Metal anycast edge network - slower than the current one

a year 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


a year ago

try turning the Cloudflare proxy off?


a year ago

doesnt matter, seems still pretty slow


a year ago

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


a year ago

im not a networking pro but that seems off for me

cc @Phineas - more anycast shenanigans


a year ago

this traceroute and header is correct


a year ago

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


a year 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


a year ago

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


a year 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


a year ago

idk if something was cached


a year ago

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


a year ago

yeah I did, I alsp checked if the changes applied


a year ago

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


a year ago

also*


a year ago

yeah I saw that on other posts after posting my issue


a year ago

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


a year ago

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


a year ago

Will do, I will test it later


a year ago

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