How do i find out what the foreign addresses are in cmd and where they come from?

Ran netstat -a and I was curious as to what yx-in-f95:https on the foreign address section is and how to find out myself in the future.

Foreign address section shows the server name or the IP address with which connection is established.

it usually displays like below

 Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp4 0 0 1xx.1xx.2xx.1xx.532xx server-216-137-3.https ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 1xx.1xx.2xx.1xx.531xx stackoverflow.co.https ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 1xx.1xx.2xx.1xx.530xx 162.247.243.146.https ESTABLISHED
