Summary
WIRUlink
isp residential mobile business
wirulink is the AS handle for WIRUlink Pty Ltd, a South African telecommunications provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business broadband services, supported by the operator's description as a licensed provider of fixed wireless and fibre internet.
- With 43,776 IPv4 addresses announced across 6 prefixes and 24 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for five of the six announced prefixes are listed as Wirulink Pty Ltd, while the largest block, 165.49.0.0/18, shows an unknown registrant.
- The address inventory consists of a mix of /18, /19, /21, /23, and /24 blocks, indicating a varied allocation history typical of a growing regional ISP.

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: 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.
