Running Your Own As: BGP on FreeBSD with FRR, GRE Tunnels, and Policy Routing
You can now control your own slice of the internet, no big company required.
Deep Dive
A detailed guide explains how individuals can run their own Autonomous System (AS) on the public internet. Using a sponsoring organization to get an AS number and IPv6 address block, you can set up a FreeBSD router with FRR software. This allows you to announce your own addresses via BGP and create tunnels to remote servers, making your IP addresses portable and independent of any single internet provider.
