GRE processes each packet independently. Combined with multiple tunnels and network paths, this makes it easier to create alternative routes and strengthen service availability.
Combine independent paths, link monitoring and failover routing to build resilient connectivity.
GRE’s simple encapsulation supports efficient packet forwarding. On equipment where CPU processing capacity determines throughput, this lightweight approach can deliver more throughput than an encrypted tunnel.
Pair a suitable plan, a connection sized for your traffic and compatible equipment to make the most of this efficiency.
Your router or server focuses on adding and removing tunnel headers. This lightweight processing leaves more CPU resources available for routing and the applications you host.
GRE focuses on direct plaintext transport. IPsec and WireGuard serve applications that need encryption at the tunnel layer.
Running a dedicated server and ready to host several communities? Route Taipan IPv4 addresses to your game instances through a GRE tunnel. Each service can have its own public address while you keep control of the files, settings and resources on your machine.
This setup suits a Minecraft platform or a broader game server hosting business. Your gateway receives traffic from the tunnel and routes it to the relevant instances. You build an offering around your hardware, your games and your relationship with players.
Estimate my planOn Proxmox or another virtualisation platform, your gateway can act as the GRE tunnel endpoint. You then organise public address routing to your virtual machines. Each VM can host its own services with connectivity suited to its role.
This is a useful foundation for a hosting business or a professional infrastructure. Choose compute resources and storage with the provider that suits you, then add Taipan connectivity. Your network layout can support your projects as your collection of machines grows.
Estimate my planWebsites, APIs and application services: a GRE tunnel can carry traffic for your IPv4 addresses to the servers hosting them. Assign an address to a service, a customer or a gateway to suit your architecture and keep your network resources clearly organised.
This flexibility helps you build a hosting offering around your needs. You manage your applications, certificates and configurations while the tunnel transports routed traffic to your infrastructure. It gives you a starting point for running several services on hardware you already operate.
Estimate my planGRE encapsulates and carries your packets in plaintext. For encrypted transport, choose IPsec or WireGuard.
GRE suits a server or router with a reachable public IPv4 address. WireGuard supports home connections, NAT, CGNAT and changing connection addresses.
Yes. Keep your hosting provider and hardware, configure the tunnel on your server or router, then route your Taipan addresses to your services.
