Go to your RIR to request an IPv4 block and be put on a waiting list.&lt;p&gt;Or break out your cheque book and be prepared to cough up $35+&amp;#x2F;IP for the privilege:&lt;p&gt;* &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;auctions.ipv4.global&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;auctions.ipv4.global&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;* &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;ipv4marketgroup.com&amp;#x2F;ipv4-pricing&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;ipv4marketgroup.com&amp;#x2F;ipv4-pricing&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;* &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;ipv4connect.com&amp;#x2F;marketplace&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;ipv4connect.com&amp;#x2F;marketplace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or get an IPv6 address block right away for $0.</text></comment>
