isp residential legacy
MAXnet Systems Ltd. (MAXNET) — a regional Russian internet provider headquartered in Obninsk, Kaluga Oblast, serving the Obninsk and Kaluga areas.
What it's used for
- Consumer and small-business broadband in its two home cities. The rDNS splits cleanly by town and by role: carrier-grade-NAT subscriber pools named
NNN.NAT-pool.Kaluga.MAXnet.ruandNAT-pool.Obninsk.MAXnet.ru, plus static hosts under the regional zonesKaluga.netandObninsk.ru. - Those static names are a mix of individual subscribers (surname-style hosts) and local businesses — car dealers, service firms, a Wi-Fi hotspot operator — which is exactly what a small-city ISP's address space looks like.
Notable
- The large
NAT-poolblocks are the decisive signal. An operator only builds CGN pools when it has more household subscribers than IPv4 addresses; a business-only or transit network has no reason to. - Roughly 22,000 addresses across about 20 prefixes, all RIPE, all self- registered to MAXnet — a coherent regional inventory, not an assembled one.
Interesting
- The two brand zones outlive their origins:
Kaluga.netandObninsk.ruread like the names of separate local ISPs, and the network still labels its address space by them long after they were folded into MAXnet.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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.
