Thanks a bunch! That helped a ton! Everything is now working as it should.

Here is part of an email I send to new users in our geo. I do recommend you to request your AMPR coordinator to set an DNS entry for your main AMPR IP as well.

- Example IPIP compatibility testing with a Linux computer: Consider you want to see if your ISP does or doesn't block protocol 4 / IPIP traffic.
a. REQUIRED: Update the AMPR portal with the correct Internet IP address that will be terminating your IPIP tunnel.
b. RECOMMENDED: Send me (your AMPR coordinator) a hostname for at least one AMPR IP address you will want to receive traffic. I will enter these names into the reserve DNS interface.
c. Wait roughly 60 minutes until the IPIP mesh gets new routes for your information to propagate through the AMPR mesh network
d. On your intended system that will be the AMPR IPIP endpoint, run the command:
#Assuming eth0 is your uplink port tcpdump -nni eth0 proto 4
e. While tcpdump is running in one window on your Linux machine, open up a web browser using your standard Internet connection to:
http://yo2tm.ampr.org/nettools.php
Enter in the desired AMPR IP host address (not subnet address) you're using to terminate your IPIP connection and click on "IPv4 ping". If your ISP is properly forwarding you IPIP traffic, your AMPR gateway should see something like the following on the tcpdump window: -- 13:12:15.876817 IP 89.122.215.236 > 96.78.144.186: IP 44.182.21.1 > 44.4.10.40: ICMP echo request, id 37699, seq 1, length 64 (ipip-proto-4) 13:12:15.877272 IP 96.78.144.186 > 89.122.215.236: IP 44.4.10.40 > 44.182.21.1: ICMP echo reply, id 37699, seq 1, length 64 (ipip-proto-4) 13:12:16.876362 IP 89.122.215.236 > 96.78.144.186: IP 44.182.21.1 > 44.4.10.40: ICMP echo request, id 37699, seq 2, length 64 (ipip-proto-4) 13:12:16.876788 IP 96.78.144.186 > 89.122.215.236: IP 44.4.10.40 > 44.182.21.1: ICMP echo reply, id 37699, seq 2, length 64 (ipip-proto-4) 13:12:17.876889 IP 89.122.215.236 > 96.78.144.186: IP 44.182.21.1 > 44.4.10.40: ICMP echo request, id 37699, seq 3, length 64 (ipip-proto-4) -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ yo2tm's public your public yo2tm's your Internet addr Internet addr AMPR addr AMPR addr
If you don't see traffic like that, you either probably didn't set your Internet gateway IP address on the AMPR portal correctly. Alternatively, your ISP is blocking IPIP traffic which isn't all that uncommon. There are ways around this with VPNs and what not so see the AMPR Wiki (details below).

Hey y'all. I'm having difficulty setting up my gateway using IPIP. I followed all instructions to set up a gateway, but the Linux hardware I'm using as a gateway is stuck on "Waiting for RIPv2 broadcasts" for a very long time and is not progressing. I'm not sure if it's something I did wrong or if I'm forgetting something or if it's some other issue that's beyond my control. Can someone please shed some light on what might cause it to hang and not progress any further? _______________________________________________ 44net mailing list --44net@mailman.ampr.org To unsubscribe send an email to44net-leave@mailman.ampr.org
