About Hetzner Online GmbH (AS24940)

AS24940 is Hetzner Online's ASN — a German hosting provider known for offering some of the best-value dedicated servers and cloud VMs in Europe. Hetzner operates data centres in Nuremberg, Falkenstein, and Helsinki. Their Cloud product (similar to DigitalOcean and Linode) has grown rapidly due to competitive pricing. Hetzner is a popular choice for developers and startups deploying European infrastructure.

What AS24940 Means for Your Privacy

Every time you visit a website, your IP address — and therefore your ISP (Hetzner Online GmbH) — is visible to that site. Hetzner Online GmbH as your ISP can see all unencrypted traffic passing through their network, including the domains you visit. This is standard practice for all ISPs and is typically used for network management, legal compliance, and in some cases targeted advertising.

If your device is assigned an IP in Hetzner Online GmbH’s ranges, websites you visit will identify your connection as coming from Hetzner Online GmbH. To prevent this, a VPN replaces your ISP-assigned IP with the VPN server’s IP, making your traffic appear to come from a different provider entirely.
