I found a way to reduce the network latency between mainland China and Fly hkg region

The network condition between Fly and mainland China is not good. Requests from mainland China are routed to the United States or Japan. I tried changing the deployment region or setting the regional IP, but it didn’t solve the problem.

Recently I found a way to improve the network environment, which is:

Setup a server in Hong Kong, which has good network quality to mainland China and Fly hkg. Then install a reverse proxy to forward to Fly hkg.

I wrote a blog (in Chinese) to describe the method in detail, which may be useful to some people:

I still use Fly as app deployment platform. I hope Fly can optimize access from mainland China in the future.
