wait, what's the problem with IP transit through Russia
Do packets ever go through Russia? From Japan to Europe always seems to go through the US. If I VPN into Hong Kong I get a route via Singapore and France (mediterranean cable?), which makes sense... but the route from Japan to the HK VPN inexplicably bounces through the US first.
Found a HK VPN endpoint that doesn't take a detour through Los Angeles. That gets me ~40ms better ping to Europe than without the VPN... but probably not worth it with the other VPN overhead (though probably depends on the time of day).
no, and yeah, I wonder why? e.g. here packets go from MOW to SGP via the US, which is absurdhttps://twitter.com/whitequark/status/966272247009873921 …
Back when I worked at a company with a large network, IIRC for the longest time there was no circumnavigational route. I think they eventually got one (and it broke some code somewhere, of course), but the big fat routes were still APAC<->US<->EMEA.
