The 44Net Portal holds your account, verification records, organizations, address assignments, and ampr.org DNS entries. Its ticket system handles requests that need review.

If you are new, start with account setup and callsign verification.

What you manage in the Portal

Area Purpose Guide
Account and verification Maintain your contact details and verify your callsigns and locations. Verification
Organizations Manage individual and club resources through one user account. Organizations in the Portal
Address space Request a subnet and view assigned networks. Address requests
DNS Claim an ampr.org subdomain, add records, or delegate it to your own name servers. DNS in the Portal
IPIP gateways Register a gateway and associate the networks it serves. Gateway management

The illustrated Portal guide covers the interface in more detail.

From an assignment to a working network

An address assignment records your permission to use a subnet. You also need a connection that carries its traffic. Choose a connection method, then follow its setup guide.

44Net Connect has a separate dashboard for creating tunnels and requesting subnets behind them. It uses your Portal account to sign in. For BGP, you arrange routing with a provider; for IPIP Mesh, you configure a gateway and its routes.

Requests and help

Watch the ticket associated with a request and reply there when a reviewer asks for information. If you cannot sign in, use the Portal's password reset or Contact option. For help configuring your equipment, see Get Help.
