About Google LLC (AS15169)

AS15169 is the primary Autonomous System used by Google LLC for its global network infrastructure. It announces IP prefixes for Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Google Cloud Platform, and Google's public DNS service (8.8.8.8). Google operates one of the largest private backbone networks in the world, with Points of Presence in over 200 countries. Traffic from AS15169 IPs is seen on virtually every internet-connected device daily.

What AS15169 Means for Your Privacy

Every time you visit a website, your IP address — and therefore your ISP (Google LLC) — is visible to that site. Google LLC as your ISP can see all unencrypted traffic passing through their network, including the domains you visit. This is standard practice for all ISPs and is typically used for network management, legal compliance, and in some cases targeted advertising.

If your device is assigned an IP in Google LLC’s ranges, websites you visit will identify your connection as coming from Google LLC. To prevent this, a VPN replaces your ISP-assigned IP with the VPN server’s IP, making your traffic appear to come from a different provider entirely.

Technical Notes for AS15169

AS15169 is registered with ARIN — the Regional Internet Registry responsible for IP allocations in North America. The ASN is used to announce IP prefixes to the global BGP routing table, allowing other networks to route traffic to Google LLC’s infrastructure.

Google LLC peers with major transit providers and internet exchanges to ensure global reachability. BGP peering relationships determine how traffic flows between Google LLC and the rest of the internet.
