My Node.js/Express application fetches some data from a remote web site.
No authorization is requested from this public site.
Try it at
https://cartes.sopfeu.qc.ca/risk-zonesEverything works correctly when running locally or opening url from a browser.
However when deploying on Railway, fetching fails with a 403 error.
Note that this behaviour is new since a few weeks ago.
I did not notice it as I was away for the last 2 months.
Node.js version v18.17.1
App version 2.6.5, Staging

Looks like they are blocking requests coming from GCP IP addresses, there would not be anything Railway can do about that, you would need to get in contact with sopfeu.

BTW, my domain names are (where) managed by Gogle.
Could this problem be caused by the recent Google domain changes transfered to Squarespace?
My app has been working for over than a year now and suddenly it broke just aroun the same time as the Google domain change.

I'm not sure how you think an external service returning 403 has something to do with your own domains, but regardless you should never have been using google domains as they (and now squarespace) don't support root level cnames, you should be using Cloudflare.

Thanks I will look into that as I need to review all my domains since the Google transfer.
