New subject: BGPed Gateway

18 Jan 2017

...
  I received a 44 net allocation and am successfully
advertising it to the internet via my ISP. 
...
  I have been reading on the AMPRNet Wiki about IPIP
tunnelling and Startampr.  Are there best practices or anything else I need to be aware of
before venturing into building the gateway? 
It is advisable to make your system an IPIP tunnel gateway for the same subnet as you
advertise via BGP.
Make sure you use a non-44 public IP for the tunnel.

...
  On a related note, I have been using OpenVPN to
provide publicly routable /32 IP addresses to individual Windows PC.  I don’t see support
for IPIP on Windows, are there any other tunnelling methods worth looking at, for Windows7
specifically, or is OpenVPN my best bet? 

We offer OpenVPN but beware: it allows an easy entry into the AMPRnet that has nothing to
do with
amateur radio anymore.  You just become a VPN provider like there already are so many on
internet.

To do something amateur-radio related with AMPRnet you really should offer radio access
and encourage
the users to use it, and OpenVPN works counter-productive in that regard.
