You mean like: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/others/ipv4-pricing/ ?

yes, a /24 was 0 setup, now now close to 5000 of currency.... and the monthly fee also doubled.
Noting that 20 for an IPv4 IP is effectively quite cheap with current prices going towards 50+...

There are thus already a few places that are doing the squish....
