Rob,
for the specific situation I'm in we ought chat. I do eventually want to set up my own 44net vpn hub.... but for the moment it would work just fine to have an ip out of finland or elsewhere. now if someone wanted to setup a vpn server host for various yet to be routed subnets that would be even cooler..... but yes, let's chat. a vpn connection to you would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Eric
Eric,
My VPN server is only configured for Dutch IP adresses, as I have configured it in such a way that it can use existing allocated net-44 addresses, for which I am the coordinator for 44.137.0.0/16, and I am setting up a server for this network to be announced on BGP. That is not finished (waiting for permission from the ISP and then from ARDC), but it already operates as a gateway. On that machine I installed the OpenVPN server. So it only works for existing adresses in the 44.137.0.0/16 network, that are not within a subnet registered at the portal.
However, others have taken a different approach, they allocate new addresses from a special subnet. I think the Finnish server does this as well.
Best would be if someone nearer to you provides this service, as this yields much better performance.
