Dutch IP space would be fine too (: That said I'm up for whatever I can just simply get working until I can find better. What would be ideal here would be for somewhere between each /16 and each /24 for instance to have a bgp announced vlan server that accepted a variety of vlan and tunnel types (GRE, PPTP, L2TP, OpenVPN, LibreSwan/StrongSwan). maybe as a group we could head that way. I'd be up for leading an effort to get something us based going. In the US at least the layout of IP space poses a bit of an issue though as a /16 is a bit more regionalized than would be desired for something starting at the national level which would be easiest or even breaking things into say east and west.

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.
