I own a class C block of public IP addresses that were registered back in the 1990’s. How can I have those routed to my droplets instead of using those supplied by Digital Ocean?
Thanks.

Hello,
We don’t support importing your own IP addresses so this won’t be possible as of now. If you find that this is a feature that you’d want us to support, I’d recommend finding an entry that covers your ask or creating one that articulates your needs at the following page so we can understand community support as well as getting that information in front of our engineering teams:

It seems that this entry may be along the lines of what you’re looking for, BGP announcement of your own address space for Droplets:

Hi there,
Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) is now generally available. This feature lets you bring your own block of IPv4 addresses to DigitalOcean and manage them just like Reserved IPs.
Once your IP block is provisioned, you can assign those addresses to Droplets through the control panel or API using the same workflow as Reserved IPs.
You can learn more here: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/reserved-ips/
