Anycast Network

Global distributed DNS infrastructure that ensures ultra-fast resolution, high availability, and resilient security for all connected users.

The Problem

Why a global Anycast network matters for DNS security and performance

Traditional DNS architectures rely on a small number of centralized servers, which can result in higher latency, reduced performance, and potential single points of failure. This becomes a limitation for modern security solutions that must respond quickly to threats and provide consistent protection worldwide. FlashStart’s Anycast Network overcomes these challenges by distributing identical DNS resolvers across multiple data centers on all continents. Because DNS resolution requests are automatically routed to the nearest or most available node, users experience faster responses and uninterrupted protection, regardless of where they are. This architecture also enables scalable load balancing and seamless failover: if a server is overloaded or goes offline, traffic is dynamically routed to the next available node in real-time.

Protection and prevention

FlashStart’s Anycast Network ensures that DNS protection is not only fast but also resilient and secure. By having numerous active servers at key exchange points around the world, DNS queries are always handled by the nearest available node, reducing transit times and minimizing delays in threat blocking. The network features full redundancy and scalable load balancing across intelligent resource systems with automatic provisioning. With anycast routing, DNS queries are resolved by the best-performing node available, transforming global infrastructure into a high-resilience security layer. Anycast works transparently for users — there is no need for manual configuration. All DNS queries are automatically routed to the appropriate server, providing instant protection and eliminating the complications of managing multiple DNS endpoints manually.

Frequently asked questions

Anycast is a networking technique where the same IP address is advertised by multiple servers. DNS queries are routed to the nearest or most appropriate node, reducing latency and improving response times.
By directing traffic to geographically nearest or best-performing servers, Anycast minimizes DNS resolution times and improves the speed at which security protections are applied.
Because multiple servers share the same address, the failure or overload of one node doesn’t interrupt service — traffic is automatically routed to another node without service degradation.
It significantly reduces latency since queries are resolved by the closest node, accelerating browsing and security processing.
Yes. Traffic can be mitigated or black-holed across the distributed network, preventing single-point overload and maintaining service stability.
