Unclassified APNIC
Summary
The IUSN Foundation
IUSN-AS-AP is The IUSN Foundation — the Internet Users Society of Niue — the non-profit that has provided internet service to the Pacific island nation of Niue since 1997. Niue has a population of around 1,700 people, and IUSN has been its internet presence for the better part of thirty years.
What it's used for
The island's internet access. The AS announces 5 IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,024 addresses and no IPv6 — and the five prefixes are really one: 202.59.4.0/22 plus each of its four constituent /24s announced separately, so the entire network is a single /22. Sampled reverse DNS sits under niue.nu: KANIU-202-59-6-5.niue.nu, KANIU-202-59-7-133.niue.nu (address-encoded labels of the sort used for end-user equipment) and open5.niue.nu / open133.niue.nu, whose "open" naming is consistent with the public-access side of the service.
Notable
An eyeball network, and about as small as one gets. 1 observed BGP neighbour means a single upstream and no peering — Niue reaches the rest of the internet through one link. A /22 for an entire country is an unusual thing to see in a routing table, and it is a fair proxy for the scale of the place.
Interesting
IUSN was funded by the .nu top-level domain, which IANA delegated to it in 1997. .nu means "now" in Swedish and Dutch and became a popular commercial TLD, and that revenue paid for internet service on Niue — which for years was marketed as the world's first free nationwide Wi-Fi country. Administration of .nu passed to Sweden's Internet Foundation in 2013; IUSN kept operating the network.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
