Network traffic between two Amsterdam (NL) datacenters passes through USA
Hello,
I've three vps on Amsterdam (NL) nodes from three providers. One uses a datacenter (VPS1 on SingleHop) while the others use another datacenter (VPS2 and VPS3 on Serverius).
Since yesterday network traffic between them go through USA in both directions (from VPS1 to VPS2/VPS3 and vice versa).
The only difference is that traceroute from VPS1 to VPS2/VPS3 shows US nodes while from VPS2/VPS3 to VPS1 they are not shown but they seem "implicit" (nothing between two NL nodes but 90 ms of difference).
Who should I advise about this issue? Provider1, Provider2, Provider3, both of them, nobody?
Thanks

Wouldn't NL to US and back would be at least 150ms?
I would think so.
I don't know if I've hidden the correct data.

Please use < PRE >
They may use CloudFlare or other protection,DNS,etc where traffic routed trough US..?
SingleHop to Serverius
Serverius to SingleHop
I'd say contact singhelop (or rather the VPS provider that is with them) and give them these traceroutes.
Of course serverius might also be interested in the traceroutes, but singlehop probably has more power to fix this.
This is from SingleHop NL to Serverius NL: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 89.438/89.471/89.490/0.245 ms
This is from SingleHop NL to an Atlanta (US) dc: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 95.976/96.177/96.697/0.267 ms
@a_chris Maybe the NSA want your data before it gets to it's destination
Ha ha I've been waiting for this answer
Strange that they don't have a sort of cron job running who traceroutes time by time and uses a whitelist to check if the traffic is well routed.
