Rain no longer peering with Cloudflare

[cavedog]

Hi @rain_networks

Why are you guys no longer peering with Cloudflare in SA?

They must have stopped announcing locally because Rain is picking up Cloudflare traffic from the UK and it's frustrating.

And here I thought that rain comes from clouds

Sounds more like a misconfiguration. SA has a couple CF PoPs so shouldn't route to UK even without "peering"

Also picked this up even thought it showing we on JHB Server still going to the UK.

Yeah it's weird because it's all cloudflare traffic free or enterprise or even via Warp+ still the same.

@rain_networks - can we get word on this? It's a bit of a pain. Avg of 180-190 to CF pops and DNS.

Sometimes Cloudflare redirects traffic to non-enterprise plan sites when they have capacity issues on their local PoPs. To complicate troubleshooting, they sometimes only do this for certain ISPs as well.

I see that whatever the issue was, is no longer.

https://cloudflare-test.judge.sh/ is a nice tool that shows if they are rerouting non ent websites

Just to let you know, I am with Herotel and I can no longer connect to Cloudflare Warp.

Rather have the below result than the 200+ when it was routed to UK
