Better QA endpoints

Open jimaek opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

The issue keeps coming up. Even reliable servers keep failing the QA test because of weirdness from the selected root-servers

root@globalping-probe:~# curl ipinfo.io
{
  "ip": "143.110.217.4",
  "city": "Toronto",
  "region": "Ontario",
  "country": "CA",

  "org": "AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC",
  "postal": "L5K",
  "timezone": "America/Toronto",
  "readme": "https://ipinfo.io/missingauth"
root@globalping-probe:~# ping k.root-servers.net

We should either select a different group of root servers or try to find better endpoints.
