[44net] Co-located point of presence for 44net

Greetings. I'm somewhat new to the list and would like to join the network. I am not able to get a static address from my ISP, well I could, but I'd have to get a business account and my speeds would be a lot slower than they are now. I'm considering getting a VPS or a colocated raspberry pi to act as a vpn server and my point of presence to connect to my network via a tunnel. A rough ASCII diagram follows: (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^) ( IPIP/Tun0/VPN Svr <<--- ) ( Ieth0 RasPi in DATA CENTER) (vvIvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv) I (^^I^^^^^^^^^^) (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^) ( Internet )====(>LinuxRouter/VPN/Tun0/eth2-->>44.98.63.0/29) (vvIvvvvvvvvvv) (vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv) I (^^I^^^^^^^^) (IPIP @ SDSU) ( 44/8 ) (vvvvvvvvvvv) My intent is to initilly have connectivity for a small LAN and then build it out over AX25 for my local area. I've run linux as my router/firewall (iptables and ipset) since 2012, but have not done much with "ip route" or "route", tunneling or anything with bridging but I did play a little with GRE and OpenSwan a couple of years ago. My thinking is building tun0/eth0 bridge and feeding that through the VPN to the distant RasPi which would vbidge the other end of the connection to the IPIP tunnel. So my question is this: Is what I want to do feasable as a way to get a static address and act as an AMPR gateway? Any suggestions, hints or approaches to prod me in the right direction to get me going would be appreciated. -- ​tom​ 73 de N2XU/Tom Cardinal/MSgt USAF (Ret)/BSCS/Security+/IPv6 Certified
