AS213928

As you might have already seen in some of my posts, I use a weirdly “random” AS-number for some of my BGP sessions. This however is no coincidence. As of November 2024, I officially operate my own AS, AS213928.

And getting to this point was not as hard as some might thing. If you google for “LIR sponsoring”, you find plenty of offers from different companies, that will sponsor your own AS for a small yearly fee.

In my case, I also gained access to my own IPv6 PA prefix, which is 2a0e:97c0:190::/44. If you want to check more about this AS, you can check with HE’s BGP toolkit: https://bgp.he.net/AS213928
