AS35994 is the autonomous system number (ASN) announced by Akamai Technologies, Inc. It announces 365 prefixes, 92,928 IPv4 addresses in total. Every address inside those ranges is routed by this operator, which is what makes the number the shortest answer to who runs a given address.
0 of its 277 IPv4 ranges are on VPN lists and 277 on datacenter lists.
| Organisation | Akamai Technologies, Inc. |
|---|---|
| Autonomous system | AS35994 |
| Network type | Hosting and cloud |
| IPv4 prefixes | 277 |
| IPv6 prefixes | 88 |
| IPv4 addresses | 92,928Summed across every announced prefix. IPv6 is not counted; the numbers are meaningless at that scale. |
| In known VPN ranges | 0 of 277 prefixes |
| In known datacenter ranges | 277 of 277 prefixes |
The last two rows are a second opinion, counted against the X4BNet VPN and datacenter range lists rather than read off the operator name. A network with most of its prefixes in the VPN list is carrying anonymised traffic whatever it calls itself.
The largest ranges Akamai Technologies, Inc. announces, biggest first. These are a sample and not the full routing table: 365 prefixes do not fit on a page, and the ones worth showing are the ones most traffic comes from.

Live check
The field is prefilled with 23.60.88.1, the first address of the largest range above. Change it for one from your own logs and you get the network, the operator and the verdict for that specific address.
Addresses on Akamai Technologies, Inc. are infrastructure: servers, containers and managed services, not people at home. Our engine classifies them datacenter or hosting and never as VPN, because renting a machine is not running a VPN service. It does set anonymized, since a person browsing from a rented server is usually behind a self-hosted VPN, unless the address is known infrastructure such as a public resolver. That distinction matters for what you do next. A signup from here is worth a second look because automation lives on networks like this one, but blocking the range outright also blocks every monitoring service, payment webhook and corporate proxy that runs on it.
The verdict for a single address is never settled by the ASN alone. It is the starting point, and IP Detection adds range membership, behaviour and history on top of it before it answers.
One call returns the ASN, the operator and the network type (hosting, VPN, mobile, ISP) for any address. 7 days of Starter, then a free plan, no card.
