AS18214: the TELUS-INTERNATIONAL TELUS INTERNATIONAL network

AS18214 is an internet Autonomous System operated by TELUS-INTERNATIONAL TELUS INTERNATIONAL (the Philippines). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS18214?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS18214 was assigned to TELUS-INTERNATIONAL TELUS INTERNATIONAL by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS18214 currently announces 5 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 2.6 thousand addresses (2,560 in all), registered in the Philippines. Services from TELUS-INTERNATIONAL TELUS INTERNATIONAL are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS18214 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS18214. That means the other end sits on the TELUS-INTERNATIONAL TELUS INTERNATIONAL network (the Philippines). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
