Summary
VSE NET GmbH
isp enterprise legacy
SAARGATE-AS is VSE NET GmbH, a regional telecommunications carrier based in Saarbrücken serving the German state of Saarland. Founded in 1998, it is part of the German-Luxembourg artelis group.
What it's used for
VSE NET operates fibre, internet, voice and data-centre/cloud services, aimed primarily at business customers, carriers and municipal utilities (white-label products), with some private-broadband reach under the energis-highspeed brand. The announced blocks carry a mix of these uses.
Notable
Reverse DNS is consistently first-party under vsenet.de: generic assignments as NNN-NNN-NNN-NNN.ip-addr.vsenet.de and dial-in pools as ...dialin.vsenet.de. One announced block (193.141.183.0/24) resolves under ip-adr.saarland.de, reflecting hosting for the state administration.
Interesting
The network spans blocks from several address ranges (185.x, 93.186.x, 213.185.x, 176.126.x), consistent with a regional carrier that has accreted allocations over a long operating history.

Reputation
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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
