What it means to see AS131644 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS131644. That means the other end sits on the TWNIC-AS Taiwan Network Information Center network (Taiwan). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
