Operating large-scale anycast networks is challenging because client-to-site mappings often misalign with operator's expectation due to opaque inter-domain routing. We present AnyPro, the first system to unlock the full potential of AS-path prepending (ASPP), efficiently deriving globally optimal configurations to steer clients toward performance-optimal sites at scale. AnyPro first employs an efficient polling mechanism to identify all clients sensitive to ASPP. By analyzing the routing changes during the process, the system derives a set of ASPP constraints that guide client traffic toward the desired sites. We then formulate the anycast optimization problem as a constraint-based program and compute optimal ASPP configurations. Extensive evaluation on a global testbed with 20 PoPs demonstrates the effectiveness of AnyPro: it reduces the 90th percentile latency by 37.7% compared to baseline configurations without ASPP. Furthermore, we show that AnyPro can be integrated with PoP-level anycast optimization techniques to achieve additional performance gains.
