Some user requests not reaching railway backend

Our main app is deployed on railway and for some users the requests don't even reach backend. Users have tried multiple accounts, devices and even internet connections. Is railway blocking some IPs? If yes how to unblock them?

Its very weird for us also. For some IPs it seems like the backend isn't responding or is inaccessible

Anyway we can verify this?

redeploying would change IP and if user is able to sign in maybe that should confirm?

Local firewall could be likely, but it's very weird that they were able to access the server and now they're not. I'll second Brody's suggestion to try a VPN, but come back if they're still unable to access it

Test with a VPN and report back

that seems like railway domains have been blocked by your DNS resolver, not exactly a firewall thing but still unfortunate all the same

use cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver and report back

Got solved by changing the backend url from railway domain name to ours
