Summary
Virtnet.bond
hosting vps developer community
VIRTNET is operated by Virtnet.bond, a community-based project offering low-cost Virtual Private Servers to developers and hobbyists.
What it's used for
- The space carries developer-oriented VPS infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
NOVA86-VIRTNETand the operator's self-description as a "Developer Centric Virtual Private Servers" provider. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses and 4 IPv6 prefixes, peering with 46 neighbours; this ratio of modest address space against a high neighbour count indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a large access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web/API endpoints, self-hosted Git services, and other developer workloads hosted on the provided VPS instances.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant
VIRTNET.BONDand netnameNOVA86-VIRTNETalign with the AS handleVIRTNETand the registry holder Joseph Rawlings trading as Virtnet.bond. - The address inventory consists of a single IPv4 /24 block and four IPv6 prefixes, including a large /40 block, reflecting a small but diverse allocation for a niche hosting provider.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 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.
