All,
I'll drop my line of discussion about the AMMPRNet rules requiring BGP announced
subnets to provide connectivity; this isn't a mater of law, hence the entire
community's here putting our heads together on how to accommodate Bart's request
without breaking the consistency of the rest of AMPRNet, or some stations simply not
having connectivity to him.
Per Bart's recommendation, I evaluated simply removing or somehow editing Line 47 or
48 in my startampr
http://44.60.44.13/startampr_v1.1 script, it will not work without
complex configuration beyond a plug and play script (and I had to reference notes when
developing to understand why) . If I add a line for his subnet, the issue is solved:
+ ip rule add to 44.24.221.1/32 table main priority 43
***I added the following line, but rip44 deletes it when it receives the first
announcement***
+ ip route add 44.24.240.0/20 via 44.24.221.1 dev tunl0 onlink table 44
I've found many other issues with this configuration, but I won't list them as it
will still result in a working connection to Bart. Lastly, the issues are not solved that
even if he's permitted to add the route, the issue is not fixed with other 44GWs
Feel free to test:

*** Pinging from my tool to 44.24.221.1 does not work, as it requires masquerade to be
setup, the first hop appears to be dropping the packet (as it should).
