AS11845: the Vox-Telecom network

AS11845 is an internet Autonomous System operated by Vox-Telecom (South Africa). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS11845?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS11845 was assigned to Vox-Telecom by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS11845 currently announces 63 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 247.8 thousand addresses (247,808 in all), registered in South Africa. Services from Vox-Telecom are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS11845 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS11845. That means the other end sits on the Vox-Telecom network (South Africa). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
