Network type: hosting

AS9009 announces 2,656 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,590,272 addresses and 253 IPv6 prefixes.

About this network

An Autonomous System of M247, a Manchester-headquartered hosting and network provider (this entity is its Romania-based operation). Addresses here carry M247 hosting, colocation, transit, and a large amount of commercial VPN exit traffic.

What it's used for

• Dedicated servers, VPS, colocation, and IP transit across many global locations; also widely used as VPN infrastructure.

Notable

• One of the most commonly-seen commercial-VPN egress networks. An IP here identifies M247 as the host, not the tenant — a large share of this space is rented to VPN providers, so a hit on this ASN is very often a VPN exit rather than a server or a real end user.
• Long used as infrastructure for major consumer VPNs (e.g. NordVPN, HideMyAss) as well as smaller ones, which is why it turns up so frequently in IP lookups.
• M247 runs multiple ASNs — see sibling AS9316.

Interesting

• M247 leases IP space and servers to many downstream VPN and hosting brands, so the geolocation of an M247 IP usually reflects the chosen exit city, not where the user actually is.
