AS18390: the SPINTEL-AS-AP Spintel Pty Ltd network

AS18390 is an internet Autonomous System operated by SPINTEL-AS-AP Spintel Pty Ltd (Australia). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS18390?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS18390 was assigned to SPINTEL-AS-AP Spintel Pty Ltd by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS18390 currently announces 14 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 51.5 thousand addresses (51,456 in all), registered in Australia. Services from SPINTEL-AS-AP Spintel Pty Ltd are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS18390 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS18390. That means the other end sits on the SPINTEL-AS-AP Spintel Pty Ltd network (Australia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
