Your "subdomain" under .<a href="http://ampr.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ampr.org</a> is your callsign.<br>

Remember to put your email in the notes. When I see the request, I will be<br>
in contact with you ASAP and we can get things going. If you are going to<br>
be acting as your own gateway, then you will need to enter that information<br>
on the portal under "Networks" and then "My gateways". If your local state<br>
HamGate will act as your VPN gateway, then I will handle it from my end<br>
after you go into your subnet allocation, create and then send me the<br>
Unique ID field that is generated.<br>
<br>
Either way, wWe will still need to talk about your DNS entries before<br>
you set them up so that proper routing can occur, VPN or not.<br>

To claim your DNS callsign/subdomain:<br>
<a href="https://portal.ampr.org/subdomains" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://portal.ampr.org/subdomains</a><br>
Click the "Request a subdomain" button.<br>
On the next page select "<a href="http://ampr.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ampr.org</a>" as the main domain and enter your <br>
callsign as the subdomain you wish to create. When you click the "Create <br>
request" button, this will create a ticket requesting creation of the <br>
subdomain. Once approved, your subdomain will be created and <br>
(importantly) any existing DNS records that may already under the <br>
subdomain will be automatically pulled in.<br>
<br>
To create your new DNS Records:<br>
Under <a href="https://portal.ampr.org/subdomains" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://portal.ampr.org/subdomains</a>, locate your callsign subdomain <br>
and click on the "Actions" icon. Then click the "Add a resource record" <br>
icon for each DNS record item needed. DNS records that you can create are:<br>
A<br>
AAAA (for IPv6 records in the future)<br>
CNAME<br>
DNSKEY<br>
DS<br>
LOC<br>
MX<br>
NS<br>
PTR<br>
RP<br>
SRV<br>
TXT<br>
<br>
As always, feel free to call me any evening at 917-991-0356 (except <br>
weekly nets Mondays 8-9PM).<br>
