Our Network

Unredacted Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds Internet infrastructure and services to help people access the open Internet and protect their right to privacy. We maintain an open peering policy and welcome interconnection with networks that share our interest in a healthy, well-connected Internet.

General policy

Our peering policy is open. We are happy to peer with any network operating in good faith, regardless of size, traffic volume, or ratio. There is no contract requirement and no minimum traffic threshold.

We peer over route servers at Internet Exchange Points where we are present, and we are also open to establishing bilateral (direct) BGP sessions where it is mutually beneficial.

Requirements

We ask that prospective peers meet the following baseline criteria:

• Operate a publicly routable ASN and maintain accurate PeeringDB records.
• Maintain up-to-date IRR route objects (RPSL) for all announced prefixes.
• Announce only prefixes they are authorized to originate or transit.
• Have a reachable NOC contact for operational issues.
• Do not point a default route or send traffic not destined for our announced prefixes across the peering session.

Route server peering

At exchanges where we have a presence, we peer with the available route servers. If your network is also present at one of those exchanges, we may already be exchanging routes - no action required on your part. You can confirm mutual IX presence on our PeeringDB pages linked below.

Bilateral peering

We are open to establishing direct bilateral BGP sessions when doing so is deemed mutually beneficial - for example, when both networks share presence at an exchange and direct sessions would improve convergence time or enable more specific traffic engineering. To request a bilateral session, contact us at the address below.
