What it means to see AS140577 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS140577. That means the other end sits on the AHREFS-AS-AP Ahrefs Pte Ltd network (Singapore). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
