mobile residential business telecom

VFAU-NET-AS is the public autonomous system for Vodafone Australia Pty Limited.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries mobile and fixed-line customer traffic, evidenced by netnames such as Vodafone-VIC-TE-NAT8 and Vodafone-NSW-SD-NAT8 which indicate state-specific network segments.
  • The AS announces 8704 IPv4 addresses and 6 IPv6 prefixes against a single observed neighbour, a ratio characteristic of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • Registrants for all announced prefixes align with the announcer, listing Vodafone Australia Pty Ltd and Vodafone IP Administrators under the IRT-VODAFONE-AU contact.
  • The inventory consists of three IPv4 prefixes, with the largest being a /19 block, alongside six /48 IPv6 prefixes, reflecting a standard mobile operator address allocation.

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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
