How accessible is anycast for most people? AFAIK, if you're ok with a third party seeing all your traffic, you can get behind Cloudflare's anycast or Google cloud load balancer (which does seem to offer TCP, so you don't have to let Google decrypt content); but I haven't seen this from many other providers.

It's not really something you can do yourself either, unless you have assigned IP space and BGP in multiple locations.

For non-commercial folks, there are a couple of VPS providers that provide Anycast support. I personally have not used them, so I can not speak to how easy they have made it to configure.

I agree with your concerns around letting a CDN see traffic. In my workplace, we are not allowed to pass dynamic traffic through CDN's for that very concern that our customers share with you.
