For a long time, I operated from home with a auction-purchased IPv4 /24 just so I could get around all this BS and have my own AS.
There's nothing nicer than being able to BGP peer and just handle everything yourself. I really miss old Level 3 (before the Lumen/CenturyLink buyout).
Kind of kicking myself for selling my netblock but it was a decent amount of money ($6000).
- icedchai 1y agoI'm doing exactly this. I got my netblock for free in 1993, back in the Internic days before ARIN existed. I have a couple of VPSes running BGP and tunnel traffic back to my home over wireguard.
- b112 1y agoHey! What if I you will your netblock to me? I'll will you my camaro and my collection of amiga parts. (I really want your netblock)
- icedchai 1y agohah! If I wasn't actively using it, I'd consider renting it out. I bet you could find some early Internet dude that has a /24 they're not using
