AS49242: the INTERNETUNION1 network

AS49242 is an internet Autonomous System operated by INTERNETUNION1 (Poland). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS49242?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS49242 was assigned to INTERNETUNION1 by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS49242 currently announces 6 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 15.6 thousand addresses (15,616 in all), registered in Poland. Services from INTERNETUNION1 are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS49242 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS49242. That means the other end sits on the INTERNETUNION1 network (Poland). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
