[44net] Connectivity into 44net

Hello everyone, I've had a 44net account for a while now and I've played with both setting up OpenWRT, several Linux VMs, and a Cisco 1900 (with limited knowledge and testing from work when we got fancy ISR4443's) but never actually achieved anything. Previously I read that to achieve BGP connectivity something had to be done with the ISP to allow the AS route to be announced/routed so that may have been another roadblock. Also with the whole IPIP based traffic, you can only have a limited number of devices unless you start working nat-magic and throw everything behind the same ip. Personally, I'm more familiar with VPN-based tunneling back to an endpoint and the datacenter/carrier-based router would announce the /24 route based on the status of the tunnel/ip and would not actually need to involve the non-rfp'd local carrier at all. As long as traffic could be passed through a tcp port, the connection could be made. Are there any opportunities with IPSEC/SSL/OpenVPN or even SDWAN endpoints joining the network instead of needing a router and formal networking knowledge to do the same? I just keep running into the same issues with 44net even though I can muster along and setup my work sites with good old IPSEC tunnels and locking the service down.
