Handling Regional Access Issues on CDN Nodes: Huodunyun CDN Security Guide

Huodunyun CDN users may occasionally face access issues limited to specific regions. This guide outlines common scenarios and step-by-step solutions to help you quickly identify and resolve these issues.

Scenario 1: Access Issues in Certain Networks (Restored After Switching Networks or Disabling Proxies)

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Check Local Network Stability:
   • Test connectivity by accessing a trusted website or using online diagnostic tools.
   • If other websites work as expected, the local network is not the problem.
2. Blocked Outbound IP:
   • Modify the HOSTS file to bind the origin server and test direct access.
   • If the origin server denies access, check if the outbound IP is blocked.
   • Use tools like IPIP.net to identify the outbound IP and contact Huodunyun support for node verification.

Scenario 2: Widespread Regional Issues or Node Connection Failures

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Verify Local Network and Connectivity:
   • Test access to other websites to rule out local network problems.
2. Check for Node-Specific Issues:
   • Use ping commands and tools like Webmaster Home to assess latency and connectivity from multiple regions.
   • If widespread issues persist, contact Huodunyun support.
3. Investigate Routing Failures:
   • Use Traceroute to map the connection path.
   • Share the route data with Huodunyun for deeper analysis.
   • Switch to public DNS (e.g., 223.5.5.5) and retry after clearing the DNS cache.

Scenario 3: Outdated Files Served Despite Updates

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Manually Refresh CDN Cache:
   • Submit a refresh task in the Huodunyun CDN console after updating the origin server. Wait a few minutes and test again.
2. Check Origin Server Synchronization:
   • Ensure files are consistent across origin servers.
   • Compare headers like Content-Length and ETag for mismatches.
3. Clear Browser Cache:
   • Disable caching in developer tools and reload the page to confirm updates.
4. Address Potential Hijacking:
   • Investigate if requests are redirected to non-CDN IPs.
   • If hijacking is detected, contact the ISP or change DNS settings.
