What it means to see AS25832 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS25832. That means the other end sits on the Cia. de Processamento de Dados do Estado da Bahia network (Brazil). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
