AllStarLink
AllStarLink is an open source[1] internet repeater linking system that uses the Asterisk PBX software internally, and provides a web interface for management. It can be used both for connecting repeaters to the internet and for creating reflectors that internet-linked repeaters can connect to. An AllStarLink installation consists of multiple pieces of software: The Asterisk PBX, the app_rpt application made by AllStarLink, and the Allmon3 web interface.
Step 1: Sign up for AllStarLink
Follow AllStarLink's [instructions for the sign up process](https://allstarlink.github.io/basics/portal/). They'll guide you through signing up for an account, registering a server, and registering a node. This will allocate a node number to you, or a set of node numbers if you choose to immediately extend your node number as suggested.
During registration, United States amateur radio operators will need an official copy of their license, obtained by logging in to the FCC website with their FRN. The publicly available reference copy is not sufficient. After signing up, wait for your account to be verified, which should take at most 24 hours.
Take note of the IAX port you select when creating your server. This can be changed later, but the portal setting must line up with your firewall settings later. The default is 4569.

Step 3: Create a node

Step 6: Enable 44Net Connect tunnel
