My PC is connecting with 95.100.96.43, Akamai Technologies

 

But Wikipedia says that the HQ is in Cambridge, but an IP locator says it's in Swiss...

My dad has been hacking my mom's PC and he is in Swiss...

 

My question is... Is that IP adress really Akamai?

 

EDIT: type "neststat" in CMD and check if that IP adress shows up.

So netstat reveals all the servers you are currently connected to. Yes, you have a connection to an Akamai server, which is pretty common considering they are one of the largest content delivery networks in the world. They are not an ISP, they own an address range to assign to all of their servers, which is not a small amount

 

Again, Akamai have a large amount of customers so there is nothing you should be worrying about. If you actually understood how the internet works, how Akamai works, and what netstat is actually used for, I don't think you would be posting this.

 

To answer your original question though, yes, it's an Akamai address as per:

I just discovered that Akamai is an internet provider, how do i block everything that begins with 95.100...?

router firewall settings
