### Customize DERP map
The DERP map offered to clients can be customized with a [dedicated YAML-configuration
file](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/blob/main/derp-example.yaml). Typical use-cases involve:
file](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/blob/main/derp-example.yaml). This allows to modify previously loaded DERP
maps fetched via URL or to offer your own, custom DERP servers to nodes.
- Running a fleet of [custom DERP servers](https://tailscale.com/kb/1118/custom-derp-servers)
- Excluding or choosing specific regions from the Tailscale's list of free-to-use [DERP
servers](https://tailscale.com/kb/1232/derp-servers)
=== "Remove specific DERP regions"
The free-to-use [DERP servers](https://tailscale.com/kb/1232/derp-servers) are organized into regions via a region
ID. You can explicitly disable a specific region by setting its region ID to `null`. The following sample
`derp.yaml` disables the New York DERP region (which has the region ID 1):
```yaml title="derp.yaml"
regions:
1: null
```
Use the following configuration to serve the default DERP map (excluding New York) to nodes:
```yaml title="config.yaml" hl_lines="6 7"
derp:
server:
enabled: false
urls:
- https://controlplane.tailscale.com/derpmap/default
paths:
- /etc/headscale/derp.yaml
```
=== "Provide custom DERP servers"
The following sample `derp.yaml` references two custom regions (`custom-east` with ID 900 and `custom-west` with ID 901)
with one custom DERP server in each region. Each DERP server offers DERP relay via HTTPS on tcp/443, support for captive

The embedded DERP server can also be enabled and is automatically added to the custom DERP map.
Independent of the custom DERP map, you may choose to [enable the embedded DERP server and have it automatically added
to the custom DERP map](#enable-embedded-derp).
