What it means to see AS28371 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS28371. That means the other end sits on the Gobierno del Estado de Guanajuato network (Mexico). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
