I've just completed moving lemmy.ca and piefed.ca away from using Cloudflare's proxy service, this means traffic now comes directly from our server instead of being routed through any US based companies. Pixelfed.ca is still on deflect.ca for the moment.

Let me know please if you run into any problems or errors!

Note that in order to avoid making too many major changes at once, our DNS is still hosted by cloudflare. I'll be moving that away from them later this week

Very cool, good work

Moving to non US companies seems like a good thing these days. As much as I do developer work I'm not overly knowledgeable on these types of services especially when they need to scale up to a level needed for this, but awesome to hear.

What are you planning to use for DNS? I am looking to ditch Cloudflare too, only remaining thing is DNS

Desec.io

what provider do you use to host the actual instance on?

been looking for a good one for some publicly facing services, went with xenyth, seems alright but they charge in USD despite being canadian

We own our own hardware in a datacenter, so I can't help =)

Sasktel apparently does some form of cloud infrastructure now, haven't actually looked into it but they are looking to expand their customer base to across Canada

I use Servarica out of Montreal but I checked my invoices and it says USD as well

Dang, now thelemmy.club might lose the title of the only Lemmy instance listed under Canada at join-lemmy.org lol
