Hello,
Just got started on AMPR 44Net. Currently I have a /28 block and using Raspberry Pi 4 as my IPIP gateway at home OTH. My set up is Verizon FiOS > Verizon Router (for all none Ham stuffs) > DMZ from Verizon router to 192.xx.xx.144 (my Raspberry Pi gateway).
Raspberry eth0 is 44.xx.xx.1 as gateway and eth1 is 44.xx.xx.14 as tunl0 for my Ham stuffs. My eth1 is connected to a 16 ports Ethernet switch to supply the connections to all my Ham stuffs.
So far everything is working well. I was able to request an IP in the range of 44.xx.xx.2 – 44.xx.xx.13 no problem. Later a friend will help me setting up a Mikrotik router, I just had to order one first. For right now Raspberry pi is what I will be using.
I have some questions that I was not sure or could not really find the answer to specific questions.
Can I move my gateway over to VPS somewhere? Or the VPS setup is for the larger block not for individual home use.
If I could do this using VPS then I could rent one up, no problem. I would also need some sort of the instruction or guidance on how to set this up using VPS service instead of a Raspberry Pi at home QTH.
The instruction I found is more like the set up for /24 BPG type of thing. I do not have a use for that many IP addresses.
Another question is I have 2 blocks of addresses, obviously they were on a different subnet. Could I use one Raspberry Pi gateway, one gateway address? If that is possible, how do I add the 2nd block of IP range to my existing Raspberry Pi gateway setup or later on Mikrotik box?

You could, but you would still need to get it back to your 'ham stuff' which would likely mean creating a VPN between the VPS and something at home. A Wireguard server installed on your VPS and Wireguard clients on your 'ham stuff' or a router to which your 'ham stuff' is attached should work.
If I could do this using VPS then I could rent one up, no problem. I would also need some sort of the instruction or guidance on how to set this up using VPS service instead of a Raspberry Pi at home QTH.
A VPS is going to have an OS installed, if its Ubuntu for example, there are good instructions on the Wiki (https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Main_Page) -- then there is the getting it attached to your 'ham stuff' needs set up, like I mentioned above.
The instruction I found is more like the set up for /24 BPG type of thing. I do not have a use for that many IP addresses.
Have you reviewed the Wiki? For an IPIP tunnel setup, ignore the BGP
instructions.
Another question is I have 2 blocks of addresses, obviously they were on a different subnet. Could I use one Raspberry Pi gateway, one gateway address? If that is possible, how do I add the 2nd block of IP range to my existing Raspberry Pi gateway setup or later on Mikrotik box?
Why 2 blocks? How that would be all setup depends on a lot of variables in between. Set one up first and then come back.
John, I will do that over the weekend. I have VPS already but have not install anything yet other than the OS. I requested 2 blocks because I go back and forth between US and Thailand. While in Thailand I have to use my Thai callsign, can not use US callsign there. At the end of the day I think I still have to reapply it again with my Thai callsign rather than US and return the 2nd block back to the pool.
I think I will have to digest this VPS and VPN business slowly, too much to take in at once. But I will progress :D
