Lynwood helped me when I came online. I learned a lot from Lynwood, he helped me sort my
routing table out. I have not been doing a lot lately with my little piece of the AMPRnet
but it seems to work. My script isn’t exactly letter perfect but I incorporated the ipset
ipipfilter that he sent me. I’ve also used the iptables recent module to drop brute force
attempts on SSH against my 44net gateway address.
My gateway is currently a raspberry pi with a usb interface as the external interface
running in a DMZ behind a pfSense router. It works well because the only traffic that hits
my AMPR gateway is the ipip tunneled traffic thus simplifying my routing table.

Rob,
I never noted I have a problem. The ipset script is the one I currently use. As I recall,
the iptables was verbatim from another operator - and it worked as well. I can't
recall who gave me that script. The ipset script is the one I edited, per your message in
2018. I have made no updates to the iptables script; and left lots of old notes and
comments intact - hence some of the comments may disagree.
I edited it to use ipset approximately 2 years ago, hence the remaining while statement.
I'm sure anyone utilizing the ipset script would like it be as straightforward as
possible - are you suggesting (pseudo-code confuses me):
---
#!/bin/sh
# load encap.txt into ipipfilter list
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
AMPRGW="<AMPRGW>"
cd /var/lib/ampr-ripd || exit 1
ipset -N ipipfilter hash:ip 2>/dev/null
ipset flush ipipfilter
ipset -A ipipfilter $AMPRGW
grep addprivate encap.txt | sed -e 's/.*encap //' | sort -u | while read ip
do
ipset -A ipipfilter $ip
done
-----
I tested it and it seems to work. Also believe diffutils doesn't need to be
installed, either. I'll update the OpenWrt Wiki.
I only noted it in this particular best practices/tools thread due to messages in
SEP2018: https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/private/44net/2018-September/009294.html
I like to "lock down" my router as much as possible. I do understand we've
chatted in the past that my methods may be too paranoid; but I'd prefer to have a
extra step to secure the IPENCAP interface.
