Summary
NapaNet
isp residential legacy
NAPANET is NapaNet Internet Services, a small independent internet provider in
Napa, California, serving the Napa Valley since the dial-up era.
What it's used for
- Subscriber access for homes and small businesses across the Napa Valley. The rDNS on its
206.81.96.0/21block names the access method directly:dialup-napanet-IP-ADDR.napanet.net,wifi-napanet-static-IP-ADDR.napanet.net(fixed wireless), andt1-napanet-static-IP-ADDR.napanet.net. - A modest amount of its own hosting and colocation —
web,dns1,netmonandcoloall resolve inside the same block.
Notable
- Only about 2,000 IPv4 addresses in two prefixes, plus one IPv6 /48. This is a genuinely small, locally owned ISP, not a hosting farm.
- An address here is most likely an end user in one Northern California county, which makes the whole AS unusually tightly geolocated.
Interesting
- The surviving
dialup-naming is a fossil: NapaNet started as a dial-up ISP and reinvented itself as a wireless provider, but the reverse-DNS naming scheme for the old pools was never retired.
