I used Fly for some projects, I really like it.
But once again, for many of my projects, I still need my outbound IPs to resolve to a specific country. I can't have them all resolve to Chicago, US in undeterministic ways.
I would be willing to pay an additional cost for this but even with reserved IPs, I am given IPs that are labelled as Chicago, US IPs by GeoIP providers even for non US regions.
- zifnab06 3y agofwiw - our network folks _should_ have fixed this a few weeks ago. Some of the outbound IPs were incorrectly tagged in some of the geoip databases as being in the US when they were not.
- therein 3y agoI remember asking about this about half a year ago. Back then I was told since Fly can route these IPs to wherever they want in their infrastructure by making simple configuration changes, the line is blurred anyway but GeoIP providers just take the shortcut and resolve to where the company is registered. I'll try again if the situation is different now.
- zifnab06 3y agoInbound IPs use anycast - the IP we give you routes to the nearest fly region and then hits a wireguard tunnel to get to the correct region. Outbound IPs are tied to the individual host your machine is running on (which is located in a single region). These are tied to a single region, and in some cases, these were resolving to the wrong region in a few of the GeoIP databases. We hopefully fixed this part.
- therein 3y agoThank you, I will try again today. It would unblock deploying my usecase on Fly.
