In 7 days time, we’ve saved almost 500GB worth of bandwidth from our gameserver. Our players are noting that the speeds are also 10x faster, and overall it’s an extremely easy way to save bandwidth off your main server, and speed up things for your players.
Here is the tutorial: Optimizing resource downloads using a caching proxy
Right now we are averaging around 100GB a day saved.
If you mind, can you share which CDN service provider you are using?
Just using OVH. Simple little Ubuntu VPS with unmetered 1Gbps bandwidth.
Do you use also reverse-proxy through the VPS or you just provide the data files through the CDN? I am using a Nginx reverse proxy using a VPS machine, but I’m not using it as a CDN, that’s why I’m asking.
Are you using it as a proprietary code/plugin or do you have some public domain code that you can share on how you implemented it on your server? Thanks nonetheless for your answers.
I just followed the instructions as I provided via the link.
