Awesome, I was just looking for something like this the other day! SEO feedback: Try to be discoverable via term like "ipv4 tunnel provider", you may get more search leads. In my mind I was looking for an inverse Hurricane Electric.
Also, do you have any plans at all to accept payments via cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin? That would make you guys a no-brainer.

Thanks for the SEO feedback, definitely something we will look into! We currently use Stripe, and I don't think Stripe has any plans to bring back crypto payments :(

Very cool - looking forward to seeing the new plan. I think this is a great solution for people who want to bring their own hardware.
When you consider that we include a domain registration and offsite encrypted backups, our subscription pricing is fairly comparable.

I like the idea of decoupling residential IP service from a physical ISP, but I'd be worried about getting blocked by Netflix, like Hurricane Electric's tunnel broker. Has Hoppy managed to avoid those problems?
Clean IPv4 + IPv6 address, Reverse DNS, unblocked ports, unfiltered ICMP
It's priced reasonably to keep bad actors out:

We have a $60/year plan in the works, which will be available before the end of this year.
