Best Method to Link Over Network?

 

I want to link two separate PCs (or raspberry pi's) running on two separate routed networks similar to a KISS client/server configuration. Both networks have access to each other but only one has a radio resource and internet connection; I would like to send APRS data from one network without resources to the network that does.? Is there a method for achieving this?? The ICHANNEL feature looks like it would be able to do this but direwolf does not act as a KISS client.? I have a work around that uses another program to receive data via KISS and pass it to the internet via APRS-IS.? I would like to use direwolf, if possible, to keep the installations lightweight.

Is it worth doing at the basic private network level? ie make the non internet connected network route through the connected one? Lots of options here from straight routing and gateways to masquerade. Might be some security concerns of course. iptables as a firewall and only route the APRS packets can also be done.

Apart from routing are there any other uses for a direwolf instance on the non radio hardware network?

AGW will do this very well.? On the Raspberry Pi with the radio (rpi#1), run Direwolf with AGW enabled.? Then on the other Raspberry Pi (rpi#2), setup your APRS application to use AGW and put in the IP address of Rpi#1 and it should just work.? If your APRS application doesn't support APRS, try doing something similar but with TCP-KISS instead.
