I've deployed a Django backend on Railway, and the generated URL returns a 404 error on access. However, no logs are generated in the service dashboard, which suggests the request isn’t reaching my app container. I’ve already verified port binding (0.0.0.0:$PORT), disabled ad blockers, and confirmed it's not a CORS or CSRF issue. It works on some networks (like Airtel) but fails on others. Any idea what could cause this edge-level routing failure?

Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:
🧵 Internal Networking Issue: Prometheus Cannot Connect to Django App Despite Correct Configuration
🧵 Application failed to respond after successful deployment - FastAPI
If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Can you please confirm if you configure healthcheckup endpoint, is it working? https://station.railway.com/questions/node-js-service-failing-to-deploy-with-s-dc58e402#mk2w

Yes the endpoints are working with certain ISPs like airtel and others.
These are updated endpoints

Himanshu, can you confirm whether you are only seeing this error on Mozilla Firefox, or any other browser too? If yes, then please provide of the same browser window too, & provide the public networking snippet of the Railway deployment

It isn't just on mozilla, for instance this is the screenshot of chrome. Also the public networking screenshots are attached

Oh, let me have a look. Which ISP is posing issues, specifically? Because I tried it with 2 ISPs, and it worked fine
Could you provide the initial configuration lines for your server

Himanshu, the best thing to bypass this ISP constraint is to use CUSTOM DOMAINS (sub-domain to be specific)
You can refer to my post to get started: https://station.railway.com/questions/dns-configuration-issue-for-custom-domai-10696e8a#fcrf

To be specific with JIO , and many wifi routers.

I own the domain choolhachowka.com and the cname is set to it for the frontend deployed to vercel so as a custom domain like dev-apichoolhachowka.com can I use it by defining on custom domain in railway and setting the cname or have to buy another?

As mentioned in this post:
Create a subdomain like: dev-api.choolhachowka.com (subdomain & the domain should be separated by a dot)
For the deployed service in Railway, select it, go to Settings -> Public Networking -> Add Custom Domain -> Provide the subdomain (without https or www) -> Provide the correct PORT
Then a CNAME record would be shown to you, its key would be the subdomain name & there would be a unique value. Copy the @DNS record, and after sometime the same would be fetched by the Rilway deployment.
Do refer the post that I linked here, it contains everything. I hope that helps you

It should be dev-api.choolhachowka.com (dot should be there between the subdomain name and domain), you are missing that
Please provide the screenshot of the domain where you have the subdomain being listed. It's a straight-forward process
