Summary
Voronezh State University
education university legacy
VSU is the campus network of Voronezh State University (Воронежский государственный университет), a large public university in Voronezh, Russia.
What it's used for
- Campus networking for the university: faculties, laboratories, student services and administrative systems. Reverse DNS on the announced space resolves into
vsu.ru, including campus router names such asc2r1-ve2.vsu.ru.
Notable
- Institutional address space, not consumer or commercial: a single IPv4 /21 (about 2,000 addresses) plus an IPv6 /48 obtained through the Russian academic networking community.
- Its addresses are university-owned, so they geolocate to the campus rather than to a residential or hosting footprint.
- The AS is single-homed, which is typical for a regional campus reached through one academic upstream.

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 1,783 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.
