What it means to see AS20895 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS20895. That means the other end sits on the UGTEL Granting of services Intelligent Network network (Russia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
