You're absolutely correct but there are guys using OpenVPN servers who
are using push to force that issue. Not good.

One needs not to be licensed to be a glorified ISP.

So since the hardware device would *still* require ipencap to speak to
the rest of 44/8 and the global internet, why would you wish to
introduce not one but 2 potential points of failure?

Case in point, ALL if Ireland now is forced to use an OpenVPN system.
It is now quite isolated and unreachable. There was a perfectly working
system with an HF gateway using ipencap to ARDC which is now DOA. Once
that additional point of failure was brought in, the "wire" failed just
as it would in an emergency.

Also when you think about it, since vpns use a form of ipencap, and the
method used by ARDC is designed **specifically for amateur usage** and
it does indeed work, why reinvent the wheel?
