Hi,
I have been running a gateway since 1991 either in Texas or in France.
I have a serious problem with the new security policy which does not allow
to add a subnet if it is not allocated to you in the portal database.
First it is preventing a single gateway to serve multiple hamradios and
their subnets. This is completely against the spirit of hamradio.
It is also preventing to serve IP addresses which are not registered in the
portal.ampr.org. (i.e. HAMNET Europe (44.168.x.x for France) are defined in
hamnetdb.net portal. Some 44.76.x.x addresses are not in the portal too but
only in the host file)
In the Paris area we are developing a HAMNET network using the French
allocation 44.168.x.y. This network is using wifi equipments in 2.3 and
5.6GHz hamradio band. There is a single gateway (mine) and a lot of
sites/subnet/host and backbones which are not mine of course. I have
currently several subnets to add to my gateway but unfortunately I cannot.
This is holding the deployment of several sites and applications like DMR
repeaters connections thru HAMNET and other.
I hope that a solution will be find very quickly.
