A reminder to those using icmp echo/reply (ping & traceroute) to measure
network performance.
Due to DOS attacks many ISPs rate limit ICMP echo/reply traffic because it
is usually kicked over to router’s CPU instead of being handled in hardware.
I’ve been bitten by this a couple of times trying to diagnose network
issues.

might be a good time to do so. There is also a group at
https://groups.io/g/net-44-vpn -- I am using Spartan and they have a
$2.50/mon. VPS and will advertise your 44.x.x.x address space /24 or
larger.

Not wanting to pile on here... but I do recommend
for this use case to
stand up a lightweight VPS that will do BGP announcements on your behalf
and then use that as your own IPIP or GRE tunnel back to your onsite
location(s). We have three points of connectivity into a single VPS that
are routing our 44Net space to a multisite system that supports a strong
mix of DMR, D-STAR, YSF, and Allstar/IAX2 as well as logging, telemetry,
etc. Works great and is much more robust than the IPIP mesh. It also
allows
us to do the IPIP/GRE over IPv6 addressing so we
can avoid NATing
connections over standard cable modem connections.
There are a few providers that will do BGP announcements for you with a
cheap VPS, but we have had very good success with FreeRangeCloud.com.
