Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Vision Net Ltd
isp hosting business
Five addresses in three different blocks all answer with one hostname, and every block shares a single netname.
What it's used for
- A regional provider's network. 13,312 addresses across six IPv4 prefixes, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced. First seen in 2000.
Notable
- All six blocks come from
207.170, and every one carries the netnameMULTIVERSE-CIDR, registered toMicro Advantage, Inc. - Nine of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name. Five of them, spread across three separate blocks, all answer
open.visn.net. - The rest are
mail.industrialsurface.comand three of the form207-170-188-128.hostingfrsh.com. - The AS handle is
MICROADVANTAGE-INC, the registrant isMicro Advantage, Inc, and the AS name isVision Net Ltd.
Interesting
- One hostname on five addresses in three blocks is a catch-all reverse record covering wide swathes of the estate. The label
openreads like a description of what those addresses are: unassigned, available, not yet anybody's. - Three names for one organisation is a company that changed identity twice without changing its paperwork. The registry keeps the oldest name, the AS record keeps the newest, and the handle keeps the one in between.
- A single netname across every block is the opposite of the usual pattern, where each allocation gets its own label. This operator filed everything under one heading and never revisited it.
- A customer's mail server and a hosting brand answering from the same estate show a provider selling connectivity and servers out of one pool of addresses.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-30, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 1,848 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
