AS29684: the NOURNET-ASN network

AS29684 is an internet Autonomous System operated by NOURNET-ASN (Saudi Arabia). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS29684?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS29684 was assigned to NOURNET-ASN by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS29684 currently announces 44 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 35.3 thousand addresses (35,328 in all), registered in Saudi Arabia. Services from NOURNET-ASN are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS29684 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS29684. That means the other end sits on the NOURNET-ASN network (Saudi Arabia). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
