My understanding is that as a single user I cannot get an allocation for a home lab or a small set of VPSs. The (very reasonable) requirements are that you need to be multi homes, or need lots of networks for e.g. employees or have 13+ different offices for the smallest allocation. This is very good info but isn’t for a hobbyist.
- ipython 4y agoYou can get small free ipv6 allocations from hurricane electric’s tunnel broker (tunnelbroker.net) Of course those aren’t “portable” assignments but it’s great for experimenting and such.
- IgorPartola 4y agoThat’s not really an allocation. I use it currently but it’s by no means ideal.
- zauguin 4y agoI don't know about ARIN, but I got an PI assignment from RIPE for my home lab without issues.
- sigio 4y agoAny LIR can get a /29 (or /32), and probably anyone that can find a sponsoring LIR can get a /48 no questions asked.
- IgorPartola 4y agoWhat is a LIR?
- hampereddustbin 4y agoWikipedia says it is >A local Internet registry (LIR) is an organization that has been allocated a block of IP addresses by a RIR, and that assigns most parts of this block to its own customers RIR being Regional Internet Registry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Internet_registry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Internet_registry
- sleepydog 4y agoWho do you peer with? How do you make your prefix publicly routable? Or do you only use it privately?
- zauguin 4y agoI currently peer (via tunnels through my IPv4 connection) with securebit (aka tunnelbroker.ch), freetransit.ch and route48.org (but the list varies a bit over time), The original motivation was my frustration about my ISP not offering native IPv6 and general interest in internet routing.
- preisschild 4y agoTried to go this route too, but got stuck setting up Bird2 over GRE tunnels. Do you mind sharing your config if you use Bird or similar?
- zauguin 4y agoSorry, I missed your message. I'm using bird2 (and networkd for the tunnels) but sending the configs here doesn't work that great. Feel free to reach out by mail and I can send you a copy (news@2krueger.de).
