I use Free Range Cloud for 44Net stuff. Their smallest VPS is $4.99 USD and there is no
filtering that I have run into. I have my networks advertised with BGP to a Debian VM and
then use an interesting mix of IPSec, OpenVPN, and Wireguard to tunnel the networks from
the VPS into the ham stuff via various cable modem gateways. I also run an OpenVPN client
server where individual repeater controllers or hotspots can get assigned a 44Net IP
address directly to have better non-NAT connectivity. FRC has been extremely cooperative
and supporting of our work.
I'm planning to document how to do everything we've done once some final things
are put in place.
I'm also looking at how to directly offer some point services more widely as needed.

You can also host it in vultr. I would have to check, but IPIP should not be a problem
there and it costs indeed about 5$ per month

Is AWS able to run an IPIP gateway? I am currently trying to migrate
an IPIP gateway from the "Hosted Raspberry Pi" that it is now to a VM
that is being offered as a replacement, but it turns out that the
"Apache Cloudstack" that this (and apparently many other) hoster uses to deploy
VMs is unable to pass other network traffic than TCP and UDP.
(and replies to outgoing traffic)
Good enough for OpenVPN and will probably work with IPsec and other
VPN protocols, but not suitable for an IPIP gateway that also accepts incoming traffic.
I am now looking for a solution. Of course I can make a VPN to our
gateway, but this system was a test environment for an IPIP gateway. When IPIP goes
away, I no longer need it.
However, I could also use it to draft an example of how to setup a VPN service on a Linux
machine.
