What this tells you
- Hosts exit infrastructure for 6 different VPN brands, among them Private Internet Access, CyberGhost and ExpressVPN. That is characteristic of a provider that rents capacity to several VPN operators.
- 50% of the IPv4 space here is VPN-related, so traffic from this network is unlikely to be ordinary end users.
- Its space resolves to 9 countries, concentrated almost entirely in Sweden (85% of the IPv4 space), so it is effectively a single-market network despite the spread.
- An estimated 85,651 people using this network are in Finland, the largest of the 6 countries it serves, 2% of everyone online there.
- The same operator runs 5 other networks, listed below.

| Category | IPv4 share | IPv6 share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open proxy | 100% | 100% | |

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.
