I know what VPN is. I know what OpenVPN does. What are the actual uses of having a VPN into the AmprNet space.

Ive seen on so many diagrams of setups where there is a VPN into the network.

Ham radio VoIP or RoIP application users, such as IRLP.net https://status.irlp.net/, AllstarLink.org https://www.allstarlink.org/nodelist/, Hamvoip.org, Echolink.org https://www.echolink.org/proxylist.jsp, remote bases or other applications, are using 44Net addresses with BGP VPN or proxy services. This works around some of the NAT issues with public Internet providers.
