What is AS9179?
An Autonomous System (ASN) is a block of networks under a single control with its own routing policy on the internet. The number AS9179 was assigned to FIDO-ANYCAST by an RIR (regional internet registry). All traffic entering or leaving that network is announced under this number.
Reach on the internet
AS9179 currently announces 1 IPv4 block(s), totaling 256 addresses (256 in all), registered in the United Kingdom. Services from FIDO-ANYCAST are reached through these addresses.
What it means to see AS9179 on your network
When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS9179. That means the other end sits on the FIDO-ANYCAST network (the United Kingdom). 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.
