Hello, community:

Back in 2014 InternetNZ (NZRS at that time) set up and made publicly available an RPKI Validator (validator.rpki.net.nz). It allows network engineers to test ROA validation in their routers without the hassle of setting up and maintaining their own.

During the last five years, very little use has been given to the validator, with one registered user during that time. Currently, we are using a piece of old software that���s no longer maintained. With that in mind, we���d like to announce we���ll be shutting down validator.rpki.net.nz on 15 July 2019. We might rebuild the service if there is a need from the community using modern software, so please let us know if you would like it back.

In the meantime, we appreciate the involvement of the NZNOG community with the validator, including a couple of presentations making reference to the service in the last years.

Kind Regards,
--
