ASN lookup
Find out who announces an IP address or range. Search by AS number, by IPv4 or IPv6 address, or by network name: the answer comes from the public global routing table, refreshed daily.
ASN Directory: the largest networks
Every autonomous system that announces significant IPv4 space or sells infrastructure — 6,183 of them. Showing the 500 largest by announced address space.
Looking for a specific address?
The directory answers "who announces this range." To check whether a particular address is a Tor exit or sits in a published cloud range, look it up with the free lookup tool. Whether a visitor is on a VPN or proxy is a property of the live connection, not of the AS or the bare address, so that verdict needs a live visit checked with /v1/evaluate.
Questions
What is an ASN?
An autonomous system number (ASN) identifies a network that announces its own blocks of IP addresses to the internet's routing table: an internet provider, a mobile carrier, a hosting company, a university or a large company. The AS number and its registry name say who routes an address, not who is using it.
How do I find the ASN of an IP address?
Type the address into the lookup box above. The answer names the autonomous system that announces the range the address sits in, with its registry name and country and a link to the AS page and its announced ranges. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses both work.
Does an ASN tell you whether an address is a VPN or a proxy?
No. VPN services rent space from hosting companies and residential proxies run on home connections, so the same AS carries ordinary customers and anonymised traffic. Maskbreak keeps routing data out of its risk score: its VPN and proxy verdicts come from a live visit, not from the AS.
Where does the data come from?
From the public global routing table, refreshed daily. Names and countries are the networks' own registry records, so a company can appear under its network handle, such as AMAZON-02 for part of Amazon's space.
