> **Title: Routing & ECS issues on TLV PoPs (anexia-tlv & vultr-tlv) with Google/YouTube and general CDNs
> Hello NextDNS team,
> I am experiencing a consistent routing/ECS issue with Google services (specifically YouTube) when connected to the Israeli ultralow servers via my cellular network. I am using an iPhone 16 Pro Max with the Apple Configuration Profile (mobileconfig).
> **The Issue:**
> When I am connected to the Ultralow TLV servers (anexia-tlv or vultr-tlv, both IPv4 and IPv6), it seems that ECS data is either dropped or Google does not peer correctly with these specific IPs. As a result, Google assigns me distant European YouTube cache servers instead of local Israeli ones, leading to higher latency and slower buffering.
> **The Paradox (Anycast works better for CDN):**
> If I switch to Anycast, my cellular provider routes me to zepto-ams (Amsterdam). However, in this scenario, ECS works flawlessly! Google correctly identifies my Israeli cellular subnet and assigns me a local Israeli YouTube CDN, despite the DNS query resolving in Amsterdam.
> **Request:**
> 1. Could you please investigate the peering or ECS forwarding configurations for the anexia-tlv and vultr-tlv PoPs regarding Google DNS (googlevideo.com / youtube.com)?
> 2. **Additionally, could you please perform a general routing and peering health check for these TLV PoPs? Peering in Israel can sometimes be tricky, and it would be great to ensure overall optimal routing for local Israeli users across all major CDNs.**
> Attached is my current ping routing output for reference. Thank you!
