When I was working on my gateway I noticed that stations use a 44-address as their
external address.
For some time there has been the gateway to 44.24.240/20 with gateway 44.24.221.1
This morning I noticed gateways with address 44.151.94.28 and 44.140.0.1 but they have
been removed
in the meantime.
I want to notice that my gateway cannot route traffic to gateways like that, due to the
policy routing used
to separate internet traffic and tunnel traffic. And I think that many other gateways
have a similar setup
and have the same problem.
Is there any official policy on the external gateway address? Is it allowed to be in
net-44, and if not, wouldn't
it be better to check this in the portal and reject submissions like this with a suitable
error message?
I suspect part of those entries are just the result of misunderstanding by a newcomer, and
we help them
getting things working by hinting at this incorrect configuration.
