AS34587: the HLM2-AS network

AS34587 is an internet Autonomous System operated by HLM2-AS (the United Kingdom). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS34587?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS34587 was assigned to HLM2-AS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS34587 currently announces 7 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 6.4 thousand addresses (6,400 in all), registered in the United Kingdom. Services from HLM2-AS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS34587 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS34587. That means the other end sits on the HLM2-AS network (the United Kingdom). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
