As Ralph said, this is not the responsibility of the transporter.
As one of the stations who will be interfacing to Ralph's ISP and putting
it on the air, my plan is to block encrypted traffic to the Internet as
this is not allowed in the US (unless the key is published) or other
system control reasons. Beyond that, it is up to the user to obey the
regulations of ham radio for each country. Just as a repeater owner cannot
control the content of the traffic on a repeater.
In fact, in the U.S. under part 97, I would not even be held responsible
for any traffic that violates the rules, unless it is my own. All that
said, if I see that someone is violating the rules, I would block their
traffic and have a serious talk with them. The portal I would be using is
compliant with US law to trap and record traffic. If I suspect some one of
breaking FCC rules I would kick them off the network.

Hi Ralph,
Just a few of questions?
How are you going to control the content of the traffic to meet the
Amateur Radio Rules and Regulations from the various countries on the
Internet traffic to radio via your Internet Service Provider business?
How are you going to preserve the AX.25a packets
currently required
under ITU rules?
How are you going to work with those who are
required to have a tunnel
system?
There are many countries that do not allow various content form or to
the Internet by radio networks. There must be a control or gateway.
This is not a US issue or community, It is a world group.
Also, could you please add at least your call sign to your posts? I am
not sure which Ralph is speaking.

We don't want a tunnel.
We want them sent through our Tier 1 upstream provider to our ISP,
which I own and provide service to other Hams on.
That is why we contacted you in the first place Brian.
44 Net is not just for tunneling
Use the allocation or lose it, just like 220 (tm)

the mention of using openvpn was mostly intended
as a nudge. While
IPIP seems to be the defacto standard for amprnet tunneling, it's
about the only place I've seen it used much. The tools for
tunnels/vpn links are out there but something such as openvpn is much
more widely supported than ipip....
As a historical note, we used IPIP tunnels because that's all there
was when we got started. This was early; we were using tunnels even
before a protocol ID byte value had been assigned to IPIP. VPNs
hadn't been invented yet.
Indeed, we've discussed using openvpn before and the response was
generally favorable. It would be a great step forward for the
tunneled parts of the network.
