IPv6 and BGP adventure

Thu, 18 Jul 2019 18:08:07 +0000

Hi readers,

This post will be about my ‘adventure’ of getting my own AS number, IPv6 subnet, and peering with Hurricane Electric to announce my IPv6 subnet over a 6to4 tunnel.

I started to chat with someone on Discord about getting my own IPv6 subnet. They’re not that expensive. I got mine from SnapServ. I purchased a /44 IPv6 subnet and an Autonomous System Number.

After having successfully set-up a 6to4 tunnel with Hurricane Electric before, I decided to sign up for a BGP tunnel, so I can use my own IP address space.

Hi readers,

Welcome to this server update post. I’ve made some changes to the system, and it’s almost done! Sadly, right now it’s come of a stop, because of lack of storage space.

It’s not a big update. Hardware-wise, nothing changed. I am planning to go 10 gigabit though, whenever I have more monthly income, because with what I earn right now, it would me impossible.

VM-wise, I added a virtual machine for peering with a Virtual Internet Exchange. Currently I am working on my own Virtual Internet Exchange, which would be for people who want to learn BGP, routing and more.
