Summary
FriendFinder Networks
business dating content corporate
The AS handle VARIOUS is held by FriendFinder Networks Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure for an online dating platform, as indicated by the registrant name and the netname
VARIOUSacross all prefixes. - The AS announces 5632 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 33 observed neighbours. This ratio of moderate address space against a significant number of peering partners suggests a business network with substantial connectivity requirements rather than a pure transit provider or small access network.
Notable
- All RDAP registrants for the announced prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing
FriendFinder Networks Incas the registrant for every block. - The operator is also known as Various, Inc., which operates the FriendFinder online dating service.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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.
