Summary
Tarakona Networks
legacy
TN-ASN-CL is Tarakona Networks, LLC, whose ARIN record gives a suite number at Coffeen Avenue in Sheridan, Wyoming — a registered-agent mailbox address rather than a facility. The AS number is old; the holder is not.
What it's used for
- Almost nothing observable. AS7850 announces a single IPv4 prefix,
198.187.253.0/24, behind a single upstream (InterWorld Communications), with no downstream networks. - The /24 is a legacy block with a 1993 ARIN registration date, now re-registered to Tarakona. Its ARIN record carries the note that the addresses are non-portable.
- There is no reverse DNS anywhere in the /24, so there is no evidence of what, if anything, it carries.
Notable
- Treat the registrant address with suspicion when geolocating. A Sheridan, Wyoming suite number of this kind is a company-formation mailbox used by very large numbers of unrelated entities; it says nothing about where the network is. The block should not be geolocated to Wyoming on the strength of the whois record.
- The combination of an old AS number and old address space held by a recently-formed LLC at a mailbox, with a minimal footprint and no rDNS, is the shape of address holding rather than of an operating network. There is no honest kind to assign, so it is left unclassified.
Interesting
- The ASN's ARIN registration date of 1997 belongs to whoever first held the number, not to Tarakona, whose own organisation record dates from 2021. A low AS number is not evidence of an early-internet operator — numbers get transferred, and this is one of them.

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 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
