Hi
My proposal to put the VPN server in specially UCSD was because this is the main router
on our 44 NET it probably know (and get) all the 44 Network (beside the BGP announced
gateways ) and therefore if someone connect there it probably have its network so i
thought technically it is very simple solution to accomplish
of course that other solutions are acceptable keep in mind to make the solution as simple
and strait forward in the users side that users with minimal knowledge will have to deal
with complicated installations compilations setups etc
As for latency i mind less i have a DMR system on my Network and it work for two years
with the latency of the signal travel to UCSD and back without any noticeable problems

How do i manage to get my allocated addresses from someone else VPN ?
what about transferring a whole network block via a VPN server ?
specially to a home which uses a dynamic IP ?
===
This can all be done, but it takes some technical knowledge about
networking.
I was given an allocation - I arranged BGP delegation and I have my VPS's
provider (Loosefoot Computing) advertise the allocation.
I set up an OpenVPN connection between my router (really a Linux computer)
and my VPS. I use source-based routing to route a portion of my subnet to
my router at home, then assign some of those addresses manually to hosts at
home that have ham radio-related traffic. (My router gets one too, in
addition to its other addresses.)
A standard consumer router would probably have trouble doing this, although
some might be able. It is probably possible to have a small Linux computer
do the AMPRnet subnet's routing separately, but I'd have to give some
thought to this configuration.
At home, you wouldn't need a static IP at all - a dynamic one would do. One
end needs a static IP address, and that's my VPS.
My VPS is actually located in Denver, CO, US, but the latency here to
VE5-land is pretty low.
My subnet is specifically intended for VE5s/VA5s, but depending on our rules
for allocations, I may be able to delegate small allocations (/28 typically,
i.e. 16 IP addresses of which 14 are usable) to hams in other areas who have
low latency to Denver. (I might need another delegation if this isn't
allowed.) Currently I have a /23 which gives me 32 /28s to delegate, and 2
of those are in use. (I can delegate smaller subnets, too, if fewer
addresses would be fine for you.)
Super busy the next few weeks, so even if anyone is interested, it won't be
a tomorrow thing. But the possibility is here.
