Summary
NetGuard
isp residential bulgaria nsp
NETGUARD is operated by NetGuard LLC, a Bulgarian internet service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business subscriber traffic, evidenced by netnames such as
BG-NETGUARD-20070209andNetguard_Plovdivassociated with registrantNETGUARD LLC. - The AS announces 22,272 IPv4 addresses across 22 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 58 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space to high peering density indicates a regional access provider purchasing transit and peering for local connectivity.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs and local business endpoints within Bulgaria, consistent with NetGuard's role as a national ISP.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are
NETGUARD LLC, aligning with the AS holder; however, the prefix85.130.72.0/22is registered toA1 Bulgaria EAD Abuseunder the netnameNetguard-LTD, suggesting a historical transfer or lease from the former A1 Bulgaria infrastructure. - The inventory is composed of a mix of /20, /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, with the largest allocations being
77.76.16.0/20and91.92.80.0/20.

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 1,773 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.
