Summary
TheZone
cable dsl isp regional
THEZONE is operated by TheZone Ltd., a regional cable and DSL provider in Bulgaria.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
196-0.thezone.bgand199-255.thezone.bg. - The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix,
85.217.192.0/20, comprising 4096 addresses, while maintaining 37 observed routing neighbours; this ratio of a modest address block to a high neighbour count indicates a transit-heavy or peering-intensive role for a regional ISP.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is listed as
Neterra Ltd., which differs from the AS holderTHEZONE ZONATA - INVEST sLLC, suggesting the address space may have been acquired or leased from Neterra. - The inventory consists of a single contiguous /20 block with no announced IPv6 prefixes, representing a compact and focused address estate.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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 1,771 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.
