AnycastIP's new PoP - Sofia, BG
Join us in celebrating the opening of our 22nd AnycastIP Point of Presence (PoP) in Sofia, Bulgaria!
We have an exclusive offer for you: save €3 on every second and subsequent anycast IP address, now priced at €7 instead of the regular €10. After a one-month free trial, you can upgrade to the paid Anycast IP LET2026 package. It’s that simple!
To sweeten the deal, for every 50 active promotional subscriptions, we will reduce the base price by €1 until we reach a final price of €7 (down from the regular price of €10).
AnycastIP is a Rage4 anycast network-as-a-service platform that allows you to implement anycast routing on top of your existing servers. It’s the same platform used for your favourite authoritative DNS service. For more information, please visit our website at https://rage4.com.

Yeah, a deployment was in progress as we were fixing some minor UI issues. It's done now
What is the different between this and I self-host anycast DNS servers + proxies?
Curious question, no harming intend.
The differences are the scale, performance, and cost. Running self-hosted anycast DNS servers + proxies is more expensive, at least for the self-hosted anycast network part (leasing IP subnets, an ASN, etc.). Our platform offers a low-level networking solution that you can use to build your own anycast DNS servers, a CDN, or something else. Just mix and match a couple of VMs, add two AnycastIP anycast addresses (€17/month), and you're good. We handle network performance tuning, expanding to new locations, and handling security.
If you have any questions regarding Rage4 or anycast in general AMA
When will Seoul PoP open? And if I have multiple IPs, can I pool the bandwidth allowance? Do I have to pay for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?
Seoul - within a week or so. Bandwidth pool - we would need to check this but seems doable. Do I have to pay - yes, we need to eat
What did you have for breakfast?
Thanks!
Just to confirm I've understood correctly - if I order 3 IPs under a single network, the total is 24 EUR/mo (10 + 7 + 7), and that gives me 30 TB of bandwidth per month. Is that right?
A couple of follow-up questions:
Is traffic counted in both directions? For example, if a user downloads 10 GB, does that register as 10 GB (origin → edge) + 10 GB (edge → user) = 20 GB total?
And do you bill for both ingress and egress, or egress only?
Say my origin server is in Seoul but attached to the Tokyo PoP, and a user's request lands on the LA PoP. Which path does the traffic take?
(a) LA (Rage4) → Tokyo (Rage4) → Seoul (my server), routed through the backbone to my origin's home PoP, or
(b) LA (Rage4) → Seoul (my server) directly, bypassing Tokyo?
Thank you!
WPC+WPI whey complex and some chicken broth soup, doing a lot of gym as I'm almost 50
dear hello
this is my question wtf
Nope, that's still 10TB, as the transfer is attached to the network and not addresses, but I think it's a very good idea to change it. Let me discuss it internally
Yes, both directions, we but only for anycast IPs, we don't count internal traffic. That's the bit I'm working on right now, so no additional transfer charges til September.
option A
Thanks!
Will (and when) will bandwidth pooling be implemented? And for bandwidth, will internal transfers also be charged after September?
@sanvit we need to finish firewalls first. The bandwidth related stuff is next
You never let us know ur breakfast
He did tho
Another invaluable member of the community Mr, 3K33, has made me aware of my terrible vision missing a clearly and obvious quoted message reply by today at 11:58 just moment after my comment. I decided to call Spec savers our of dire concern I could not see the obvious they booked me within the same hour!
I explained how I missed a forum post, and I was informed of the bad news…
Turns out i’m in major need of glasses immediately to prevent further loss of vision and this early warning sign noticed by 3K33 has helped save my eyesight.
Thank you friend, hopefully one day I can repay you.
@LEBUserJoe also check your eyes for glaucoma
@gbshouse who do i gotta suck off to get anycast for my selfhosted DNS cluster for less than $50 per year
Did I mention that we also have always-on GSL available almost everywhere.
@sanvit Seoul being deployed now, will have to let it sink for a few days and if everything will be fine will make it public 
Which ISP/backbone used for Seoul? And could you elaborate on GSL (docs, etc)?
@sanvit Seoul is up and running internally, we are Vultr Partner so
what do you want to know about GSL?
Nah I just wanted to know how it works (does it automatically failover, priority settings, etc.) and I like reading through the docs for interesting stuffs
@sanvit nothing fancy, just solid in-line setup. If someone needs a specific profile just open a support ticket
good question
We had internal discussion regarding data pooling etc. and decided to leave everything as-is:
Ah €10/TB, so that's the catch.
I suppose it has to be that way because some regions have very expensive bandwidth.
Still 10 times cheaper than AWS
I wonder if you issue a pseudo-LOA so that some server providers might allow the anycast address as a source address, instead of considering it as spoofing. Is that a thing that exists in the world? If that's a thing, return packets could bypass rage4.
Yeah, one price for all locations including South America and Middle East
Nope, it's just wrong
It would be interesting to see if there's a provider who would agree to it. Some places do their load balancing that way within a DC - they just have the server directly reply from the IP of the load balancer. But of course the politics of that are different.
