Public gateways are trash lately. What are you guys using?

[lianna]

Honestly, the public gateways have been absolute trash lately with constant timeouts and rate limits. I’m sick of the lag, so I need a better solution for my node. Are you guys self-hosting or paying for a private service?

I've been using a local node with a few connections to public nodes for stability, it's been working smooth for me. My friend uses a VPN and public gateways without issues too so maybe its just a matter of location or the specific public node you're connected to. I've heard good things about some of the new relay networks that are coming out.

I've been using a few alternative relayers like Orb and Galleon, they seem to be working more reliably lately, but I'm not sure if it's just my luck improving or if they've actually made some real changes. Also, a buddy of mine swears by using a custom server setup, but I'm not tech-savvy enough to try that myself.

I've had decent luck with MetaMask's built-in RPC solution, but I'm not a fan of relying on gateways at all. Been exploring some private node setups and it's been a game changer - anyone else tried that route? Just be prepared for the hardware costs.

Yeah, the free ones are getting hammered non-stop these days. I finally bit the bullet and spun up my own node, best decision ever.

Yeah, the rate limiting on public nodes has been atrocious lately. I just bit the bullet and spun up my own instance—totally worth the setup time to not deal with that lag.

Public RPCs are cooked right now with all the congestion. I switched to a private node provider a few months ago and haven't looked back—it’s just way more reliable.

opportunities - let's talk

Public gateways have been getting throttled like crazy lately. I just run a local node now for speed, or use Pinata if I need to pin stuff without the headache.
