I'm curious, how does one go about obtaining IPv4 address space these days? I thought it had become quite a pain, and usually expensive enough to need serious cash?


There are auction services, but its not cheap. V6 address space is basically free.


Yeah, the auctions are about all I've seen and they're pricey enough one would probably need some investment or a substantial loan to obtain enough space for this sort of thing. I'm not sure how a trial hobby project gets the money for that.


A hobby project should use V6.


No, because I may want it reachable from somewhere that doesn't have good v6 support. Plus this guy's project is literally based on v4, so I'm not sure how that would work.
