Summary
VERIXI SA
enterprise isp legacy
VERIXI is VERIXI SA, a Belgian business-focused telecom operator based in Mont-Saint-Guibert (Walloon Brabant), selling connectivity to companies and carriers rather than to households.
What it's used for
- Business internet access and transport — fibre, VDSL, coax, leased lines, Ethernet, MPLS and SD-WAN — plus IP transit, cloud and data-centre services.
- Announces roughly 83,000 IPv4 addresses across several dozen mostly small prefixes, with IPv6 alongside. Customer reverse DNS resolves under
verixi.net, tagged by access type and site (for example…fiber.bra…for a Brussels fibre delivery).
Notable
- The prefix list is fragmented — many
/24s from unrelated RIPE ranges — which is typical of a mid-sized LIR that has accumulated address space over time rather than an operator sitting on one large contiguous allocation. - Peering is regionally focused: Belgian and French exchanges (BNIX and Belgium-IX in Brussels, exchanges in Paris) rather than a global peering footprint.
Interesting
- The AS number is older than the brand. VERIXI as a company dates from around 2009, while the RIPE registration on AS6696 predates it — the number was carried forward, so its low value says nothing about the age of the business currently behind it.

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: 442 networks and 1,773 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.
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.
