A few years ago I decided to get my own ASN. I have a couple of VPSes running BGP with my upstreams at geographically diverse but relatively close locations (10 to 15 ms ping.) I have Wireguard tunnels between the VPSes and also from each VPS to my home network, forming a mesh w/OSPF. Originally, I was only injecting default routes into OSPF so I'd have basic redundancy if things failed, treating one provider as a secondary, not caring much about outgoing load balancing. I recently switched to internal BGP though, and am doing some load balancing w/partial tables. Pretty cool stuff. I used BIRD for OSPF and BGP.

This is my dream setup. Awesome.

Thanks! It was fun setting it up! I was originally a network engineer working for early ISPs, before moving on to more of a software focus. I was lucky enough to register my own IPv4 block back in the 90's.
