You're looking at peers, not uplinks. Our peering with Aeza is through IX route servers lol. And since when did peering with AS12389, AS31133, and AS3216 become a crime? Are russian home isp considered "high-risk pipelines" now?
Any reason you're providing transit in Moscow?
What's your relation with a Paraguayan company "M-TELECOM S. de R.L."?
Why is "DePowered Limited" doing free advertising for M-TELECOM? Why is their WHOIS in Spanish?
Transfer history:
Artem Aliaksandravich Lomakin (my residence of belarus) => MTK Global Ltd (my uk company) => M-TELECOM S. de R.L. (company in honduras, tax optimization purposes) => DePowered Limited (pureservers and m-telecom sold to DePowered Limited)
And you're asking why anyone is hating on you since everything you do is shady?
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Technically, both m-telecom.org and pureservers.org were sold to DePowered Limited, and in effect both brands now belong to them. It is more likely that they decided not to change the comments in the AS object in RIPE following the transfer.
lmao
It is very difficult to run a business in Russia at present with a Russian passport without having local nominal directors; most of these optimisation measures are aimed at simply enabling businesses to operate.
Stop doing shady business and people won't attack you. That was my point.
You get offended and call someone a russophobe for calling out your shady shit. You're just as pathetic as op.
Hello @datapasa sir, please reply me. I m in you're server.
Drama over nothing tbh, unless I don't know something about previous operation
I realise it sounds strange, but at the time I was living in Belarus; although the local acquiring network supported Visa and MasterCard, European banks were blocking any transactions. Having a UK company gave me more options, but without a nominee director or a fee of 5k EUR, it’s impossible to open a bank account in Europe or the UK with Russian citizenship, so the jurisdiction was changed to an even stranger one, but one that was nonetheless accessible.
However, I have now resolved most of my residency issues by moving to a country not subject to sanctions, although I still face many restrictions linked to my passport.
That’s a good bit of ragebait, but I was simply asked to answer some questions and I did so. Some people criticise me for a lack of transparency without understanding the context.
C-tier drama. Perhaps @datapasa can do something shady so we can get B-tier drama
Or bgp shenanigans
Belarus, United Kuckdom, Honduras, Hong Kong?
It's strange forsure, but I don't think it deserves this much drama to be honest. It's classic legal sanction evasion through the UK as they seem to not give a fuck lol.
Still, Belarus, Russia, Paraguay, Honduras, United Kingdom is quite a lot...
NETSHIELD is just the easy way to get transit. They don't even have a front page (as far as I'm aware) and yet they've got quite a handful of customers (most of them, if not all, from Russia as well, using shield UK companies) and /24s, providing transit in Moscow, Frankfurt & Helsinki directly or via tunnels.
have to clarify once again that I have nothing against Russians. But your modus operandi is very well known at this point. This doesn't mean you're a bp host, but as most bp hosts do things similarly, you can't distinguish one another easily.
aurologic for example clearly knows who they're affiliating with, but it's legal, so they just don't care.
I’m working on improving the hosting service’s transparency and reputation.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything to do with Hong Kong, but generally speaking, yes
DePowered Limited seems to be Hong Kong based thats all.
Indeed forgotten about the AS' remark. But anyways, M-Telecom is our brand now, so free ad for ourself.
Furthermore, m-telecom.org is shut since was sold.
As far as I know, M-TELECOM S. de R.L. was a HN company, not HK.
DataPasa ≠ DePowered.
@datapasa If pointing out a high risk multi jurisdictional infrastructure layout is "AI slop" to you, then reality must be tough to swallow. You keep explaining why your corporate footprint looks like a textbook bulletproof hosting shell, completely failing to realize that you are just confirming the security risks for any legitimate buyer.
Your own literal explanation for your corporate trail is: Belarus (Residence) ➔ MTK Global Ltd (UK) ➔ M-TELECOM S. de R.L. (Honduras "tax optimization") ➔ DePowered Limited (Hong Kong). As @alincupunct perfectly pointed out to you: "Stop doing shady business and people won't attack you. You get offended and call someone a russophobe for calling out your shady shit." Scattering assets across five conflicting borders to bypass international banking blocks and sanctions is the absolute definition of corporate obfuscation.
This brings us to the core structural problem that @zGato accurately highlighted. It is practically impossible to distinguish between a classic bulletproof hosting network and a sanction evasion pipeline. Both models share the exact same technical architecture and operational playbook. They both rely on multi jurisdictional identity splitting to evade legal accountability, anonymized financial routes through global tax havens, and private GRE tunnels to backhaul traffic to hidden locations. Whether the goal is protecting an illicit operation or bypassing international financial sanctions, the infrastructure fingerprint is completely identical.
Also, claiming that DePowered "simply decided not to change the comments in the AS object in RIPE" following a corporate acquisition is pure amateur hour. In professional network operations, maintaining accurate, cryptographic WHOIS/RIPE records is mandatory for basic BGP route filtering and anti spoofing validation. Leaving old corporate shells in the RIPE object isn't "forgetfulness", it is standard operating procedure when you want to keep the true owner of the routing assets as muddy as possible.
@uk_netshield Nice attempt to hide behind the IXP Route Server excuse and look how you conveniently listed Rostelecom, MegaFon, and Vimpelcom while completely dodging DDoS-Guard (AS49612). Even if these sessions are established via public route servers, any competent network operator knows you can use standard BGP communities to filter out or reject announcements from high risk networks. You choose to actively participate in bidirectional route exchange with Aeza and DDoS-Guard. Trying to lump your entire peering profile together as just innocent consumer ISPs is pure gaslighting.
No one said running a network like this is a statutory "crime" under German local law. As @zGato noted, your modus operandi is well known. The point is operational stability. When your network relies on a single homed path through an upstream using UK shield fronts that has literally had its bank accounts frozen by the UK sanctions regime, you are a walking, talking compliance and uptime liability.
You guys can keep throwing insults, but every time you reply, you just type out more official confirmation for my initial breakdown.
Does anyone remember @MarkTurner from Deli who?
@darkmaster can you please take a look? What happened to Yomura corporation?
If person is avoiding sanctions, then it is a matter of time when institutions will hunt down person/Ltd and close it. OP I guess tried to warn community about this and be vigilant.
Thank you, I guess.
I don't think it's personal in this case, looks very small scale operation
Hm, so why the fuss? Aeza is dampened, c&c and malware network dismantled.
You keep sending me AI-slop instead of simply reading my messages and realizing that there is currently no lack of transparency. Having a non-UK resident as the company’s director is standard international practice.
At the moment, I have a completely transparent structure. The UK director of the company is a resident of Paraguay. I cannot be held responsible for the actions or activities of my upline, nor for those of its peering partners.
@datapasa i start smol scan.
