AS7418: the TELEFONICA CHILE S.A. network

AS7418 is an internet Autonomous System operated by TELEFONICA CHILE S.A. (Chile). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS7418?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS7418 was assigned to TELEFONICA CHILE S.A. by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS7418 currently announces 72 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 2.4 million addresses (2,406,656 in all), registered in Chile. Services from TELEFONICA CHILE S.A. are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS7418 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS7418. That means the other end sits on the TELEFONICA CHILE S.A. network (Chile). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
