I don't suggest that you would use only our VPN
server, you could
connect it in addition to some other to have additional redundancy
and maybe a more efficient path to western europe.
Why would I want or need to go across the Atlantic when it's not
necessary since IPIP is working fine for me. Also if I want to go to
WB2ONA in Nj it's point to point for me using the IPIP mesh. I don't
have to hit UCSD or the overhead/additional point of failure of a VPN
hub. As I said before, if it's not broke don't fix it seems to no longer
apply... and again what may work for one may not work for another. I
don't know why this is so very difficult to comprehend.
You (or ARDC, using their money) should eastablish one
or more VPN
servers on the eastcoast and/or Canada, then you connect there and
those servers connect back to UCSD or maybe even advertise some of
the locally assigned subnets on internet BGP.
I don't see where this would be a reasonable allocation of funds by
ARDC. If there were some new form of technology involved perhaps but in
this case it's still old methods using old tools with a lot of fingertip
spews based on personal greeds and desires without documentation to back
it up. VPN is not new, BPG is not new, IPIP is not new, IPv4 is not new.
If ARDC were to allocate funding I would rather see it go into research
of new techologies. We as hams are not leaders anymore, we're lemmings.
Then it will improve your connectivity to internet,
and connectivity
to other AMPRnet systems is the same or similar.
How will that improve my connectivity to the internet? I can and do get
around blocks by my ISP just fine - once I know what they are and I take
full advantage of the 200Mbs link I have for a residential circuit.
Furthermore, you can buy a 4G router and use that as a
backup for when
your ISP link or -router dies, and you can switchover all your routing
to that path automatically within seconds. Even when its address is
dynamic and probably even when they have such idiotic policies as your
ISP appears to have (because the VPN will just re-establish when it fails).
Why are you stuck on "my way or the highway" here? The ISP practices of
my ISP is becoming common fold for ISPs in the USA. It's been tested in
the northeast and is slowly getting deployed by major ISPs south and
westward. Europe has a lot more liberal practices on the internet than
we do. I'm quite familiar with the fact that VPN will re-establish
itself when presented with another path/connection. Infact I actually
have a VPN router with 4G built in. It's a backup for my client's credit
card processor circuit. Unfortunately it's not mine to use for personal
usage.
I could get another circuit with 4G backup and shell out almost
$2,000/yr additional as a business circuit but why? For people on this
list to try and tell me what to do with my circuit that I spend my money
on? I think not thank you. That's when a ham community turns into a ham
dictatorship.
