dns security business anycast
The AS handle DNSFILTER-AS-AP is held by DNSFilter, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries DNS security infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
DNSFILTER-APon three prefixes and the reverse DNS entries pointing toptr.anycast.netfor the45.54.28.0/24block. - The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes, with 4 observed neighbours, indicating a small, focused network rather than a transit or large access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of DNS queries and responses for DNSFilter's filtering service, which protects organizations from malware, phishing, and unwanted sites.

103.85.42.0/23,103.247.36.0/23, and45.253.131.0/24prefixes are listed as DNSFilter Inc administrator or DNSFilter, Inc., while the45.54.28.0/24prefix is registered to NetActuate, Inc. - The address inventory is small and subdivided, with three prefixes under the
DNSFILTER-APnetname and one underNETACTUATE-IPV4, suggesting a mix of owned and leased or partner space for their anycast DNS service.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
