    Soon your own Internet, not joking but I feel like you already hate enough from big corps and you already provide some great free services

    It is not that I dont like Big companies, but Big Companies ALWAYS misuse data, ALWAYS.

    Everything to increase profit.

    @irene If the target is just Europe or the US for example, a few server in those regions at high speed nodes might be enough.

    @irene Why doesn't that work? Of course using a server in the US from Europe isn't low latency, but having some in each Europe's country (for Europe) would certainly suffice (for European users only of course).

    @irene it could work if he put it on a decentralized network but we all know this guy thinks blockchain is evil witchcraft

    Having adequate redundancy is harder than it looks tho 😉

    Edit: ...and expensive

    I don't think that you could build an own CDN.

    But you could try it, first start to build servers in every country and than more and more

    If you need DDoS protection, you will not be able to make it efficient against botnets ever. Otherwise, it could be good, but expensive choice.

    Yes, you should. I’d contribute.

    ..and then last long enough to see it become another mega-corp harvesting data for extra profit.

    Well, the only thing I need is servers with an Anycast IP, then I can do the rest pretty easily :)

    Ofcourse I can. I just need an AnyCast service, couple of servers (dont need to be in any country) and then I am good

    Not really, that is not the definition of it. But ofcourse - if the demand increases, the cost would of more servers would increase too.

    But it looks like I can get started with a budget of €100/month, for 5 PoC's

    Basically, for those who are interested:

    A server with Varnish Cache or even nginx is enough to create a CDN. And ofcourse Anycast.

    @Linux Anycast for HTTP(S)?
    I guess you mean something different here.

    @sbiewald @Linux
    Okay I researched a bit and just found out how Anycast works.

    Interesting.

    Yes, Anycast.

    Anycast not something that have to do with DNS

    @codenameszjames

    It can be done with Varnish or NGINX, no docker required :)
