Having worked on BGP for a couple of decades, it is fascinating to have own ASN and Prefixes. As a hobby, this is a budget project leveraging free, or low cost services.

• RIPE ASN: €30 one time from Bakker IT
• IPv6 Prefixes: Free from SecureBit, and a generous gift from ZX
• BGP Upstream:
  • Free from SecureBit
  • Free from NetAssist
  • $2.5/month Vultr in NJ, US (Lowest plan only in US)
  • €1.75/month Virtua.Host in Paris, FR (EU POP is desirable for RIPE ASN)
