The number AS14249 was assigned to Internet Engine, S.A. de C.V. by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

What it means to see AS14249 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS14249. That means the other end sits on the Internet Engine, S.A. de C.V. network (Mexico). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
