AS8376: the Jordan Data Communications network

AS8376 is an internet Autonomous System operated by Jordan Data Communications (JO). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS8376?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS8376 was assigned to Jordan Data Communications by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS8376 currently announces 56 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 223.2 thousand addresses (223,232 in all), registered in JO. Services from Jordan Data Communications are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS8376 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS8376. That means the other end sits on the Jordan Data Communications network (JO). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.

How to see every connection and network your devices reach

Tracing one connection's ASN at a time is tedious. Sentinela, by PC Monitor, maps the devices on your network, shows what is exposed to the internet and helps flag suspicious connections and devices — running on your Windows. Meet Sentinela.
