The problem

IPv4 addresses are exhausted.
The market is moving.

RIPE NCC exhausted its IPv4 pool in 2019. ARIN ran out in 2015. New networks cannot obtain fresh IPv4 blocks — they must rent from existing holders.

IP Broker makes this simple. If you need address space, browse listings from verified LIRs. If you hold unused blocks, list them and earn monthly rental income with zero effort.

How it works

From browse to routed in four steps

  1. Browse the marketplace

    Explore available IPv4 subnets from /24 to /22. Filter by prefix size, region, and price.

  2. Place your order

    Submit your RIPE organisation handle, ASN, country, and routing description. An invoice is generated instantly.

  3. Pay the invoice

    Pay securely via Stripe. You have 6 hours to complete payment before the order is cancelled.

  4. LIR assigns the subnet

    The LIR has 24 hours to assign and provide confirmation. You verify receipt — IPs are yours.

Why IP Broker

Built for networks, not accountants

  • No prepaid balance

    Pay per invoice. No need to top up or maintain a balance. You only pay when you order.

  • RIPE-ready routing

    Provide your RIPE org, ASN, and geofeed during checkout. LIRs handle the IRR and RPKI records.

  • 24-hour assignment SLA

    Once paid, LIRs are required to assign the subnet within 24 hours — or the order is refunded.

  • Stripe payments

    All payments are processed through Stripe. Refunds are automatic if the LIR fails to deliver on time.

  • LIR confirmation

    After the LIR assigns the subnet, you confirm receipt. No automatic charges — you stay in control.

  • Full invoice history

    Every order generates an invoice. Track payment status, due dates, and order details from one dashboard.

We list subnets from /24 (256 IPs) up to /22 (1024 IPs). Larger blocks may be available on request.
How long does IPv4 subnet assignment take?
After payment, the LIR has 24 hours to complete the assignment. Most orders are fulfilled within a few hours.
What happens if the LIR does not assign the subnet?
If the LIR fails to assign within 24 hours, your order is automatically cancelled and you receive a full refund via Stripe.
Do I need to prepay or maintain a balance?
No. We use an invoice system. You only pay when you place an order, and only for that specific subnet.
What information do I need to provide?
Your RIPE organisation handle (ORG-XXXX-RIPE), an ASN, and a 2-letter country code. Geofeed URL and contacts are optional.
Can I cancel an IPv4 rental order?
Orders with unpaid invoices are auto-cancelled after 6 hours. Once paid, orders can only be cancelled if the LIR fails to deliver.
