Switzerland · hosting / infrastructure · registered in Panama
Estimated users is a published estimate of how many people use this network, extrapolated from 20,836 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 3 different VPN brands, among them Windscribe, IVPN and Mullvad. That is characteristic of a provider that rents capacity to several VPN operators.
- Its space resolves to 9 countries, concentrated almost entirely in Switzerland (81% of the IPv4 space), so it is effectively a single-market network despite the spread.
- An estimated 45,493 people using this network are in Switzerland, the largest of the 2 countries it serves, 0.5% of everyone online there.

Organisations holding assignments here
Registered organisations account for 42% of this network's IPv4 space and 50% 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 ARIN and LACNIC do not publish theirs, so space held in North and South America is largely unattributed here.
| Organisation | IPv4 share | IPv6 share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Layer INC | 76% | - | |
| Internet Utilities Europe and Asia Limited | 7% | - | |
| AYOSOFT LTD | 2% | - | |

Anonymizer signals
Flagged space covers 100% of this network's IPv4 space and 100% of its IPv6 space. The table below divides that space.
| Category | IPv4 share | IPv6 share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Datacenter | 100% | 100% | |
| Open proxy | 67% | - | |
| VPN | 7% | <0.1% | |
| Not covered by any of these | - | - |
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 and <0.1% of its IPv6 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 | IPv6 share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windscribe | 60% | - | |
| IVPN | 27% | - | |
| Mullvad | 13% | - | |
| Not covered by any of these | - | - |
