I've been running my own AS for years. You can get an ASN and IPv6 from a RIPE LIR for $200/year or less. Then you need a couple of VPSes that are BGP capable.

I've been running my own AS for years. You can get an ASN and IPv6 from a RIPE LIR for $200/year or less. Then you need a couple of VPSes that are BGP capable. You can get those for $20 month. Then you can tunnel traffic back to your location with a Wireguard tunnel or whatever you prefer. It's relatively cheap! I also have a legacy IPv4 block I'm routing, which doesn't cost me anything.
- apitman 4mo agoIs there no annual fee on all IPv4 blocks, or just legacy ones, which I'm assuming means blocks that haven't changed hands in a very long time?
- icedchai 4mo agoI registered this one back in the early 90's, predating the existence of ARIN. No fees only on legacy ones, assuming one has not signed a registration agreement. I assume, at some point, I will be forced into signing an agreement, but it's worked well so far.
