Okay. Can you help me figure if switching to Cloudflare CDN is a good choice given that the content served to my users would be small TS video file chunks ranging from 200KB to 2MB (stored on R2) and majority of my users are from Pakistan, and then from India/UAE. Cloudflare does show that 3 PoPs in Pakistan but often my requests have been routed to far away PoPs instead of the one in my city. I want to understand why it does this, is it about the plan I have opted or does it depend on something else.
1. All PoPs are available to all plans (other than china) however free plans are the first to be routed elsewhere if a specific PoP is getting close to capacity. The higher plan level you have the less likely your traffic will be routed elsewhere due to capacity requirements. So the pro plan can help yes. 2. Content on R2 is not replicated across regions. It is currently single region. I know there have been talks about how multi-region will work before but not sure if we are close to that happening yet or not.
So i created a r2 bucket and selected the "Specify jurisdiction" field and it is now throwing me this error every time going into the bucket on the dash.
