As per the 44.88.0.9:
As per my tests since this morning (local time) for the first time
I can ping and connect the http and ftp facilities at 44.88.0.9 and
downloaded some files... never happened since years to now!!!
Hope that Brian will share his actual GW setup, TNX.
As per the 44.137.0.1 and subnets:
Report is that the 44.137.0.1 GW is promptly pingable, but regarding
their subnet only the following are *correctly* pingable, namely:
44.137.24.5
44.137.40.1
44.137.40.10
44.137.40.2
44.137.40.20
all the other not.
As per the 44.60.44.10:
Remain not pingable
The
remain unreachable
It is strongly necessary to reach the *standard* GW setup by
publishing that giving positive results.

Now it suddenly starts to work!
--- 44.88.0.9 ping statistics ---
1117 packets transmitted, 106 received, 90% packet loss, time 1122044ms

I wouldn't consider
90% packet loss working.
As I mentioned: it suddenly starts working. I had started that ping
to allow you to trace what comes in and
what goes out. At my end I see encapsulated IPIP packets going out
to your gateway, but no replies.
After sending 1011 packets without reply, suddenly replies started
coming back.
I interrupted the ping after 106 replies.
At that time, a mail from you came in stating that you could ping me.
Apparently once you did that, the tunnel started to work from my side
as well.
Is there some stateful firewall e.g. in a router
that you have set
to "forward a protocol" or "dmz"?
Not at all.
At any rate, it looks like there is some stateful firewall inbetween
that blocks IPIP packets from me to you until you
"open" it by sending packets from you to me.
I tried an hour or so later and again there was no reply. When I
ping now, no reply. However, from the other gateway
I can still ping you (and deliver these mails).
Do you have some script that causes regular traffic, e.g. pinging or
otherwise, to my personal gateway?
(external address 89.18.172.156, serving 44.137.40.1 and 44.137.40.2,
the one you pinged first yesterday)
When trying from our 44.137.0.0/16 gateway that has external address
213.222.29.194 I get no replies.
But when I ping your external IP from there, no problem.
Both these systems are in (different) ISP datacenters with their
ethernet interface directly connected to a switch
on a subnet routed by an ISP-grade router. No consumer NAT routers
involved at all.
Recently, I assisted a local ham who had set up a gateway and had a
similar problem. When he pinged outward from
his system he could reach many others, but when he asked others to
access his system from the outside it did not
work, or sometimes it worked and sometimes not.
It turned out he was using some cable modem/router where he had set up
1 system to receive the IPIP traffic, I think
by declaring it a "dmz host", and it did not receive IPIP traffic
until he sent outward IPIP traffic to the tunnel he wanted
to receive traffic from.
He switched from IPIP tunnel mesh to a VPN to our gateway because he
could not find any user configurable item in
his router that would remove this unwanted stateful firewall item.
It may well be that some people on this list suffer the same problem,
maybe even without knowing.
(because when they connect outward from their own system there never
is a problem)
