FAQ
Experimental status The anycast service is offered on a “good-effort” basis. Individual resolvers are provided on a “best-effort” basis. If you need a stable service, please switch to our regular resolvers.
Why Anycast? Because I can. Anycast improves resilience because traffic can fail over to another PoP automatically. It simplifies client setup because you only need one IP/Hostname per protocol instead of many host-specific addresses. It can reduce latency by directing clients to the nearest PoP (or increase latency if clients aren't routed to their nearest PoP).
Any Disadvantages? Anycast increases complexity, which means there are more components that can fail. Limited control over PoP selection on the client side and limited influence on routing on our side can increase latency for clients.
Partners for subnets Zappie Host provides an IPv4 subnet at a discounted rate. kait provides IPv6 for free.
Scope The scope of our Anycast service is Europe-wide only. You may use it outside of Europe, of course, but you'll likely experience high latency.
Why not worldwide? We have limited influence over the routing between you and our Anycast PoPs, and we still want the service to be reliably usable. That is why we currently limit the scope to Europe. Expanding to other regions would require an additional /24 IPv4 subnet per region. If you have any available and are interested in sponsoring a whole region, please get in touch.
