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?

can you go into more details please? "not reaching railway backend" is not too helpful
Its very weird for us also. For some IPs it seems like the backend isn't responding or is inaccessible

they are likely behind some kind of local firewall

they would need to use a VPN
issues suddenly come up. for a long time they were able to login, suddenly they are unable to access

theres nothing railway can do about users who are behind a firewalls

im sorry but i would not have an answer for why whoever is controlling the firewall they are behind has added railway to the block list

im sorry you are facing this but it would be out of the control of railway
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

please be more specific when you say not resolving as that could mean many different things

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
