A noob question about anycast +KVM VPS
Hi everyone ! I have a question related to anycast and kvm vps . I have a problem . I have a website with european visitors, north american visitors and south american visitors . The speed is quiet nice for US , Canada , Mexico and Europe , but the speed is really slow in South America . My KVM VPS is located in Europe and i am using cloudflare . Any siggestions how could I improve the speed for them using kvm vps anycast . To be completely honest i have no idea how is working and if i set up a new kvm vps cloudflare would catch the content from the nearest point or how could be possible to solve my speed issue . Any ideas and suggestions ?

What kind of website is it? To use anycast, you either need a provider with anycast ip support (most likely requires you to buy from all of their location), or your own /24 IPv4 (if your using CloudFlare, /48 IPv6 should also do the trick) and a provider that can announce the IP address. If you have 2 VMs with different IPs, you can use CloudFlare's load balancing feature to let CF's edge connect to the closest server.
Get multiple VPS in multiple parts of the world, drop CloudFlare, do GeoDNS
Multiple VPS + AWS Route53.
Cheap, simple, good.
