Summary
Shadow
cloud gaming france blade
The AS handle BLADE is held by Shadow SAS.
What it's used for
- The address space carries cloud computing and cloud gaming infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
255-net-85-190-89.shadow.guruand netnames likeFR-BLADE-20050712. - With 9,472 IPv4 addresses announced across 14 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, the network functions as a dedicated service endpoint rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of user sessions for the Shadow cloud PC service, where users stream a full Windows environment from remote data centers to their local devices.
Notable
- Registrants consistently identify as
Blade NOCandShadow SAS, aligning with the AS holder. - Shadow SAS was acquired by Octave Klaba, the founder of OVHcloud, in 2021.
- The inventory includes a mix of /21, /22, /23, and /24 prefixes, with some blocks originating from different upstream allocations as indicated by netnames like
FRDUN02-CUST-FRandDEFRA01-CUST-DE.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
