United Kingdom · AI-generated

hosting dedicated leased-space

TRUNKNETWORKS-AS is Trunk Networks LTD, a hosting network that carries several dedicated-server brands — most visibly Virtual Systems (vsys.host), Sollutium and Servers.guru — across a large collection of leased address blocks.

What it's used for

Dedicated-server hosting for multiple tenant brands. RIS observes 34 IPv4 prefixes totalling 12,032 addresses, plus two IPv6 blocks, 2a09:2dc2::/32 and 2a09:2dc3::/32.

Reverse DNS maps the tenants cleanly. Six prefixes answer as dedicated.vsys.host (176.97.116.0/22, 212.86.122.0/23, 91.239.77.0/24, 85.137.51.0/24, 85.137.60.0/24, 82.158.192.0/23); four answer as dedicated.sollutium.com (91.222.174.0/23, 213.111.157.0/24, 138.226.254.0/23, 176.97.120.0/23); and three carry *.servers.guru names (2.57.241.0/24, 31.207.4.0/24, 167.17.47.0/24).

Transit is genuine and well-connected for a network this size: upstreams are AS3223, AS3356 (Lumen), AS6461 (Zayo), AS6698 and AS6939 (Hurricane Electric), with one customer, AS211019. PeeringDB has a real record under Trunk Networks.

Notable

  • "Virtual Systems" and Trunk Networks are the same operation. Lookups on 194.42.196.0/22 return org ORG-VSL22-RIPE, "Virtual Systems LLC", netname US-VSYS, ASSIGNED PI — a different company name from the aut-num holder. The link is the contact: the admin-c on the aut-num (VS12351-RIPE) and on that inetnum (VS10657-RIPE) is the same person, Vyacheslav Smyrnov. The dedicated.vsys.host rDNS across six prefixes confirms it.
  • The AS number dates to 2007-06-20, which makes this the oldest network in the group of hosting ASNs it usually gets reported alongside.
  • Address space is assembled rather than allocated — RIPE PI space, GTT sub-allocations, re-registered legacy UK /24s and Lithuanian blocks, all under one origin AS.

Interesting

  • 93.152.97.0/24 looks like UK consumer broadband and is not. It answers with .ashgoal.managedbroadband.co.uk and .brightvisions.managedbroadband.co.uk, but the inetnum is LT-CODE200-20080305-GTT — a Code200 UAB sub-allocation under GTT's AS3257 IPAM, registered in Singapore. The domain managedbroadband.co.uk itself resolves into AS397477 (WGIX, US) and serves nothing. This is broadband-styled PTR naming on leased datacenter space. 84.37.44.0/23 carries the same Code200 netname.
  • The 82.23.x blocks look like eyeball space and are not. They sit inside 82.23.0.0/16, historically UK consumer broadband, but each is re-registered today as netname NET-82-23-xx-0-24, "Private Customer" via netutils-mnt, country SG or LT, with no reverse DNS. The history is stale; the assignments are leased blocks.
  • Not in Spamhaus ASN-DROP, and no prefix in Spamhaus DROP — unusual for a multi-brand leased-space network of this size.

Classification and threat

Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.

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 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
