A comprehensive beginners guide about getting your own ASN and own IP address
Thank you for this guide! I've been looking into getting an ASN in Australia, but the cost is much worth and the requirements stricter.
There also isn't the same kind of ecosystem locally (such as LIRs)
> No, you can ask your provider to announce the IPs for you via a private ASN, but I have not seen a provider that is cheap enough to do BYOIP without an ASN. Getting your own ASN is the best option.
BYOIP in AWS is free. and VPC have lot of customisable and all are well documented.
