What it means to see AS38249 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS38249. That means the other end sits on the KIS-AS-VN KIS Viet Nam Securities Corporations network (Vietnam). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
