What it means to see AS263151 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS263151. That means the other end sits on the CONECT TELECOM network (Brazil). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
