The number AS132165 was assigned to CONNECT-AS-AP Connect Communications by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

AS132165 currently announces 30 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 36.4 thousand addresses (36,352 in all), registered in Pakistan. Services from CONNECT-AS-AP Connect Communications are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS132165 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS132165. That means the other end sits on the CONNECT-AS-AP Connect Communications network (Pakistan). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
