I guess there are two camps, those looking to join the network as you
say, but I'd venture to guess this group is more so looking for a
public IP etc.
I have a foot in both camps, and have two allocations to reflect that.
One allocation is BGP routed and provides several services to hams
around the world. The other is on the IPIP mesh. I've moved the IPIP
tunnel offsite to a VPS, where there's fewer issues with getting IPIP to
work, then I use other means to get the block to my site(s). Currently,
I'm using ZeroTier with a lot of success. Eventually, I hope to self
host the ZT network, to give me more flexibility with allowing
connections. ZeroTier has the advantage of acting like a virtual LAN,
so that the VPS uses only one IP for itself, without needing to subnet
or use NAT to distribute the IPs. A VPN using a TAP interface would
work, but may be limited to Linux only hosts, requiring more bridges
than my setup (where bridges are optional).
Then the origional camp/ spirit (at least in my opinion) is to
learn.... heck maybe even create their own custom network protocol.
The sandbox effect lets one test with others without much concern of
incomming traffic from the general internet.
Yep. Experimentation with both
networking, as well as hosting services
on a dedicated virtual network for hams. Eventually, I want to add RF
endpoints (both high and low speed) to my IPIP subnet.
