Sorry about not clarifying, I need a VPS in Chicago with the filtering in Chicago that I can set up a GRE tunnel to.
Gigenet offers filtering from Chicago? But don't think they offer GRE. You can check with them.
Thanks @Jack! I will definitely let you know if Gigenet is an option. From what I've heard they're pretty expensive but the service is great.
And yes, there aren't many providers in Chicago that offer ddos filtration. Steadfast only just got Blacklotus and they charge something like $250/ip.
@zfedora
I think X4B have DDoS protection in Chicago, but their GRE is in testing?
@SplitIce
We do have a setup for DDoS protection in Chicago (10Gbit/6Mpps).
GRE (and IPIP) is currently in very early alpha (still very crude). We wont be releasing it until we are confident in its stability (Est would be mid-late July).
Regarding GRE, It will go into semi-public beta (PM me) for individuals with a good level of knowledge in July. The main purpose of this beta test will be to
a) see if it possible for any use case to break the interface / configuration backend.
b) ensure that everything will be smooth for a public release
c) ensure that all features that are required are available.
We currently have two people down for beta testing in July. You are welcome to put your name down too (via PM).
Thanks, I'll definitely check it out @SplitIce @Ishaq
Hello,
We have our filtering nodes setup at Chicago, however our VMs theirself are around 20ms away. If that would work for you, HMU. The filtered IPs geolocate in Chicago as well.

I'm not 100% sure how this works but any provider out of Continuum Data Center could get onto their BlackLotus setup - they'd need their own setup, but the possibility is there.
Thanks @Alex_LiquidHost I'll look into that as well
Yeah @eric1212 Blacklotus just recently came to Steadfast as well, but they're pretty expensive
You're welcome @zfedora
If you need only a GRE tunnel, I can set it up directly from Chicago as well.
Who is the filtering done by in Chicago? And where are the VMs located? This may be the best bet for sake of keeping latency low(er).
Thanks!
@zfedora - I'd definitely look into Gigenet. They may be more expensive, but are top quality
They are top quality but I really just need a cheap solution and not all of the features. Though Gigenet is definitely still an option.
They do a 256MB VPS for something like $15/mo which is reasonable for cloud.
Are they filtered though? I bet they charge more for filtering. I'll look into it either way and might take @Jack up on his offer
Yeah, that's true - not 100% sure on how their filtering works as I've not used it.
http://ddosprotection.com/services/proxyshield/ That's gigenet's filtering and as far as I am aware, this is the price on top of the cloud
Owch. For a single service, and not a BGP session / multiple IP GRE tunnel that's really expensive. Enterprise prices. I doubt this is what @zfedora is after.
