Hello Control D Team,

As a paid subscriber in Turkey (ISP: GIBIRNet via Turk Telekom infrastructure), I am experiencing high latency and routing inconsistency. Because there is no local Control D PoP in Turkey, my DNS and proxy traffic dynamically swings between Frankfurt, Germany (fra-*) and France (par-*).

My domestic baseline latency is ~20ms, but crossing the international transit links to Central Europe bumps my DNS resolution latency to 65ms+ and proxy latency to ~56ms+, with additional jitter whenever Anycast path selection flips between the German and French nodes.

Could you look into establishing better BGP routing / Anycast peering with Turk Telekom/GIBIRNet, or consider deploying/announcing a local node in Turkey (e.g., Istanbul / IST) to serve users in the region?

Below are my traceroutes and status panel details:

Control D Status Panel:

• ISP: GIBIRNet / Turk Telekom (Turkey)
• Primary Anycast Locations: Bouncing between Frankfurt (fra-h52 / fra-pxy51) and France
• Latency Range: ~55ms – 70ms+
• Protocol: DoH3
