@mostlostnoob Thanks for the answer! Interesting to know that's how it works. Still, it's a bit odd to put two players who live in the same city in completely different countries for whatever reason. I guess we have different ISPs and that somehow affects the cloudflare connection? To be fair though, this whole "issue" is quite unimportant, it's just a funny visual bug.
Looking for feedback on whether people perceive more or fewer connection problems
@mostlostnoob Nice, someday I'll look into that. I think I deleted my music files (2 if I remember), otherwise it didn't start or crashed, something like that. I guess that's the quick fix if anyone else have the same problem. Great about the flags, I guess I can stand being Danish/Norwegian a bit longer. Barely. (JK dear neighbours) Update: Besides flags it been smooth since alpha-3.
@utopian When I play with my friends, we all connect to the same VPN Server, in order to get a direct p2p connection over this single server. Kind of like our on relay node. All the traffic gets routed over this server, yet some of us get a german flag, some get a dutch. We also thought this is weird, but that cloudflare thing explains it.
For me the connection has become much better with the latest version of the client. Before this, TMM was very bad, very often it could not connect with players, but I have a cable connection and a minimum number of disconnects. With the new client, I have never caught a situation where I see an empty player table in the ice client debugger window. Thanks to the developers for not abandoning the game and constantly improving the bugs.

Well I had connections problems tonight and have never had any before so....
Yesterday was an exception. There was an issue with our ice middleware.
He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they live underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is playin' FAF, playin' FAF"
after the update it was as good as before the ddos attacks, which is ok, but not that good:P
BUT
after i turned on this cotourn server thing it got a lot better! maybe 1 out of 5 - 7 matches need to be re'ed, which is a huge improvement!
So thx for working on our most favourite rts:)
@jip yep, much better now thank you. far more stable.
now i'm back to the old issues of players having slow cpus, or players being far away from each other e.g. russia to australia
