 ===== RPKI-client =====
-**rpki-client** is just a validator - it does not have the functionality to accept connections from a router. We'll come to that later on (we'll need to use [[rpki#stayrtr|StayRTR]], which is a fork of Cloudflare's now unmaintained [[rpki#gortr|GoRTR]]).

 **rpki-client** has now been packaged and is available as part of the Ubuntu 22.04 distribution. However, the packaged version is old (version 7.6). At the time of writing, the current release of **rpki-client** is version 8.7.

 ===== StayRTR =====
-StayRTR is a hard fork of [[rpki#gortr|GoRTR]] (which is no longer maintained by Cloudflare). For this reason, I **strongly** recommend you use StayRTR rather than GoRTR. If you have an existing GoRTR install, simply replace it with StayRTR.

 StayRTR has now been packaged and is available as part of the Ubuntu 22.04 distribution. However, the packaged version is old (version 0.3.0). At the time of writing, the current release of StayRTR is version 0.5.1(47). I'm not going to upgrade a production system to interim Ubuntu releases just to get a slightly newer (and still out of date) version of StayRTR.

 And that's it. Enjoy your new StayRTR installation.
-===== GoRTR =====
-I've included GoRTR here though it is no longer maintained by Cloudflare as the maintainer has moved on to pastures new. All development work is now being carried out on [[rpki#stayrtr|StayRTR]] which is a hard fork of GoRTR. The last version of GoRTR was released in April 2023, and is version 0.14.8.
-I'll be very clear - **please don't use GoRTR**. I still run it for interest sake. For production, [[rpki#stayrtr|StayRTR]] is very actively maintained, and that's what should be used in conjunction with [[rpki#rpki-client|rpki-client]].
-As with StayRTR, you need a working Go environment. Please consult the [[rpki#installing_go|Installing Go]] section for how to do that.
