Summary
Farice ehf
transit submarine telecom iceland
The AS handle FARICE-AS is held by Farice ehf.
What it's used for
- The address space carries international transit and submarine cable infrastructure, with netnames including
IS-FARICE-20110420,IS-FARICE-20160531,Operations, andProtonVPN-IS1. - The AS announces 3072 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix across 5 prefixes, while maintaining 128 observed neighbours; this high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit provider role rather than an access network.
- Traffic from this AS consists of international bandwidth and submarine cable capacity, as Farice operates the Farice-1, Danice, and IRIS cables connecting Iceland to Scotland, Denmark, and Ireland.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes are
AS56704-RIPE,Farice ehf, andFARICE OPS, which align with the announcer. - The address inventory is finely subdivided into four IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix, reflecting the segmented nature of its international connectivity estate.

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.
