Looking to see if anyone on the list knows anything about the 4IXP “virtual IXP” - https://www.4ixp.com/ ?  
Specifically - is it a dead project ?  I reached out to a few email addresses for them and never got any replies.

My next step is to look at https://bgp.exchange/. I don’t think they are the same ? (but their sites and services 
look very similar at a quick glance)

Howdy,

Would you clarify what you're looking for? Are you looking for BGP
Internet access service delivered via VPN? Or are you looking for
reciprocal peering (IXP service) delivered by VPN?

I don't quite understand the use case for the latter. The main point
of peering is to avoid sending data over your paid transit.

For the former, I can give you some pointers.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
