Direwolf is a piece of software used to decode and encode APRS packets, commonly called a terminal node controller (TNC). A computer running Direwolf can be paired with a transceiver to transmit, receive, and digipeat APRS packets on the air. It can be used on its own or with a KISS client. This is a tutorial on setting up Direwolf for remote access via a 44Net Connect tunnel.
Security and Limitations
Neither Direwolf or the KISS protocol directly support any kind of authentication. Securing Direwolf against unauthorized access is done via IP whitelisting in this guide, so providing access to people without access to a static IP (through 44Net or otherwise) is out of scope.
