Is there anything fun that I could do with #44net? I know about setting up a VPN, but I'm struggling to think of a good practical application.

I put together a self-hosted web server on a #44net address, using nginx and certbot for HTTPS service, a tiny but mighty Pi 1 as the physical host, and ufw as a host firewall. It lives at home, no change to my home firewall.

The real challenge I had was realizing the attack surface of such a #44net tunnel. Getting a good firewall configuration set up first and not as an afterthought is critical because the Internet is a difficult place.

@ARDC needs more docs / tutorials on same.

@w8emv @N9DRB we’ve got docs in progress, so definitely keep an eye out on wiki.ampr.org. In the interim, I encourage folks (if you haven’t already) to join ardc.groups.io: we have 44Net related subgroups where you can start a discussion and get some recommendations on 44Net use cases, and firewall configurations, among other things!

Do you have a plan for reverse DNS for 44net Connect tunnels? It would be handy to have that work, or if there are specifics of how to handle any sort of DNS to have that spelled out (including "we don't do that", that's an OK answer).

I know you need some guardrails to make it work (e.g. no A records with PTR records pointing to google.com)

@w8emv it's been discussed, but currently, we don't have an automated way to handle rDNS for 44Net Connect. The DNS we do have is covered on our wiki. Hope that helps!
