All,
This is the situation in Australia, taken from this document
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2020C00376
(3A) The licensee must not operate an amateur station to transmit
signals that are encoded for the purpose of obscuring the meaning of the
signals, except for:
(a) signals exchanged between an amateur station and
a space station in an amateur-satellite service for the purpose of
controlling the operation of the space station; and
(b) signals exchanged between an amateur station and
an unattended amateur station for the purpose of controlling the
operation of the unattended amateur station; and
(c) intercommunications when participating in
emergency services operations or training exercises related to emergency
services.
Let the bush lawyers have fun!!

Indeed. I don’t think any national regulation at
all considers any IP address space
as “amateur radio”. Amateur radio is transmitted by radio and of course using ham
spectrum.
I think other national regulations are quite similar. At least in Spain/Europe it is
legal to use
encryption *only* for equipment control purposes. Originally it was intended for
repeater control, nowadays it should be possible to use ssh, for example, to
manage AREDN equipment.

I am not aware of any portion of the Part 97
rules that apply to the wired
internet at large.
Part 97 rules only apply to RF transmissions made from US territory on
amateur radio bands. Full stop.
