isp residential business namibia

IWAY_AFRICA is operated by Africa Online (Africa) (Pty) Ltd.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business connectivity, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as walvisb-home1024-43-254.mweb.com.na and whk-37-3.mweb.com.na, alongside corporate domains like iwayafrica.net and africaonline.com.na.
  • The AS announces 18,432 IPv4 addresses across 10 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio that indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • Registrants largely align with the announcer, with most prefixes registered to Africa Online (Africa) (Pty) Ltd under the netname ORG-AOL3-AFRINIC, while one prefix is registered to AFRICA ONLINE ZIMBABWE under ORG-AOZ1-AFRINIC.
  • Africa Online Holding Ltd., abbreviated AFOL, is the largest Internet service provider in Africa, operating in ten countries including Namibia.
  • The inventory consists of 10 IPv4 prefixes with no IPv6 prefixes announced, showing a purely IPv4-based address estate.

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: 440 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
