Summary
Willem van Gulik
legacy
VAN_GULIK is a personal / hobbyist network run by Willem van Gulik, based around Geneva, Switzerland, as a small experimental BGP research project.
What it's used for
- An individual's own network for exploring internet routing and the default- free zone.
Notable
- Not a commercial ISP or host. The low AS number was reissued to a modern personal holder (registered around 2015), so it carries no early-internet pedigree.

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: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
