IT Consultant from Germany, Linux enthusiast, BSD fanboy and firmly convinced that Ancient Domains of Mystery is the greatest video game of all time (and always will be). You'll find me here talking about Open Source, self-hosting, advanced networking (proud operator of AS201379), smart home shenanigans, and anything you can torment with a terminal. Cat pictures also welcome. Left, antifascist, vegan. The trifecta your uncle warned you about.

6 Upstreams, 105 direct peers 🙂
My AS201379 / 2a06:9801:1c::/48 has some really solid European connectivity now.
Entirely powered by FreeBSD and FRRouting, no proprietary routers and no legacy-IP (formerly known as IPv4).

Successful surgery on my BGP core for AS201379 done.
Got a third edge-router online, reorganized local-preferences and optimizing packet flows for efficiency and cost.
Monitoring with Grafana is perfectly fine. RIPE Atlas measurement looks amazing for central Europe 🙂
Great connectivity for my 2a06:9801:1c::/48

I just published a new guide on evolving a single BGP router into a multi-homed, two-PoP network using FreeBSD, FRR, and PF.
- Native peering on Vultr + 3 GRE transits
- Tying it together with iBGP
- Why stateful firewalls break asymmetric transit (and how to fix it)
All for ~€18/mo.
