For IRLP Repeaters, we are using OpenVPN to provide a single IP to our member repeaters that need it. It actually is not being used to access anything in amprnet. Rather it is used in the opposite direction by providing access to our member repeaters on a 44.net address from anywhere on the public Internet. We have issued tunnel addresses to nearly 400 repeaters from two of our server sites in Chicago and Sydney.

Hey Amateur Radio team
I know what VPN is. I know what OpenVPN does. What are the actual uses of having a VPN into the AmprNet space.
Ive seen on so many diagrams of setups where there is a VPN into the network.
Thanks all
