Funny thing. I have no BGP router, yet I have a subnet. BGP is used by carriers and ISPs to determine optimum routing. It is not useful for end networks that have only one connection to the Internet.
Also, in another note I mentioned Teredo tunnels. These should be blocked, disabled or otherwise managed on a corporate network as they enable someone to completely bypass the firewall etc.

Nope, that's exactly where you are wrong. Unless you possess an ASN and
sign up with a carrier giving you BGP access, you canNOT freely do
whatever you want. You have no right and they have no obligation, it's
their network after all.
