I think you actually want that to say global (under REGION). Due to…

@lillian

regional IPs are not returned in .fly.dev queries. you can allocate a global IP (without --region flag) to do what you want.

note that shared IPs aren’t based in US, rather they are routed to the region nearest to the user, with anycast.

Also, I’d release the IPv6 address, since UDP won’t be available over that. (Unless Minecraft can make do with TCP-only.)

@Stephen

I can SSH in but the image its using doesn’t have ss available.

If it’s a Debian-based image then you can apt-get update followed by apt-get install --no-install-recommends iproute2, which is a package of general IP networking goodies.

ss -unap will show all process that are listening on UDP at the moment. You need Local Address to match the entry for fly-global-services in /etc/hosts.

Hope this helps a little!
