AS23674 currently announces 43 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 143.1 thousand addresses (143,104 in all), registered in Pakistan. Services from NAYATEL-PK Nayatel Pvt Ltd are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS23674 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS23674. That means the other end sits on the NAYATEL-PK Nayatel Pvt Ltd network (Pakistan). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
