Hmm, i thought ck had it setup to automatically go to the nearest node? I've been using non eu node for half a year!! 120ms difference
The eu node has only existed for 19 days so there was no way for you to mine to it. Also no, I don't redirect anything anywhere, that's up to the miner.
Miners in EU and Africa should use eusolo
Miners in the Americas and Asia-Pacific region should use solo
