Use your own ASN and prefixes
Bring your own routing identity and address space, or speak to QuickHost about ASN provisioning through our RIPE LIR membership if you are not already set up.
BGP as a Service
Announce your prefixes and deliver traffic to infrastructure anywhere
Use your own ASN and IP prefixes, or obtain an ASN through QuickHost as a RIPE LIR member. We announce your prefixes from the QuickHost edge and, where required, deliver traffic securely to your infrastructure over WireGuard or GRE.
After onboarding your ASN, prefixes, and LOA documentation, we configure the announcement from our network and route live traffic to your chosen endpoint, whether that is cloud, colocation, on-prem, or remote infrastructure.

What BGPaaS gives you
BGP as a Service gives you more than simple prefix origination. It lets you announce your IP space from the QuickHost edge and, where needed, deliver live traffic back to your own infrastructure using a secure GRE or WireGuard tunnel.
Managed announcement
Announce your IP space from the QuickHost edge without having to build and manage the full upstream environment yourself.
Traffic delivery
Route live traffic securely to infrastructure anywhere using WireGuard or GRE tunnels.
How BGPaaS works
Our BGP as a Service platform makes it straightforward to onboard your ASN and prefixes, configure announcement from the QuickHost edge, and deliver routed traffic back to your own infrastructure over GRE or WireGuard.
Enter your ASN
Provide the ASN to be used with the service, whether it is an existing customer ASN or one arranged through QuickHost as part of our RIPE LIR services.
Add your prefixes
Submit the IP prefixes you want announced from the QuickHost edge, along with the required LOA documentation for review and onboarding.
Choose your tunnel type
Select WireGuard or GRE for traffic delivery, depending on your router, firewall, server, or wider network design.
Route to your infrastructure
Once active, traffic for your announced prefixes is received at the QuickHost edge and securely delivered to your chosen infrastructure anywhere you need it.
How traffic is delivered to your infrastructure
Once your prefixes are announced from the QuickHost edge, traffic can be securely delivered back to your own infrastructure using either WireGuard or GRE. The right option depends on your routing design, platform compatibility, and how you want the tunnel managed.
WireGuard delivery
Use WireGuard for a modern, lightweight tunnel type that offers straightforward peer configuration and a clean operational model, while providing a simple and secure way to deliver routed traffic back to your infrastructure.
- Good for cloud, and software-defined environments
- Ideal when you want a modern encrypted tunnel
- Excellent for Linux, router, and firewall deployments
GRE delivery
Choose GRE for a traditional, widely supported tunnel type that integrates easily with existing routing setups and provides a simple, flexible way to deliver routed traffic back to your infrastructure.
- Good for established routing environments
- Broad support across appliances and firewalls
- Useful where GRE is already in use
Control the service from the module
Manage your BGP as a Service deployment from a single self-service module. Upload LOAs, review approved prefixes, configure tunnel handoff, control announcements, and monitor live status, bandwidth usage, and service details in one place.
Main service overview
See the status of your BGP announcement service at a glance, including review, provisioning, prefix announcement, and tunnel handoff state. The service summary gives you a clear view of your ASN, approved prefixes, LOA progress, and public addressing details.
Service actions and live status
Upload LOA files, configure your tunnel, start or stop handoff delivery, and control prefix announcements from a single interface. Live status checks also show the current BGP daemon state, tunnel runtime, and handoff health.
Bandwidth usage
Monitor how much traffic your BGPaaS service is carrying with live usage metrics, quota visibility, 95th percentile data, and historical bandwidth graphs. This makes it easier to understand traffic patterns and plan around allowance or overage models.
Approved prefixes
See which prefixes are currently authorised for announcement on your service and submit changes for review when your routing requirements evolve. Prefix requests stay controlled through an approval workflow before they are applied.
Tunnel handoff
Set up and manage the delivery side of the service using WireGuard or GRE. The handoff view shows tunnel status, endpoint details, addressing, and the information needed to connect your own router, firewall, server, or remote infrastructure.
Choose your BGPaaS package
Choose the BGPaaS package that matches how you want to use your ASN and prefixes. Whether you only need prefix announcement or also want traffic delivered back to your infrastructure over WireGuard or GRE, QuickHost gives you a straightforward way to deploy and manage the service.

What you need before you order
Before ordering BGP as a Service, you should have the ASN, prefixes, and tunnel endpoint details needed for onboarding. Your infrastructure should also be ready to receive routed traffic and apply any routing, firewall, or filtering policy required on your side.
- An ASN you control, or one provisioned through QuickHost via our RIPE LIR service
- IP prefixes that are ready for announcement through the service
- LOA documentation for any prefixes that require authorisation review
- A tunnel endpoint that supports WireGuard or GRE
- Infrastructure ready to receive and use the routed traffic
- Any routing, filtering, or firewall policy needed on your side
BGPaaS FAQ
Find answers to common questions about ASN onboarding, prefix announcements, tunnel delivery, LOA review, and how QuickHost BGPaaS works in practice.
Who is BGPaaS designed for?
BGPaaS is designed for customers who want to announce their own IP prefixes and route traffic back to infrastructure they control, whether that is in colocation, cloud, on-prem, or a remote network.
Do I need my own ASN?
No. You can use your own ASN if you already have one, or QuickHost can help provide an ASN through our RIPE LIR service where required.
Do I need my own IP prefixes?
Yes, for prefix announcement you will need IP space that you control or are authorised to use, together with any supporting LOA documentation required for review.
What is the difference between prefix announcement and traffic delivery?
Prefix announcement tells the Internet to send traffic for your IP space to the QuickHost edge. Traffic delivery is the handoff part, where we send that traffic back to your own infrastructure over a GRE or WireGuard tunnel.
Can I use BGPaaS if my servers are hosted somewhere else?
Yes. That is one of the main use cases. We can announce your prefixes from the QuickHost edge and deliver traffic back to your infrastructure over a supported tunnel.
Which tunnel types do you support?
We currently support WireGuard and GRE for traffic delivery, allowing you to choose the option that best fits your routing design and platform.
Do I need to run BGP on my own router?
Not necessarily. The BGP announcement is handled from the QuickHost side. Your side must be able to terminate the chosen tunnel and correctly route or use the delivered traffic.
What equipment can I use on my side?
You can deliver traffic to compatible infrastructure such as a router, firewall, Linux server, cloud instance, MikroTik, OPNsense, or pfSense, provided it can support the required tunnel and routing setup.
What do I need before ordering?
You should have an ASN or require one through QuickHost, prefixes ready for onboarding, any required LOA documentation, and infrastructure capable of receiving traffic over GRE or WireGuard.
Is this suitable for standard hosting customers?
Usually not. BGPaaS is intended for customers with a specific routing requirement, their own IP space, and infrastructure capable of handling tunnel delivery and routed traffic.
Can QuickHost help if I am not sure my setup is ready?
Yes. We can help review your ASN, prefixes, LOA requirements, and tunnel design before you place an order.
Ready to announce your own prefixes without running your own edge?
Launch your BGP announcement service through QuickHost and deliver routed traffic back to your own infrastructure over WireGuard or GRE. Use your own ASN and prefixes, or speak to us about ASN provisioning through our RIPE LIR service.
