OT: VPS with Routed IP space
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. TIA for your insight. Alex (if you or your company can do this, direct solicitations are okay too. do keep in mind it's just a personal project and I do not have larger commercial volume at this time)
You just need to enable proxy ARP on the box to simulate a routed subnet. Den 24/02/2015 19.25 skrev "Alex Buie" <alex.buie@frozenfeline.net>:

Or NOT. That’s a horribly ugly thing to do in a situation where the desired behavior shouldn’t be that hard to achieve. Owen

Same here, we do as well. But as per the OPs question: we will route additional space but you generally need a good reason for it. Regards, Tim Raphael

Hit and miss I find. We do it for the odd client and haven't really had any issues.

Thanks to those who mailed off-list for the BGP thread-jack. Seems like those providers that do BGP would probably route their own space to VPS as well.. (Like OP want. if I understand correctly). Some of them even state that they even SWIP the addresses, which is positive. On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 5:59 PM, Doug Barton <dougb@dougbarton.us> wrote:

We are going to do this at datapath.io using AWS and others soon. We do some BGP peering on your behalf and expose some parameters to the VPS via API. Best regards, Sebastian

Since the requirement included IPv6, I’m not sure how you plan to use AWS. Owen

You are right. Sorry for the sloppiness. OT: There is no way to even let two instances communicate with each other in the same VPC subnet using a protocol other than IPv4, although they transport ethernet headers (no VXLAN). Our only solution was to use v6 load balancers that tunnel with our endpoint on the other side of direct connect.

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. On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 3:29 PM, Zachary Giles <zgiles@gmail.com> wrote:
