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.
