Summary
Throttle Limited
vpn hosting uk
STEALTHVM is the AS handle for Throttle Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for StealthVM, a virtual machine and hosting service, as indicated by the AS handle and the operator's web presence.
- The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small-scale access or endpoint network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for the StealthVM platform, serving users accessing virtual machine instances and related services.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced prefixes are listed as "Network Operations; Throttle Limited", which aligns with the AS holder.
- The address inventory consists of two /24 blocks in the UK, with netnames
THROTTLE-NET1-NLandTHROTTLE-NET1-SE, suggesting segmented internal or regional allocation.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-26, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
On Spamhaus ASN-DROP Spamhaus lists this entire
network (associated domain stealthvm.net)
as controlled by, or hijacked for, cybercrime. Many operators null-route
everything it originates.
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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
