AS20756 NAMESHIELD
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Nameshield
business privacy hosting france
The AS handle NAMESHIELD is operated by Nameshield SAS.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure and privacy services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
noname.nameshield.net,noname-vm.nameshield.net, andsecondary1.perf1.dev. - The AS announces 5376 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes and 7 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 52 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space to high peering density indicates a business network with significant transit or peering requirements rather than a pure access provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing
NAMESHIELD-DBM,NAMESHIELD RIPE Contact, andNAMESHIELD SAS, though the prefix62.93.195.0/24is registered toeuNetworks GmbHunder the netnameDE-EUNETWORKS-20020318. - The address inventory is primarily French, with 13 announced blocks located in France, and includes a mix of /21, /22, /23, and /24 IPv4 prefixes alongside large IPv6 allocations under the
2a01:c8::/33range.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
