Unexpected route in Argentina

Hello. I deployed an application in eze, and found that traffic within the country is routed through gru edge, despite eze being nearer. I connected through a VPN that exits near eze, and found that response times were better (37ms with VPN vs 45ms without VPN) and traffic was effectively edged at the datacenter. At the same time, native IPv6 seems to be routed through scl, but IPv6 proxied by CF is routed through gru.

This isn’t too bad! India was being routed through Australia for a week and now goes thru Germany. :rofl:
