AS23657 is an internet Autonomous System operated by BLUESKY-AS-AP Blue Sky Communications (AS). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

The number AS23657 was assigned to BLUESKY-AS-AP Blue Sky Communications by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS23657 currently announces 5 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 10.5 thousand addresses (10,496 in all), registered in AS. Services from BLUESKY-AS-AP Blue Sky Communications are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS23657 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS23657. That means the other end sits on the BLUESKY-AS-AP Blue Sky Communications network (AS). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
