AS35830: the BTTGROUP-AS network

AS35830 is an internet Autonomous System operated by BTTGROUP-AS (South Africa). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS35830?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS35830 was assigned to BTTGROUP-AS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS35830 currently announces 25 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 10 thousand addresses (9,984 in all), registered in South Africa. Services from BTTGROUP-AS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS35830 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS35830. That means the other end sits on the BTTGROUP-AS network (South Africa). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
