- `ip-proxy/tacs-cloud-ipv4-lease` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category prefix lease (RIPE LIR) | tier IPv4 lease by the /24
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-11-03T07:35:33.762Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-04
- url https://tacs.cloud/lease-ipv4/
- free tier: No free tier. The site's IP calculator states the lease rate per address: 'Lease per IP per month: RIPE $0.38, ARIN $0.32, APNIC $0.40', in 'USD per IP, excl. VAT', and the lease page says 'Lease prices depend on block size, registry and term.' | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-11-03 | source: [1] | note: The rates are the calculator's published per-address figures; the final price 'depends on the block, its reputation and the terms', and a lease is a quote request, not a checkout. The lease terms, minimum duration and any setup fee are not on the pages read.
- per-object cap: not applicable: an address block, not an object; the smallest lease unit is a /24 | source: [2] | note: The home page states 'Smallest unit we lease: /24' and the lease page sells 'Clean IPv4 space by the /24'.
- retention: not applicable: a leased block, not stored bytes | source: [3] | note: The lease page says 'for as long as you need it' and lists a signed lease contract as step 3 of 5; no term, notice or minimum duration is stated. unverified: the contract terms, which come with the offer.
- egress: not applicable: the vendor leases address space announced from the lessee's ASN; it does not carry the traffic. | metered: no | free allowance: not applicable: no traffic is carried by the lease | source: [3]
- identity: email | detail: unverified: a lease starts as a quote request. The contact form asks for name, email and a topic ('We use your details only to answer your request.'), and the process then goes request, offer, agreement ('Lease contract signed') and setup. Whether the contract needs company documents, a KYC or a card was not readable: behind a sign-up. The lease is announced 'from your ASN', so an ASN of the lessee is required.
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): smallest lease unit is a /24: 'Smallest unit we lease: /24'; at the RIPE rate of $0.38 per IP per month a /24 is 256 addresses [2]
- limits note: The vocabulary has no kind for a minimum block size or a required ASN; volume-quota is the nearest for the /24 minimum, and the ASN requirement is stated in tooling and identity. Rates differ by registry (RIPE $0.38, ARIN $0.32, APNIC $0.40 per IP per month).
- binding note: The /24 minimum is the smallest purchase, and the lease announces from the lessee's ASN, which a reader without an ASN does not have; the limit vocabulary has no kind for an ASN requirement.
- interface detail: A quote request form on the contact page and an IP calculator; no portal, API or client tool is shown on the pages read.
- tooling: The lessee's own BGP session: the lease page says the space is 'Announced from your ASN, with ROA and reverse DNS set up' and includes an LOA to announce the block from the ASN, a ROA, delegated reverse DNS and a reputation report. The vendor does not state that it announces the block for a lessee.
- composes with: A leased /24 is 256 addresses in one prefix and one registry object, so it is one rung-3 unit, and the lessee needs an ASN of its own to announce it. The vendor is itself a RIPE NCC LIR, so a RIPE lease is the vendor's own registry space; no delivered block was inspected.
- reliability: unverified: no delivered block, test address or registry object is published. The vendor states a reputation report for the block 'before handover' and describes itself as a RIPE NCC LIR.
- evidence note: Documented: the per-address rates, the /24 minimum, the ASN-announcement model and the RIPE LIR status are stated on the vendor's pages, captured 2026-11-03. The contract terms, identity checks beyond the contact form and the registry object of a delivered block are unverified.
- extras:
  - role: RIPE LIR that buys, sells and leases blocks and also leases out on behalf of owners at a 15% commission
  - min_prefix: /24
  - price_per_address_month: USD 0.38 (RIPE), USD 0.32 (ARIN), USD 0.40 (APNIC), excluding VAT
  - price_derived: USD 0.38 x 256 = USD 97.28 per month for a RIPE /24; USD 0.32 x 256 = USD 81.92 for ARIN; USD 0.40 x 256 = USD 102.40 for APNIC, before VAT
  - registries: RIPE NCC, ARIN, APNIC
  - needs_own_asn: yes
  - rung: 3
  - rung_note: One /24 is one rung-3 unit; rung 5 is unverified until a delivered block's registry object is read.
