I have never understood why so many people can't seem to wrap theirheads around IPIP Encap? It is SOOOOooooo easy to use. The drawback seems to be *cheap junk* consumer gateway routers that have no understanding of protocols other than TCP and UDP. IPIP-Encap is NOT TCP and is a protocol unto itself, and so many cheap routers have no idea how to just pass these packets.
As far as I recall, it not problem in cheap routers but expensive too, as the only platform that supports custom IPIP used for 44NET is linux box, and even that needs to be customized.
If IPIP is widely supported that would be ok solution. But this is custom solution that needs hacking just to make it work.
It takes NO hacking at all except to get around junk routers. Replace your router with a PFsense firewall (FREE) and all these problems go away. Networking is NOT hard, it is only the "band aid" solutions that cheap hardware has forced us into, that makes networking difficult (NAT, DNAT, PnP, etc.).
