AS7465: the PROCERGS - Cia de Processamento de Dados do RGS network

AS7465 is an internet Autonomous System operated by PROCERGS - Cia de Processamento de Dados do RGS (Brazil). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS7465?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS7465 was assigned to PROCERGS - Cia de Processamento de Dados do RGS by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS7465 currently announces 12 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 23.3 thousand addresses (23,296 in all), registered in Brazil. Services from PROCERGS - Cia de Processamento de Dados do RGS are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS7465 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS7465. That means the other end sits on the PROCERGS - Cia de Processamento de Dados do RGS network (Brazil). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
