Thanx to all here on the list for input to earlier posts. Helped a lot.
Question I have is there anywhere where you can get a block of IP address or lease as I'm in the process of getting a 10/10Mb SHDSL service(No flaming data cap :-)) here in AU but I want an IP range that abuse questions can be forwarded to me. The service provider doesn't provide ARIN registration but said if I have my own block I can update the BG and manage it my self.
If you're interested in becoming your own ISP (obtaining your own ASN, IPv6 and IPv4 scopes), you'll need to apply via APNIC, as I did in the US with ARIN. Here is an example:
1. Find co-location space in AU with good prices. Be transparent and educational about what you plan on doing so your provider isn't surprised. You would need to get a quote from them for 2U of space, 2 amps of power, 100Mbps commit on a 1G port, and a /28 or greater. You need two low power systems, one router (pfsense, opnsense, etc) for BGP and general routing, and one system for Tor processes. You will run middle relays until you get your own IP scopes -- rDNS and SWIP is not enough to get all abuse to come directly to you.
2. Once you have your /28 (etc) IPv4 scope (Tor still depends on v4), you can apply to APNIC for ASN and IP scopes. I encourage you to prioritize IPv6, but v4 is still required. You need to show current IP usage in order to apply for, and be granted, your own IP scopes (chicken before the egg). ARIN is $550 for ASN, and $500 each for v6 (/36) and v4 (/24) scopes. Each item is $100 recurring annually, but I don't know what APNIC charges for any of those things.
3. Once you have your own AS and IPs, you'll need to sign a BGP Letter of Agency (LOA) with your transit provider so they can announce your IP scopes upstream. Then you can then change your IPs and begin exit relaying if you're comfortable with that.
So, there's lots of details that I didn't go into, obviously this example depends on many things and also requires knowledge of certain systems and legality. Doing all of this will require a couple thousand dollars and fortitude, especially if you are new to networking. Happy to help further if needed.

Paul PS - the best price I can do at the moment is $550pm - *SIGH* - but worth it. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
