AS202656: the XSERVERCLOUD network

AS202656 is an internet Autonomous System operated by XSERVERCLOUD (Ukraine). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS202656?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS202656 was assigned to XSERVERCLOUD by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS202656 currently announces 415 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 193.3 thousand addresses (193,280 in all), registered in Ukraine. Services from XSERVERCLOUD are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS202656 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS202656. That means the other end sits on the XSERVERCLOUD network (Ukraine). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.

How to see every connection and network your devices reach

Tracing one connection's ASN at a time is tedious. Sentinela, by PC Monitor, maps the devices on your network, shows what is exposed to the internet and helps flag suspicious connections and devices — running on your Windows. Meet Sentinela.
