Frequently asked questions
What IP ranges does AWS use?
AWS controls a large and dynamic set of IP ranges including portions of 3.0.0.0/8, 18.0.0.0/8, 52.0.0.0/8, and 54.0.0.0/8. AWS publishes its authoritative IP list as a JSON file at ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json.
Why does an AWS IP appear in my VPN test?
An AWS IP as your VPN exit means your VPN provider runs its server on Amazon EC2 or another AWS service. Privacy-focused VPNs like Mullvad operate their own hardware on their own ASN to avoid this.
How do I find which AWS region an IP belongs to?
AWS provides its ip-ranges.json file with region data per prefix. MyIPScan WHOIS Lookup returns the registered organization and region code from the RDAP record.
How do I look up an AWS IP address?
Enter the IP in MyIPScan IP Geolocation Lookup. AWS IPs return AS16509 (Amazon.com Inc.) as the ASN with the registered country and city for that prefix.
What ASN does AWS use?
AWS primarily uses AS16509 for its commercial cloud services. The AS16509 page on MyIPScan covers the main Amazon Web Services network.
