How to use Indonesia PoP

[round tartan]

Hi, my server location are in Indonesia, I'm accessing from Indonesia, but why the route cloudflare choose are Singapore?, do I need to upgrade something? or there is something I need to change in the default setting?, thankyou!

The server shown is the server closest to where you live not the end server

but cloudflare has jakarta point of presence, and I live in jakarta

add /cdn-cgi/trace at the end of your url and send a screenshot

keep in mind your ip is the 3rd line so blur that if you want to

[polar scaffold]

hmm

[round tartan]

the cloudflare main site are colo=CGK which is Jakarta

That is weird

sorry I am out of ideas why this is happening

[round tartan]

no problem, thankyou about the /cdn-cgi/trace tho

try using warp https://one.one.one.one/

¯_(ツ)_/¯

my 1.1.1.1 DNS was actually connected while taking the screenshot

dns only, non warp

[polar scaffold]

DNS doesn't change routing

try changing it to warp

That typically comes down to the ISP. Cloudflare annouces their IPs in multiple locations and it is up to the ISP on how to get to Cloudflare

but warp add pretty much latency than raw non vpn connection, and I did not expect my visitor to use warp

[round tartan]

just FYI, still using colo=SIN

[polar scaffold]

What does it say in warp client?

[polar scaffold]

click settings cog

[polar scaffold]

yeah your at the mercy of your isp

sorry

Honest question, why would it matter?

[round tartan]

I'm building tunnel server where I bought vps from different indonesia city, it would just much better if cloudflare also route using indonesia

user <-> tun server <-> cloudflare <-> globe

Your VPS might connect to a different PoP than you do from your home internet. It just depends how your ISP peering agreements and routing is set up. Also physically closer not necessarily means more direct connection

[round tartan]

I don't understand, other side the route are decided by end user, not the server

[formal girder]

The route is decided by the ISP.
Your home connection is probably on a different ISP than your VPS.

[round tartan]

yes, but my vps physical location is the same city as I live which is CGK, ideally, it should route using CGK rather than SIN

but internet topography is not necessarily the same as real life geography
