There's an issue with our site where many users who log onto our site get a connection refused/connection timed out error. It depends on the wifi they are using. The issue is a conflicting c name and a record on railway.

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your DNS configuration?

the domain works fine for me
On some networks it doesn't connect properly. It's only for this domain (aibverify.com), we tried it on other domains and it works fine. Conversations with godaddy and Coudflare support told us that the issue is conficting c name and a name records on railway.
below are the errors, let me know if I can clarify anything:
curl -v https://aibverify.com/

there's not much we can help with here as this is not a platform issue but an issue with networking on your side, as previously mentioned, the domain works for me without issue

@Fragly - does it work for you?
2 years ago
yes, works fine for me
Would you be able to help change the a name? I've contacted ISPs, Cloudflare, Go daddy. They've all said its a conflicting c name and a record, and I need to switch the a name
2 years ago
you should not be using an A type to begin with, you need to only be using a CNAME, the cname you where given when you added the domain to railway
This is what I thought as well, but I was told otherwise. It doesn't let me add the a name to cloudflare to begin with, but they said it's because it is misconfigured. Have you ever worked with someone who has had a similar error, where they are unable to access a website through certain Wifis (ISPs) and have been through other?
Thank you for your help. Railway support has been the most repsonsive as opposed to other parties I've been corresponding with.

show me the domains in your railway service please

all looks good to me, there are no issues there, and there are no A types at the root

if the domain doesnt work, than its something to do with the ISP, and theres nothing railway, cloudflare, hostinger, etc can do about that
So we tested that out as well - we changed the domain name to "dealerhedge.com" - all other settings were kept the exact same, and it worked
All the people that were running into the issue likely because of the ISP before, were able to access the same site via dealerhedge.com, but when we switched back to aibverify.com - it stopped working

im sorry, i'd love to help, but that is beyond our control

theres no issues on the railway or cloudflare side of things
I understand thank you anyway. Do you know of anybody else we can contact to fix this issue? We've contacted cloudflare, go daddy, and you guys at Railway

your ISP, since this is not an issue with any of the platforms you just mentioned

may i ask where you are located?
NYC, my team is located in Austin, and LA. It works when we switch to mobile data, but doesn't when we use Spectrum/verizon

are you using the default isp dns?
2 years ago
try not doing that
We can switch our Dns's but will that solve our issue? If we switch our dns's and it works for the three of us, it won't solve the issue for other users who try to log into our website but have the default ISP dns's (exhibit A: my parents, who are in California, have tried to log in and it doesn't work for them, and they don't know what a DNS even is - they will also tell me it's "too complex" if i try to explain it to them)

its a test, while it doesnt fix the issue, it helps you understand the problem

can you also define "doesnt work"
We've checked, and even changed SSL certificate on cloudflare with no luck
It's also a different host of error msges, my team gets this, while I get the above:

hey, could you maybe try disabling Cloudflare's protection? maybe that will narrow down the cause
Totally, we did try that initially, but it's been a while and can try it again
2 years ago
yep, try that, wait a while for the dns cache to go away

do you have Universal SSL enabled?

and then do a curl

I would enable always use https, but other than that, this isn't a problem with the railway platform
