An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique number that allows autonomous systems to exchange routing data with other connected systems.

AS numbers are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). The RIR then assigns ASNs to facilities in its area of operation.

How to Find the Right ASN

  • The first thing you need to do is to determine the geolocation for which you need a connection

  • After that, you enter the desired geo in the search query. For example: best internet provider Germany (DE)

  • We take any competent answer from the search results and see what providers are available in this geo.

  • Then use the search query and enter the desired provider. For example: "Vodafone DE ASN". Then the required ASN code will be displayed. In this case, it is "AS3209".

How to generate the required ASN correctly in MangoProxy

  • You need to go to the Generator tab of the portal.

  • Select type: ISP

  • Select the desired geo

  • Find the provider in the Detailed parameter. The search is performed in the format AS*****

  • We check if we have IP on our portal using "Check proxy", it is recommended to check it several times.

  • If "Check proxy" gives a positive result, generate a proxy.
