a community for home labbers and retro geeks
At Nekotopia, level isn't bought: it's forged in 1.21-gigawatt bursts of effort. Every guide written, artifact added, and pixel placed builds the platform. Level up your access by sharing your knowledge and homelab.
Nothing on this page is for sale. Basic is free. Plus and Pro get switched on by hand after a conversation with the maintainer, and it is a short one if you have been using the network. Three things matter:
Get retro kit and homelabs onto the private encrypted mesh.
Headroom for active projects with public internet egress.
Full routed prefixes, BYOIP, and advanced L3 networking.
Capabilities by tier. Readings in mono are limits; the rest is yes or no.

Real public IPv4 allocations from the network's own RIPE NCC address blocks.
Allocates a dedicated public IPv4 address with 1:1 bidirectional NAT. Allows your internal retro box or homelab server to accept incoming connections from the global internet without exposing your home IP.
Peer via BGP over encrypted WireGuard with regional hubs. Advertise your assigned IPv4 prefix (/32 to /28) directly from your own edge router with custom routing policies and pure L3 connectivity.
