About Akamai International B.V.
Akamai's global anycast edge ASN (distinct from AS63949). Widely deployed for HTTPS delivery.
How IPLogs classifies AS20940
When the detection engine sees an IP that routes through AS20940, it checks three lists: (1) the curated VPN-provider ASN list, (2) the datacenter / hosting ASN list, and (3) the trusted CDN allowlist. Matches produce one of vpn_asn, dc_ip, or no flag respectively. Keywords in the org name (e.g. "vpn", "proxy", "anonym") may also trigger vpn_org_keyword even for unknown ASNs.
Use the ASN as a shortcut when you want to block a whole hosting provider at the edge rather than maintaining a per-IP list.
