What to fix

  1. Warning

    No IPv6 prefixes announced.

    Networks without IPv6 force their users through NAT64 or leave them unreachable from IPv6-only networks.

    Fix: Get an IPv6 allocation from your RIR (usually free with your IPv4 membership) and announce it.

    Open in ASN & BGP prefix lookup

  2. Warning

    2 of 2 announced prefixes have no ROA (RPKI not found): 192.83.209.0/24, 192.83.211.0/24.

    Without a ROA, networks cannot tell your routes from a hijack.

    Fix: Create a ROA for each at your RIR portal, with origin AS328163 and a max length equal to the prefix length:

    192.83.209.0/24 AS328163 max-length /24
192.83.211.0/24 AS328163 max-length /24

    Open in RPKI / ROA validator Guide

  3. Warning

    No abuse contact is published for AS328163.

    Other networks send reports of spam, attacks and hacked machines to the abuse contact. Without one, reports go nowhere and blocklists may list the whole range.

    Fix: Add an abuse contact to the registration: abuse-c in the RIPE database, an Abuse POC at ARIN, an abuse mailbox (IRT) at APNIC, AFRINIC or LACNIC.

    Open in WHOIS / RDAP lookup

  4. Warning

    PeeringDB did not answer: HTTP 404

    Fix: Try again in a minute.
