Metal anycast edge network - slower than the current one

2 years ago

hi I noticed when enrolling my domain into the metal anycast edge network the latency will be very high. When using the normal variant everything works as fast as it can get. Yes I know it says beta, but still, will this be addressed? Before u ask, yes, the services are deployed on the new metal infrastructure.

Do u need any more information?

Domain is using Cloudflare, it also detects the Cloudflare proxy


2 years ago

try turning the Cloudflare proxy off?


2 years ago

doesnt matter, seems still pretty slow


2 years ago

when using the metal anycast edge network it seems that it routes through the US, when using it without it routes through amsterdam


2 years ago

im not a networking pro but that seems off for me

cc @Phineas - more anycast shenanigans


2 years ago

this traceroute and header is correct


2 years ago

are you proxying your railway deployment via cloudflare by any chance?


2 years ago

your route to the metal edge network is correct, so there must be something in front of your deployment that is messing with routing


2 years ago

there is currently a known issue with the cloudflare proxy that we're working on


2 years ago

yes im using the cloudflare proxy. But even after disabling the proxy (switching the cloud off) and only let cf handle the dns it remains slow


2 years ago

idk if something was cached


2 years ago

When you disable the Cloudflare proxy it changes DNS so please give a few minutes for it to propagate


2 years ago

yeah I did, I alsp checked if the changes applied


2 years ago

If you’re no longer seeing server: cloudflare in your responses that’s how you’ll know


2 years ago

also*


2 years ago

yeah I saw that on other posts after posting my issue


2 years ago

lemme know if u need something to be tested, thank u for ur support


2 years ago

Please show me the response headers of a slow request if the issue persists


2 years ago

Will do, I will test it later


2 years ago

Okay I tested it again, Indeed with the proxy turned off and waiting a little bit its fast again.
