Summary
optbit
transit nsp amateur us
OPTBIT is operated by optbit LLC, a small North American network service provider also known as northlandia networks.
What it's used for
- The address space carries a mix of general-purpose infrastructure and amateur radio services, evidenced by netnames
AMPRNET(Amateur Radio Digital Communications) andOPTBIT4-3(optbit LLC). - With 3,328 IPv4 addresses announced across 6 prefixes and only 3 observed neighbours, the low neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit or network service provider role rather than a large access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web/API endpoints and amateur radio digital communications infrastructure, consistent with optbit's business as a niche ISP and NSP.
Notable
- Registrants are mixed:
Amateur Radio Digital Communicationsholds the two largest /22 blocks,northlandia networksholds a /24, andoptbit LLCholds another /24, reflecting the operator's dual identity and specific service allocations. - The inventory includes 1 IPv6 prefix (
2602:fe26::/36) alongside the IPv4 space, with reverse DNS pointing tooptbit.net.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
