[HamGatePA] Am I on Amprnet?

[Edward Wilson]

I am using a vostro 1510 running Lubuntu. It is given DMZ from my router. I
think I have the tunnel setup correctly now.
Ampr-ripd can see the interface ampr0 and says the local ip for that tunnel
is 44.56.26.1. I have primed it with encap.txt from the portal. In it's
output it says "Using gateway 192.168.1.1 for direct 44net endpoints via
interface wlp6s0" even if I force the ampr0. Do I need to add a gateway IP
to the tunnel connection? Is it 169.228.34.84? Is it 127.0.0.1? I
understand that the gateway should be routed at the other end of the IP
tunnel, right?

I get that I am absolutely clueless, but I'm gonna understand this one way
or another. I really appreciate you guys trying to help me out.
