I certainly don't blame you for your frustrations with abusing MikroTiks as
a serial console. The additional computer (Pi or otherwise) is, imo, a
must. Unless you are just using the MIkroTik as an ssh jump box into the
OOB network, which isn't so bad.

We use MikroTik for this. All manner of interfaces including LTE and 5G are
available. I hear you can connect USB serial to them directly, but we also
drop a surplus Dell OptiPlex at each location and attach the serial ports
to that device. Total cost is <200 USD per site since we already have the

Things seem to be returning now, aside from the status page, which

Well that's certainly interesting.

A /31 is configured in RouterOS as a point-to-point interface. You put
your IP in the "address" field and their IP in the "network" field.
That's how I've been doing it since I started using RouterOS in

v6 support is good, actually! I am using it to good effect.
The classful part is very surprising. This site doesn't use a lot of v4 so
I hadn't given that much thought.

Why not prepend toward the commercial ISP? Seems that should make the
path longer and less desirable.

I would imagine the "long as-path" one would handle excessive prepends
too, right?
50 prepends is silly but doesn't really hurt my feelings. But >100 is absurd.

Sure, that's why I said that in my third paragraph.
But once we know that they do, in fact, filter messages, we can
understand why it might *seem* like they filter based on political
content.
For example, if a left-leaning news outlet uses bit.ly URLs, and a
right-leaning one uses goo.gl URLs,
I wouldn't call it a serious claim. By their own admission T-Mobile
filters messages based on content.
https://community.t-mobile.com/accounts-services-4/can-t-send-receive-texts-that-contain-goo-gl-7776
Now, there is no indication I'm aware of, that it is political in
nature. But they do,
Two that immediately come to mind are:
- If you don't need anything dynamic, you can run VXLAN on any Linux box.
So just a random server would work.

- RouterOS v7 added VXLAN, so now you can do that in a MikroTik box, or in
a Cloud-Hosted
We have a distinct abuse address (not just abuse@) and that is where
the messages were sent.
We didn't receive the bomb threat ones. We only received the (somewhat
more amusing) messages entitled "Your network has been PWNED" and
"Fuck you".
The situation loses its humor entirely with the

At least in Ciscoland, loose URPF checks will pass if you have a

I see your point, but I am not sure running the authoritative name
servers for a site meets the popular definition of "hosting" them.
Epik is currently denying that they are going to host Parler in a
traditional sense, though they are the registrar for parler.com. since
a couple of days ago.

I probably would not choose the Private APN. I get the appeal, but I
would probably use router ACLs to restrict traffic only to other
endpoints in the VPN mesh. Exploits/methods that could get around this
