Summary
Evolink EAD
hosting transit legacy
EVOLINK-AS is the network of Evolink EAD, a Sofia-based Bulgarian telecommunications and data centre operator. It sells IP transit, managed MPLS VPNs across the Balkans, colocation in its own carrier-neutral Sofia facility, plus CDN and IaaS cloud services.
What it's used for
- Business connectivity, transit and hosting. All of the large announced blocks are Evolink's own RIPE allocations (
194.12.224.0/19,85.14.0.0/18,82.119.64.0/19,89.252.192.0/18), the oldest dating to 1996. - The prefix list is heavily deaggregated: dozens of /24s carved out of those allocations, which is the normal shape for a host that needs to steer or blackhole individual customer blocks.
Notable
- Very little reverse DNS on the customer space. What does resolve is infrastructure named under
lirex.net— the network's earlier Lirex.NET brand, which survives in router names long after the company became Evolink. The handle is current; the rDNS is the fossil. - This is a hosting and transit network, not an eyeball ISP: nothing in the space resolves to dynamic or DSL-style subscriber pools.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
