BGP sessions

WouterTBWouterTB Member
edited July 2020 in Help

Hey, I'm looking for someone that can help me figure out BGP for my use case (proxies). I'm only looking for a basic configuration file to help me get started. (willing to pay)
Kind regards,
Wouter

    What exactly are you trying to do? What are you trying to configure? BGP and proxies have nothing to do with each other by the way.

  • zenkizenki Member

    Proxies with a BGP session? What exactly do you need a BGP session for?

  • ma2tma2t Member

    Are you trying to announce your own IPs with BGP and use it for proxies?

    So a bgp session gets established, so I can announce my ip's under my own ASN and not the server providers' asn

  • WouterTBWouterTB Member

    IP: 194.127.173.65
    Decimal: 3263147329
    Hostname: 194.127.173.65
    ASN: 62240
    ISP: Clouvider Limited
    Organization: Clouvider Limited

    So when looking up an IP I want it to show my own ASN instead of the server providers\ asn. I've been in contact with multiple providers and they all say it is possible, I just need to configure the bgp session on my end, which I can't figure out. That's why I came here to seek help.
    Please excuse any wrong use of terms etc. Since I'm very new to this all

    Do you own a ASN and at least a /24 subnet? As that will be needed to setup a bgp session.

    I do yes.

    You need to run a BGP daemon on your end like OpenBGPD, preferably on an actual router, such as pfSense which is free https://pfsense-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packages/openbgpd-package.html Otherwise you'll have to invest in expensive edge routing equipment.
    Are you planning on running full tables?

  • WouterTBWouterTB Member

    Full tables yeah, I'm running bird rn, the problem is I can't figure out how to configure it on my own end. I got all the things needed, just not the knowledge on how to configure it. (Why I'm seeking help here). I tried following a udemy on it but that's didn't teach me much at all haha.

    When I was starting with BGP (on DN42) I found their configuration guides on Bird to be quite useful - https://dn42.net/howto/bird - hopefully they might help make things a bit clearer

    There are a few examples in the bird wiki and as @YellowHummingbird said on dn42:
    https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/wikis/Examples
    https://dn42.net/howto/Bird
    We also have a basic config on our KB: https://fognet.ch/kb/bird-bgp-example

    And on another friendly note, BGP is not a thing to screw around with, a bad configuration can have a quite large impact, make sure you have good and working export filters!
