How to enable QUIC on CDN?

To enable QUIC on a Content Delivery Network (CDN), you typically need to follow these steps:

  1. Choose a CDN Provider: Select a CDN provider that supports QUIC. Not all CDNs offer this protocol, so it's crucial to choose one that does.

  2. Access CDN Configuration: Log in to your CDN provider's control panel or dashboard.

  3. Enable QUIC Protocol: Look for the QUIC settings within the CDN configuration. This might be under advanced settings or a specific section for protocols.

  4. Configure Settings: Adjust any necessary settings related to QUIC, such as enabling it for specific domains or setting preferences for how QUIC connections are handled.

  5. Save and Apply Changes: Once configured, save your changes and apply them to ensure QUIC is active on your CDN.

  6. Test QUIC: Use tools like curl with the --http3 flag or browser developer tools to verify that QUIC is being used for requests to your CDN.

Example: If you are using Tencent Cloud, you can enable QUIC through the Tencent Cloud CDN console. Here’s a simplified process:

  • Log in to the Tencent Cloud Console.
  • Navigate to the CDN service.
  • Select the domain you want to configure.
  • Go to the "Advanced Settings" section.
  • Find the QUIC option and enable it.
  • Save your settings.
