When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS9830. That means the other end sits on the SWIFTONLINE-AS-AP SWIFT ONLINE BORDER AS network (India). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
