I've been running my own AS for years. You can get an ASN and IPv6 from a RIPE LIR for $200/year or less. Then you need a couple of VPSes that are BGP capable. You can get those for $20 month. Then you can tunnel traffic back to your location with a Wireguard tunnel or whatever you prefer. It's relatively cheap! I also have a legacy IPv4 block I'm routing, which doesn't cost me anything.

Is there no annual fee on all IPv4 blocks, or just legacy ones, which I'm assuming means blocks that haven't changed hands in a very long time?

I registered this one back in the early 90's, predating the existence of ARIN. No fees only on legacy ones, assuming one has not signed a registration agreement. I assume, at some point, I will be forced into signing an agreement, but it's worked well so far.
