M247's Romanian AS. Rebranded by dozens of commercial VPN resellers including historical ExpressVPN, PureVPN, and CyberGhost deployments.
How IPLogs classifies AS9009
When the detection engine sees an IP that routes through AS9009, it checks three lists: (1) the curated VPN-provider ASN list, (2) the datacenter / hosting ASN list, and (3) the trusted CDN allowlist. Matches produce one of vpn_asn, dc_ip, or no flag respectively. Keywords in the org name (e.g. "vpn", "proxy", "anonym") may also trigger vpn_org_keyword even for unknown ASNs.
Use the ASN as a shortcut when you want to block a whole hosting provider at the edge rather than maintaining a per-IP list.
