Summary
Openfactory
transit business swiss nsp
OPENFACTORY-AS is operated by Openfactory GmbH.
What it's used for
- The address space carries core routing infrastructure, with reverse DNS entries like
r3-core-ixn.ch.as58299.netandr1-core-sha.li.as58299.netindicating core routers in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. - The AS announces 3,584 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes and 22 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 1,870 observed neighbours; this high neighbour-to-address ratio signals a transit or network service provider role rather than a large access network.
- As a business-focused ISP and NSP, the traffic consists of corporate internet access, BGP peering, Layer 2 connectivity, and managed IT services for enterprise clients.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are consistently listed as Openfactory GmbH, matching the AS holder.
- Secondary sources indicate the company is currently in liquidation, which may impact the long-term stability of its network services.
- The inventory includes a mix of Swiss and international prefixes, such as
45.11.248.0/22and185.86.228.0/23, supporting its cross-border network operations.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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.
