AS214669: the STARLIGHT-AS network

AS214669 is an internet Autonomous System operated by STARLIGHT-AS (Hong Kong). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS214669?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS214669 was assigned to STARLIGHT-AS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS214669 currently announces 12 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 3.6 thousand addresses (3,584 in all), registered in Hong Kong. Services from STARLIGHT-AS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS214669 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS214669. That means the other end sits on the STARLIGHT-AS network (Hong Kong). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
