AS8468: the ENTANET ENTANET International Limited network

AS8468 is an internet Autonomous System operated by ENTANET ENTANET International Limited (the United Kingdom). Here is what that means and why this number may show up when you investigate a connection on your network.

What is AS8468?

An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS8468 was assigned to ENTANET ENTANET International Limited by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.

Reach on the internet

AS8468 currently announces 36 IPv4 block(s), totaling about 358.4 thousand addresses (358,400 in all), registered in the United Kingdom. Services from ENTANET ENTANET International Limited are reached through these addresses.

What it means to see AS8468 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS8468. That means the other end sits on the ENTANET ENTANET International Limited network (the United Kingdom). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
