What is the issue you’re encountering
I am wondering if I have successfully transitioned to Cloudflare nameservers?
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
I just switched my nameservers to Cloudflare, is my website: https://homesandland.ph now on CloudFlares name servers and is their servers based near Manila automatically with a free plan? my hosting is with hostinger which servers they have for me are based in Indonesia (I am mainly focussing on users from the philippines) thanks for any help gang!
Seems to be from my end.
Cloudflare services, such as e.g. the name servers (DNS), and the Cloudflare Proxy servers, that are used with Proxy (
) DNS records, are available globally through the use of anycast routing.

Where you are being routed to, depends on your ISP’s decisions, including their peering arrangements with Cloudflare, and whether these peering arrangements (if they have such) are done locally or far away.
If your provider from the Philippines does not want to peer with Cloudflare within the Philippines, and is only peering with Cloudflare in e.g. North America, then traffic from that ISP will be sent from the Philippines and to Cloudflare’s PoP in North America.
You can however contact your ISP, and request that they set up a settlement-free peering with Cloudflare within your own country, or at least, somewhere closer than the other continent, if locally within your own country isn’t an option for them.
Since you’re specifically mentioning the Philippines, it has been mentioned before, that the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) is sending traffic to other continents, and apparently mainly North America.
The PLDT operators seems, according to the allegations, to be under the faulty impression, that all traffic is going to North America anyway, so because of that, there is no reason for them to peer locally with other networks.

Hey guys
How about other users of the website homesandland.ph? If other users are using a different ISP (there a few here in the Philippines), will they be routed from North America too?
Would you suggest I turn off Cloudflare and return to the previous Indonesia server or Hong Kong as it is closer to the Philippines?
And could you explain routing a little bit more for me in layman terms?
Thank you !
Also, can I use Quic Cloud together with Cloudflare? And how would I go about that?
