Summary
3xK Tech GmbH
proxy hosting
A secondary Autonomous System of 3xK Tech GmbH, a German hosting provider whose address space is resold and used as proxy egress by third-party proxy services.
What it's used for
- Datacenter hosting whose IPs are commonly used as commercial proxy exits.
Notable
- An IP here identifies 3xK Tech as the host, not the tenant — the space serves as proxy egress, so an IP is typically a shared proxy exit rather than an end user's real address, and the network is flagged on VPN/proxy detection lists.
Interesting
- 3xK's primary Autonomous System is sibling AS200373.

Classification and threat
VPN Commercial VPN operator. Traffic is proxied on behalf of subscribers.
Spamhaus DROP
On Spamhaus ASN-DROP Spamhaus lists this entire
network (associated domain plainproxies.com)
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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
