Real IPv4
for real hams.
Public IPv4 addresses for your projects.
Free to use for licensed radio amateurs.
44Net is a block of IP addresses reserved for licensed amateur radio operators. Since its allocation in the early days of the Internet, it has served a unique role at the intersection of amateur radio and digital communications.
Today, learners, experimenters, and doers use 44Net much the way hams have always used the airwaves: as a platform for discovery, a space to connect and create, and a link to communities around the world.
How it works:
Connect, explore, build
Get started: - Sign up with your callsign, takes minutes - Get your callsign and location verified - Request an IP address or subnet - Connect and explore!
How to Get Connected IPIP Mesh - Mesh overlay network
BGP - Announce a /24 subnet from your ISP or cloud provider - Bring your own ASN
VPN (limited beta!) - Wireguard tunnel to a 44Net point of presence over almost any network - No BGP or ASN needed - Home, mobile, or portable stations
Features
No NAT, just Net - 44Net IP addresses are real, globally-routable, public IPv4 addresses. No NAT, no port forwarding, no tricks.
By hams, for hams - When you access a resource on a 44Net IP, you know it's provided by a fellow ham in the spirit of amateur radio.
BYO Access - Use your own ISP, cloud provider, or home network. Build your network over copper, fiber, or RF. 44Net goes where you go.
What is 44Net? 44Net is a community-driven IPv4 network for amateur radio operators. It provides a platform for hams to connect, share resources, and experiment with networking technologies.
At the core is a block of IPv4 addresses free for licensed hams to use, available as individual IP addresses or subnets up to /24. Connect to the IPIP Mesg overlay network, or use BGP to announce your own /24 subnet from your ISP or cloud provider. Coming soon, a limited beta of a Wireguard VPN tunnel to a 44Net point of presence over almost any network, no BGP or ASN needed.
Why use it? Who is it for?
44Net provides a way for hams to get IPv4 address space and use it for the kinds of things hams are known for: experimentation, innovation, community, and more. Hams learn, experiment, and build on the airwaves — 44Net lets hams do the same with IP networking.
Why 44Net?
44Net is more than just IP addresses. It's also a community of hams who are passionate about networking and technology. By joining 44Net, you become part of a network of like-minded individuals who are eager to share knowledge, resources, and experiences.
