AS1299 is Telia Carrier's Tier-1 internet backbone — the largest ISP in the Nordic countries and one of the most connected ASNs in Europe. Telia Carrier operates an extensive submarine cable network connecting Europe, North America, and Asia. AS1299 is commonly seen as a BGP peer or transit hop in almost every European network's routing table.
Every time you visit a website, your IP address — and therefore your ISP (Telia Company AB) — is visible to that site. Telia Company AB 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 Telia Company AB’s ranges, websites you visit will identify your connection as coming from Telia Company AB. 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.
AS1299 is registered with RIPE — the Regional Internet Registry responsible for IP allocations in Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The ASN is used to announce IP prefixes to the global BGP routing table, allowing other networks to route traffic to Telia Company AB’s infrastructure.
Telia Company AB peers with major transit providers and internet exchanges to ensure global reachability. BGP peering relationships determine how traffic flows between Telia Company AB and the rest of the internet.
