What it means to see AS11694 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS11694. That means the other end sits on the Universidad Simon Bolivar network (Venezuela). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
