IP Transit over GRE Tunnels
Carrier-grade IP transit delivered straight to any datacenter, cloud or on-prem network through secure GRE tunnels. No cross-connects, no waiting on circuits — announce your prefixes and route clean, low-latency bandwidth in minutes.
How GRE Tunnel IP Transit Works
We encapsulate your traffic inside a GRE tunnel over any existing IP connectivity — so you get full transit without a physical cross-connect to our routers.
Establish the GRE Tunnel
Point a GRE tunnel from your router or server to our anycast tunnel endpoint. Works over any internet uplink, in any datacenter, worldwide.
Bring Up BGP
We start an eBGP session inside the tunnel. Announce your own IPv4 /24 and IPv6 prefixes, or use addressing we assign to you.
Route Through Our Backbone
Your traffic rides our tier-1 blended backbone with smart routing, generous peering and DDoS-aware paths to every major exchange.
Scale On Demand
Add tunnels for ECMP load-balancing and failover, raise your commit, or burst on 95th-percentile — all without touching physical hardware.
A Network Built for Throughput
Densely peered, globally routed and engineered for the lowest possible latency to your users.

Why Deliver IP Transit over GRE?
GRE tunnels decouple your transit from physical geography. You get the routing power of a major network without ever pulling a cable.
No cross-connect, no circuit fees
Skip the cost and lead time of physical interconnects. If you have internet, you can have our transit.
Provider-independent
Layer our transit on top of any underlying uplink or cloud provider and keep full control of your routing policy.
Multi-tunnel resilience
Run several tunnels to different endpoints for automatic failover and ECMP load-sharing.
Portable addressing
Announce your own IP space anywhere in the world and keep it as you move or grow your infrastructure.
Built For
Hosting & Datacenters
Blend an extra upstream into your network for better routing diversity and pricing leverage.
Game Server Networks
Low-latency, DDoS-aware bandwidth to keep players connected during attacks.
ISPs & Resellers
Wholesale transit you can deliver to downstream customers over GRE at $0.40/Mbit.
Cloud & SaaS
Announce your own prefixes from any cloud region for portable, provider-independent IPs.
Premium IP Transit, Delivered Your Way
IP transit is the wholesale internet bandwidth that lets your network reach every other network on the planet. When you buy IP transit from FreakHosting, your traffic rides our tier-1 blended backbone — a densely peered, globally distributed network engineered for low latency and high availability. Instead of paying a different price for every destination, you get one simple, transparent rate of $0.40 per Mbit of committed bandwidth, with the option to bill on the 95th percentile as you grow.
What makes our offering different is delivery over GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnels. Traditional IP transit requires a physical cross-connect or a leased circuit into the provider's router — an expensive, slow process that ties you to a single building. With GRE-based transit, we encapsulate your traffic inside a tunnel that runs over any existing internet connectivity. You can be in a datacenter on another continent, behind a cloud provider, or on a humble single uplink, and still receive full BGP transit from our edge in minutes.
Once your GRE tunnel is up, we establish an eBGP session inside it. You can announce your own IPv4 /24 and IPv6 prefixes with your own ASN, or use address space we assign to you. From there, your routes propagate across our peering fabric and hundreds of internet exchange points worldwide. You control your announcements, communities and traffic engineering, while we handle capacity, peering relationships and upstream redundancy.
Because everything is virtual, scaling is effortless. Need more throughput? Raise your commit. Want redundancy? Add a second tunnel to a different endpoint and let ECMP load-balance across both. Under attack? Our DDoS-aware backbone absorbs volumetric floods upstream and supports remotely-triggered blackhole (RTBH) communities so you can drop malicious traffic before it ever reaches your tunnel.
Whether you run a hosting company that wants extra routing diversity, a game-server network that needs DDoS-resilient bandwidth, an ISP reselling transit downstream, or a SaaS platform that wants portable, provider-independent IP space, GRE-delivered IP transit gives you carrier-grade connectivity without carrier-grade complexity — all from $0.40 per Mbit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about GRE tunnel IP transit.
IP transit is wholesale internet bandwidth that allows your network to send and receive traffic to and from the entire internet. The provider announces your routes to the global routing table and carries your traffic across its backbone and peering. FreakHosting offers IP transit from $0.40 per Mbit of committed bandwidth.
Instead of a physical cross-connect, we deliver transit through a GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel that runs over your existing internet connection. You configure a tunnel to our endpoint, we bring up a BGP session inside it, and you immediately receive full IP transit — no cabling, no leased circuit, and no specific datacenter required.
Our IP transit is billed at a flat $0.40 per Mbit of committed bandwidth. A 1 Gbps commitment is $400 per month, 5 Gbps is $2,000 per month, and 10 Gbps is $4,000 per month. Larger commitments and 95th-percentile billing receive custom volume pricing below $0.40 per Mbit.
Yes. You can announce your own IPv4 /24 and IPv6 prefixes using your own ASN over the BGP session inside the GRE tunnel. If you don't have your own address space, we can assign IPv4 and IPv6 blocks for you to use.
Absolutely. Every IP transit plan is dual-stack and includes IPv6 alongside IPv4 at no extra cost.
Our backbone is DDoS-aware and absorbs volumetric attacks upstream. We support remotely-triggered blackhole (RTBH) communities, and dedicated scrubbing is available through our DDoS Protected IP Transit product for always-on filtering.
Tunnels are typically provisioned in under five minutes after your order is confirmed. Once the GRE tunnel and BGP session are up, you can start routing traffic immediately.
Yes. You can run multiple GRE tunnels to different endpoints for automatic failover, and use ECMP to load-balance your traffic across them for both redundancy and additional throughput.
