Is the mobile data provider Jio by any chance? They seem to block us.

There are 2 possibilities :

  • Jio is blocking DNS resolution for Railway : You can just edit your DNS servers to use Cloudflare's ones (1.1.1.1 main, 1.0.0.1 secondary) or any other you would like to
  • Jio is blocking Railway IPs : It's a bit more complicated since you will need to use a VPN or change your ISP 😕

However the DNS blocking is more likely to happen 🙂

I thought of a third solution that works for everyone without any client configuration 🙂

You can setup a Cloudflare tunnel to your service using Cloudflare Zero Trust and this template : https://railway.com/deploy/cf-tunnel

Then add a public subdomain to your tunnel. It requires your own domain but you can find one very cheap (sometimes even free but take care of the scam !)

With this solution, all your traffic goes through Cloudflare proxy and will not be blocked ! (Keep in mind that Cloudflare only allows HTTP and WS traffic over his proxy unless you have the enterprise plan)

manilkumar, the thing is that Indian ISPs are blocking the requests made to railway.com domain, and that is the reason you are unable to access the app via JIO. You can do these 2 things:

  1. Use a custom domain for your service/application, so that it doesn't get blocked by any ISP worldwide. For that, you can follow my post: https://station.railway.com/questions/dns-configuration-issue-for-custom-domai-10696e8a#fcrf
  2. The other thing is that the ISPs can only block the browser requests to the service. If your deployed app is just an API/backend thing that needs to be called by a part of your application, rather than a UI endpoint that users have to necessarily enter in a browser tab, you are good to go without CUSTOM DOMAINS. You can try/call the API via POSTMAN, and they would succeed every time, irrespective of the ISP used.

I hope that helps (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
