Found my old IP block from 2019 on a liquidation forum! AS2049xx that I used with Hetzner back in the day, some reseller is selling /24s for €800 each. Insane value! I remember that block because my Ampere ARM box on it ran circles around the x86 junk at the same price. Used it for my personal CDN, got ping times under 12ms to most of Europe. Anyone else track their old IPs? Wondering if the reputation is still clean or if the new owner gets our blacklist history too.

Guys this is actually a good lead, any idea what panel they used? Recieved some offers on IP blocks but their reputation makes or breaks the margin. If it was Hetzner in 2019 probably Solus or Virtualizor, both fine for resale. Any leads on who got the routing gear? 🙏

Block's physical location probably same facility, just new ASN holder. Reputation data is tied to ASN history in most RBLs, so new owner inherits the good and bad — https://bgp.he.net

Gg wp dude I had a minecraft box on that same range back in 2019, valheim lag was brutal but that was my fault for cheaping out on the plan lol. Wonder if my old server IP is in that /24, had some good builds on there. Lag for me back then was like 200ms to US though, maybe routing was worse for gamers. Hope the new owner doesnt get blacklisted from my old server lists, used to run a pretty popular mc server.

AS2049xx for $800? That seems low for a clean /24 block.
Had the same ampere box, thing was a beast
