Autonomous system
AS174: Cogent Communications, LLC
United States · hosting / infrastructure
Estimated users is a published estimate of how many people use this network, extrapolated from 310,983 observations over a 60 day window. Large operators often run several networks, so a low figure can mean their customers reach the internet through a sibling network.
What this tells you
- Hosts exit infrastructure for 4 different VPN brands, among them Private Internet Access, IPVanish and CyberGhost. That is characteristic of a provider that rents capacity to several VPN operators.
- Its space resolves to 106 countries, concentrated almost entirely in United States (93% of the IPv4 space), so it is effectively a single-market network despite the spread.
- An estimated 255,696 people using this network are in United States, the largest of the 35 countries it serves, 0.1% of everyone online there.
- The same operator runs 87 other networks, the largest listed below.
- 102 distinct organisations hold registered assignments inside this space, so an address here often belongs to one of their customers.

Organisations holding assignments here
Registered organisations account for 1% of this network's IPv4 space and 59% of its IPv6 space. The table below divides that space. Registered holders come from the bulk whois that RIPE, APNIC and AFRINIC publish. ARIN and LACNIC do not publish theirs, so space held in North and South America is largely unattributed here.
Anonymizer signals
Flagged space covers 6% of this network's IPv4 space and <0.1% of its IPv6 space. The table below divides that space.
| Category | IPv4 share | IPv6 share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open proxy | 99% | 100% | |
| Datacenter | 89% | 100% | |
| VPN | 6% | - |
One address can carry more than one of these, so the rows add up to more than the space they cover.
VPN operators using this network
Space published by a named VPN provider covers <0.1% of this network's IPv4 space. The table below divides that space. That counts only what providers publish as their own exits. Space merely associated with VPN use is wider, and is counted under Anonymizer signals above.
| Provider | IPv4 share | |
|---|---|---|
| Private Internet Access | 94% | |
| IPVanish | 3% | |
| CyberGhost | 2% | |
| Everything else (1 more) | <0.1% |
