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

Good question !!! Where can we find recent VPN documentation in Hamnet?
Any idea ?

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.

Besides enhancing end-to-end privacy for general, end-user/daily worker use (outbound), VPN is also commonly used for extending access to your network behind a firewall to authorized service providers and/or clients for infrastructure management purposes (inbound). Hence the term, "virtual" private network.
In this scenario, if your AMPRNet space, intranet, etc. is the protected area requiring VPN access, you'd have that configured with a firewall, bastion host, etc. to block everything else (inbound) not coming through your VPN route.
Contrast this with public-facing services which do/should not require a VPN to access.
Hope some of that helps,
Matt

Ham radio VoIP or RoIP application users, such as IRLP.net https://status.irlp.net/, AllstarLink.org https://www.allstarlink.org/nodelist/, Hamvoip.org, Echolink.org https://www.echolink.org/proxylist.jsp, remote bases or other applications, are using 44Net addresses with BGP VPN or proxy services. This works around some of the NAT issues with public Internet providers.
