I already posted in this thread, but then I remembered a few months ago I had posted about my ISP + web host project. [1]
Since then, I configured all the hardware (switches, router, server, bastion host, etc), put it in a real colo, and am doing BGP with one upstream (with a second upstream and some peers on the way). This means I'm officially part of the internet! E.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45870010
How did you receive your ipv4 /24 subnet?
My /24 came from ARIN's NRPM 4.10 block [1]. Basically, you can get a /24 if you'll use it to help IPv6 adoption, which is what I'm doing: my web hosting service will offer shared IPv4 and dedicated IPv6 (like Fly.io does), and same for the ISP - CGNAT for the IPv4, dedicated IPv6 subnets.
