Organisations holding assignments here
Registered organisations account for 100% of this network's IPv4 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 ARIN and LACNIC do not publish theirs, so space held in North and South America is largely unattributed here.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 100% of this network's IPv4 space. The table below divides that space.
| Category | IPv4 share | |
|---|---|---|
| VPN | 100% | |
| Datacenter | 100% | |
| Open proxy | 57% |
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
