[44net] Just received allocation... next steps?

Hi guys, I just received an allocation for 44.34.96.0/24 to begin experimenting with. I plan on doing mesh networking as well as offering services as time permits. I have two questions regarding connectivity to the network: - I understand most folks are doing IPIP tunneling, has anyone ever done this on a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite or VyOS? Anyone in or near Tennessee that can accomodate a tunnel for me? - BGP... thinking entirely out loud here, but are there any VPS providers anyone is aware of that will accept announcements from 44 net that I could handle with say BIRD or another BGP daemon under linux? This would be my ideal setup and I could tunnel my own connectivity, but not sure this is possible.. looking for ideas here. 73, and glad to be a part of AMPR, I love networking :) Stephen K1LNX
