Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Freifunk Vechta
freifunk community ipv6 germany
The AS handle FFVEC is held by Freifunk Vechta.
What it's used for
- The space carries a single IPv6 prefix,
2001:678:3b8::/48, with no IPv4 addresses announced. - The network maintains 15 observed neighbours against a minimal address inventory of one IPv6 prefix, indicating a small-scale community or transit role rather than a large access network.
- As a Freifunk project, the traffic consists of volunteer-run community Wi-Fi access points providing free internet connectivity to residents and visitors in the Vechta region.
Notable
- The registry holder is listed as FFVEC Erick Hoffmann, aligning with the Freifunk Vechta identity found in secondary sources.
- The address inventory is extremely sparse, consisting solely of one /48 IPv6 block, which is typical for small community networks that rely on upstream transit for IPv4.

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 2026-11-04, 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: 453 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
