Summary
Prox System Design Inc.
hosting legacy
PROX is Prox System Design Inc., a hosting company in Taito-ku, Tokyo. It sells dedicated servers, VPS, colocation and domain registration, and brands its network services IXENT.
What it's used for
- Two prefixes,
210.143.96.0/20and210.166.208.0/20— about 8,200 addresses. No IPv6 is announced. - Reverse DNS is sparse, which is itself typical of server space: what resolves is infrastructure such as
gwNNN.ixent.ne.jp, and the company's public services live onprox.ne.jpandixent.ne.jp. There are no subscriber pools of any kind. - Customer machines are the bulk of the space: rented dedicated servers and virtual private servers, plus co-located customer hardware in a Tokyo facility.
Notable
- A hosting network, small and single-purpose. Two contiguous
/20s with no access addressing is the clean signature of a server business rather than an ISP, and the address space should be treated as datacentre space for geolocation and abuse purposes.
Interesting
IXENTis the company's own coinage for its network side rather than any reference to an internet exchange — a handle that invites exactly the wrong reading. The company itself buys upstream transit and does not operate a peering fabric.
