AS136959 is an internet Autonomous System operated by UNICOM-FUOSHAN-IDC China Unicom Guangdong IP network (China). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS136959?

The number AS136959 was assigned to UNICOM-FUOSHAN-IDC China Unicom Guangdong IP network by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

AS136959 currently announces 29 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 24.1 thousand addresses (24,064 in all), registered in China. Services from UNICOM-FUOSHAN-IDC China Unicom Guangdong IP network are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS136959 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS136959. That means the other end sits on the UNICOM-FUOSHAN-IDC China Unicom Guangdong IP network network (China). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
