I think I'm missing something, but is there a way you can pass along some some sort of vague location info for caching purposes without revealing too much? From their tweet they mentioned even continent level information isn't available, which I can understand. Is there really no middle ground that works here?
- afavour 3y agoFrom another post the CEO made it sounds like they could do a bunch of things but don’t think they should. Which I understand. Once you start adding workarounds for specific domains I can imagine the whole thing spiralling quickly. The owner of archive.is doesn’t want the traffic, CF probably shouldn’t move heaven and earth in response.
- dataflow 3y agoI don't see what I proposed as a domain specific workaround, it should be done for all domains I think.
- xnyanta 3y agoContinent-level information doesn't exist. EDNS Client Subnet doesn't send a location, it sends a subnet. Its "location" then has to be looked up in geolocation databases which may or may not be accurate. There's no subnet that will map to a continent.
