Anybody know of or have recommendations for providers of small
VPS-line boxen (or alternative solutions) to serve as GRE endpoints?

I am finding a lot of places that will give you extra IPs on the box
itself (oftentimes out of the provider's own larger unsubnetted
prefix) but I am looking more for a setup with a single IP on the box
and a prefix routed to it.

Hi Alex,

You can usually deconfigure the extra IP's on the box and send them
down the tunnel. At worst you do a little proxy arp to tell the router
that your vps still serves those addresses.

You'll find providers are reluctant to assign /28's and /29's to
low-dollar VPS services.

How about VPS providers who will do BGP... Do they exist?

They do but it's BYOA and $10/mo generally doesn't cut it.


Nat Morris has been doing this, here’s a presentation he has on this
