Hi Nick,
Wow, this is amazing! Thank you very much for this info.
Initially I thought I wanted an *ISP* who routes me the subnet but now
that I think about it, a solution like Vultr seems to be the better
choice because it's ISP independent.
It seems there is not even a charge to announce a net over BGP.
-> Does anyone who uses Vultr already want to provide me with a
referral? (PM)
-> Out of curiosity, are there also people out there who managed to get
their 44 routed via their ISP?
Best,
Nick
I am aware there will be a slim chance for this
to happen but
having a 44net subnet directly routed would be super amazing. I am
aware that "normal" providers likely won't do this except for
business customers (at many $$$/months) and likely the subnet needs
to be large (>=/24?)
We do allow members to announce their own prefix via BGP, some have
their own ASN and do it themselves, others have an existing provider
do it for them. A popular choice is Vultr who will rent you a cheap
VM and you can run Bird/FRR/Quagga/etc on it and announce your prefix
to them via a private ASN, they will then announce it to the DFZ
under their own ASN. You can then either use the address space on the
VM, or tunnel back to your shack for use there.
