AS680 announces 7,671,296 IPv4 addresses across 244 routed ranges, registered in DE. Figures come from the public global routing table and are refreshed daily.

Is AS680 datacenter space?

Not according to the nine cloud and CDN providers whose published range lists we track. That is a statement about those specific lists, not proof the space is residential — plenty of hosting companies never publish machine-readable ranges, and this AS may well be one of them.

The reliable way to classify a specific address is to check it directly rather than to infer from the AS. The free lookup tool returns live tunnel and datacenter signals for any address.

What an AS number does and does not tell you

An autonomous system number identifies who announces a block of addresses to the internet's routing table. It is an organisational fact, and a durable one — useful for attributing traffic to a hosting company, a carrier, or a university.

It is not a risk signal. A residential ISP's AS carries the household traffic of millions of ordinary customers and, at the same time, whatever residential proxy exits have been installed on those customers' devices. A hosting AS carries scrapers and legitimate server-to-server integrations in the same ranges. Scoring an address on the reputation of its AS produces exactly the false positives that make fraud tooling untrustworthy.

Check a specific address

The AS tells you who announces a range. Whether one address inside it is currently a tunnel is a live question, answered per address — for example 45.12.192.0, the first address in this AS's announced space. The free lookup tool takes any address, and the IP intelligence hub explains what each signal means.
