Anycast

Written by DNSFilter Team | Apr 30, 2025 3:27:16 PM

Anycast is a way to route a network when there are multiple routing paths available. The network has its pick of servers to send to, and will pick the closest one for the end user. This also enables the ability to route to a new server if another one goes down for any reason. Learn more about Anycast here.
