Summary
Strong Technology, LLC (StrongVPN / NetProtect)
vpn privacy
A second network of Strong Technology, LLC (NETPROTECT-DP), the US entity behind StrongVPN under the NetProtect group of consumer VPN brands.
What it's used for
- VPN egress for StrongVPN and related NetProtect VPN subscribers. This AS carries the bulk of the operation's routed space across many global prefixes.
Notable
- An IP here is a VPN exit, not an end user's own address. The real user sits behind it, and many users share each exit IP, so addresses here commonly appear on VPN/proxy detection lists.
Interesting
- Companion to sibling AS54203, the other Strong Technology / NetProtect ASN.

Classification and threat
VPN Commercial VPN operator. Traffic is proxied on behalf of subscribers.
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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
