Subject: [HamGateNY] K2CAN update
Message-ID: <CAL610e6bY9W9jn3_ky09rRzqp0FNRK01_gr+uqDp7sifAQcoAg@mail.gmail.com>

My wife and I recently moved back to CNY from Colorado. We are living in SW
Oswego. I was very involved in the packet network back in the 90?s and into
the early 2000?s. I still have some notes around (somewhere) and some
memory of how the network evolved. If I can be of any help feel free to
pick my brain.
All the best to everyone in 2022.

Mark,

                Welcome back to NY! Great to see your post. I would love to
catch you up on the packet happenings in your absence and also maybe get
some assistance from you at your new location. I sent a personal email to
you using the email listed on QRZ. Feel free to ping me off list and maybe
we can have a phone call.

 

Thank you,

Brian N2KGC

It is with great sadness that I pass along the news that Brian Rogers N1URO
is now a silent key. He passed on Tuesday evening January 4th, 2022.

 

 

 

Brian was the author of the URONode packet radio software and past president
of the Eastnet Amateur Radio Network (https://www.eastnetpacket.org/). He
was an avid packet user and contributor to various software packages, not
just his own. He was also the AmprNet coordinator for the states of MA, NH,
VT, PA, MD, DE, CT, RI and ME. 

 

Professionally his was an IT consultant and ran his company Network
Continuum Connecticut (https://www.nc-ct.net/).  

 

He was a mentor to many who wanted to operate packet nodes or set up an
apmr.org station. He had a broad knowledge of many other node operating
systems, keeping nodes of all types running at his QTH. He was a wealth of
detailed knowledge and will be missed immensely. 

 

 

Funeral arrangements are;

 

Friday Jan 14th

5 to 7 pm with a small service at 7 pm

from 2012 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMI9YSM0mzY

The best place to get help with various configurations to get 44Net to
work with your equipment is to subscribe to the 44Net mailing list and
ask there. There is a deep pool of people with various experiences to
help. The Wiki has many articles https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Main_Page

Thanks for the YT links.

Something I may tackle in a future redo of my setup.

Subject: [HamGateNY] Why DNS Records After Creating Public Gateway
Message-ID: <f9fc3369-0ae7-2698-2901-384797709816@n2nov.net>

After receiving your allocation, setting up your public gateway address
and linking your subnet to it, some are wondering why the DNS records
for them need to be set up in the database by the state coordinator.

 > What is the DNS on your side for?
 > What is the typical DNS entry usually used?

A typical DNS will always have your callsign followed by ampr.org.
Anything before your callsign typically describes what is is used for.

Some examples could be:
n2nov.ampr.org
gw.n2nov.ampr.org
220.n2nov.ampr.org
webcam.n2nov.ampr.org

While all allocation holders are part of a "mesh" by virtue that their
subnet is linked to a public gateway, connections between us do not hit
UCSD at all. Any use of the "mesh" IPIP encap table locally is via the
AMPR-RIPD program to set up iptables as opposed to manually updating
them. The encap table is broadcast every five minutes to anyone in the
public gateway table with at least one DNS record. I personally use the
DOTUN.SH script to set up the variables for setting up a tunnel on my
Linux box, call the AMPR-RIPD program to accept the encap broadcast and
set up the iptables.

When someone is coming from outside of 44Net, they will enter through
UCSD and the DNS table along with the gateways list will be used to send
them to their destination. Your local security structure will expose
certain ports or require passwords. My JNOS bbs has certain ports open
for things like telnet, chat, ftp, POP3 and all others are set to deny
entry. I then have each user's callsign in a table with their password.
Anyone not in the table is allowed only the minimum permissions of
reading messages or sending a message to the sysop, but no message
creation or node hopping.

Message-ID: <5b3473f8-54e4-b356-44a1-3497320cd689@n2nov.net>

A common thread that I am seeing is that people don't know about setting
up their Public Gateway entry and/or submitting DNS record entries for
the DNS servers around the world. Both of these things are needed to route
packets to and from your devices on your 44Net allocation. Here is a
quick two page PDF tutorial that shows you how to do these things. The
gateway entry is done by you in your AMPR Portal account and the DNS
records are emailed to me for submission to the DNS database.
