What this tells you

  • Carries VPN exit infrastructure for ProtonVPN.
  • Its space resolves to 24 countries, concentrated almost entirely in Switzerland (82% of the IPv4 space), so it is effectively a single-market network despite the spread.
  • An estimated 9,143 people using this network are in Switzerland, the largest of the 3 countries it serves, 0.1% of everyone online there.
  • The same operator runs 3 other networks, and a larger one (AS208172) carries more of their users, so this network is only part of their footprint.
