Anybody know of or have recommendations for providers of small VPS-line boxen (or alternative solutions) to serve as GRE endpoints? (for a small amount of IP addresses, /29 or /28 at most)
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.
