Important deployment nodes on how to use BGPTunnel.com:
-The BGP Peering details are visible in the portal.
-We don’t use multihop and do not support MD5.
-Peering IPs are not routed, hence you should set your own IPs that you announce via BGP as the source IPs, for example by setting one of your own IPs on a looback interface and use this IP as krt_prefsrc in birds kernel protocol, else outbound connections will fail.
-Note that GRE Tunnels require the endpoint IP to be reachable, use of GRE behind NAT is not recommended.
