Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Westnetz w.V.
isp residential germany nonprofit
WESTNETZ is operated by Westnetz w.V., a non-profit public internet service provider based in Leipzig, Germany.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business subscriber traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
ip-185-142-180-255.westnetz.organd the netnameDE-WESTNETZ-PLAGWITZ. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small access network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs and local business endpoints served by the Leipzig-based ISP.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is Westnetz w.V., which matches the AS holder.
- The address inventory is compact, consisting of a single /23 block and a /32 IPv6 prefix, consistent with a regional access provider.

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: 442 networks and 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
