Summary
Fiber Optical Network LLC
hosting legacy
FONL-6282 — Fiber Optical Network LLC, a company registered at a Middletown, Delaware suite address. Despite the US registration, the network it announces is almost entirely European address space.
What it's used for
- Announces roughly two dozen small prefixes (mostly
/22–/24) registered in the RIPE region, under a mix of unrelated third-party organisation names. - That shape — scattered small blocks belonging to several different holders, routed by one ASN with no visible reverse DNS — is characteristic of IP address leasing rather than an operator serving its own customers.
Notable
- The stated business name suggests a fibre network operator, but the routing table does not show one: there is no coherent regional footprint and no subscriber-style naming in the announced space. Treat any classification of this network with caution.
- The low AS number is not early-internet pedigree — both the ARIN organisation and the ASN registration date from 2020/2021, so the number was reclaimed and reissued.

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.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

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.
