Repeater linking on the cheap

[USX]

Hello,
I am a ham looking to move a system of 2m repeaters in my state that are currently using a 30 year old SIP server for linking, to a new "linking system".
I talked with the people in charge and they don't like ASL because it "opens you up to their network" which is apparently bad security. The requirements are: Cheap, "Private", and it has to be Network linked. The ability to add or remove repeaters from the link remotely would also be very helpful.

TL;DR: How to internet link a system of repeaters, while keeping it "private", and still having the ability to take certain repeaters out of the link remotely.

73 and thank you

Have you looked at IRLP or Echolink?

you can run AllStar as a private system, no need to register on the network

"opens you up to their network" which is apparently bad security

it doesnt work that way

Tried and failed to tell them that...

Yes, actually, confused as to what controllers are comparable with either of those.

Dealing with people like that is a waste of time unless they have lots of money.
