About China Mobile Communications (AS9808)

AS9808 is China Mobile's primary ASN — the world's largest mobile carrier by subscriber count with over 900 million customers. China Mobile's internet backbone (CMNet) is the third of China's three state-owned networks. AS9808 carries a massive volume of mobile data traffic and is one of the largest ASNs in the world by IP allocation.

What AS9808 Means for Your Privacy

Every time you visit a website, your IP address — and therefore your ISP (China Mobile Communications) — is visible to that site. China Mobile Communications 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 China Mobile Communications’s ranges, websites you visit will identify your connection as coming from China Mobile Communications. 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 AS9808

AS9808 is registered with APNIC — the Regional Internet Registry responsible for IP allocations in the Asia Pacific region. The ASN is used to announce IP prefixes to the global BGP routing table, allowing other networks to route traffic to China Mobile Communications’s infrastructure.

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