Today we've added a new node into our cluster it's a dedicated server we've named ATLAS. This new server is already serving your queries and is viewable on our service status page.

It is our aim to have proxycheck.io always be accessible which means our goal is to never have any downtime. We're mitigating the risk of downtime by not only renting servers in different data centers but also hosted by different companies and in different countries and next year we aim to have servers in entirely different continents.

Currently we have PROMETHEUS in the United Kingdom, HELIOS in Germany and now ATLAS in France. The next time we discuss nodes we hope to have a server operational in North America.

As always our cluster operates transparently to users, you do not need to specify which node your traffic goes to, your queries are routed automatically by us and our cluster is used to answer all queries, not just paid queries but free ones too.

With the volume of queries we're receiving per day reaching into the millions we decided to add a third server sooner rather than later, not because we're maxing out the servers we already had (we were not close to that point due to our efficient API backend) but because we felt it was important to add more redundancy to the cluster as our customer base grows.

We hope you're finding our blog posts interesting, it's an enjoyable way to tell our story and inform people about what we're up to. The service is constantly being worked on behind the scenes and although you may notice some visual changes to the site here or there it's mostly the things you don't see which are being worked on most of all.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
