Unclassified RIPE NSP
Summary
Web Squad Connect
transit ipv6 south-africa nsp
AS-WECOM is operated by Web Squad Connect (Pty) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space consists exclusively of three IPv6 prefixes:
2c0f:f030:2000::/36,2c0f:f030:4000::/35, and2c0f:f030:8000::/33. - With zero announced IPv4 prefixes and 36 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit or network service provider role rather than an access network.
- As a Network Service Provider (NSP) in South Africa, the traffic carried is primarily transit for downstream customers and inter-AS routing.
Notable
- The registry holder is Web Squad Connect (Pty) Ltd, which matches the AS handle
AS-WECOM. - The address inventory is entirely IPv6, with no IPv4 space announced or held in inventory.
- The AS was first seen in RIS on 2024-01-29.

Reputation
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: 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.
