Sofia Edge server out of service?

I’m reposting this topic, since the last one from 2019 is closed.

As the OP of the previous topic, I’m experiencing same routing from Bulgaria, using free and paid plans.

https://miniso.bg/cdn-cgi/trace:

=== ISP: A1.bg ===
ip=77.85.28.223
colo=FRA
http=http/3
loc=BG
tls=TLSv1.3

=== ISP: Telenor.bg ===
ip=77.85.28.223
colo=OTP
http=http/3
loc=BG
tls=TLSv1.3

Interesting, Medium.com is served from the SOF edge server from both ISP in Bulgaria:

https://medium.com/cdn-cgi/trace:

ip=77.85.28.223
colo=SOF
http=http/3
loc=BG
tls=TLSv1.3

It’s marked as operational, so it should be working.

Cloudflare has generally focused a lot of European traffic on the German datacenter recently, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that is simply the routing for now, particularly for free plans. You can also check it at https://cloudflare-test.judge.sh

Well, I’m testing on paid plans and the results are exactly the same, no routing to SOF. The datacenter is operational, but useless since no routes to it, except Medium.com :wink: ?

Can you post a full page screenshot of aforementioned link.

Hera are 3 screenshots from sites that I’m testing:

That is not the link I posted.

That’s not the full page, but it would seem as if Business plans are routed via Sofia, lower plans not or only partially. So yeah, Sofia is operational and working.

Peering - Why don't I reach the closest datacenter to me? addresses this as well. This is a mixture of your ISP’s routing, coupled with Cloudflare announcements. As mentioned earlier Cloudflare has focused a lot of traffic on the German PoP recently, so it’s not too surprising, but if you want any sort of guarantee you’d probably only get that on Enterprise I am afraid.

So, in conclusion, Sofia is running, but available only for Enterprise plans?

Yes, it is running and based on your data apparently working from Business onwards. The more expensive your plan the more likely that you get IP addresses with “guaranteed” routing, but a tangible guarantee you’ll only have with Enterprise I am afraid. Everything else is best effort.

Sounds strange, as it’s not mentioned nowhere on the site or docs :confused:

What is not mentioned? And what’s strange?

That’s how Anycast works and in particular Cloudflare.
