Server providers for South-Africa

"
Mind sharing the IP? via logs?


What we are seeing is they are using a server IP from US azure


I'm getting the same as you:

2021/09/17 10:07:02 263650406 d8 [INFO Client 16564] Connecting to instance server at 104.42.61.218:6112

I've spun up some very limited testing in South Africa so we can explore the feasibility of some different options.

You can access this by typing SouthAfrica into the gateway selection box.

  • There's only around 100 instances of capacity there currently.
  • Don't expect it to be reliable - caveat emptor.
  • We may take it down periodically or change things around.
  • It's set to put new instances on Frankfurt when it's full or offline.
  • This is very early/preliminary. Anything permanent (if this even happens) will be a while away, so temper your expectations.


Interested to know why this is suddenly made possible? Is it Azure?

Thank you
I am going off info from reddit but this post shows it as 104.42.61.21

I am just not home to test myself but you can check your client log files for the server it tries to connect to if you are home

This is all we can ask. Really do hope it works out well.

It seems they might be testing it closer to home server for now? to see if the azure server works with their main server and they might move it after more testing to the capetown server node
I think they're just handing off to the wrong server. Lets hope it gets fixed by the weekend so we can do some testing
zaf01.login.pathofexile.com this is the login server

You might be right cause they are testing a new provider they might have made a test server in the US on azure to make sure everything is stable close by

This is also via cloudflare in California too.
