Hi In the last couple of month, I noticed that a few Russian users complained that my app isn’t working in Russia. This is very strange since all my other users can connect, I can connect, and Postman monitor doesn’t see any problems.
So to investigate this issue, I found a Russian version of Postman monitoring to do a serer check from Russia and surely enough - Connection timed out.
I went a step further and rented a virtual server in Russia and ran a few tests:
nslookup resolved the correct IP, however any GET / POST requests just times out:
curl: (7) Failed to connect to <domain> port 443: Connection timed out
Has anyone had something like this? Thanks

Hello,
What you could try doing is running a
traceroutefrom your Russian server to your domain name. That way you would be able to see where exactly the connection is timing out.Also if you are using a CDN like CloudFlare make sure that there are no Geo restrictions rules there.
Another thing that you could check is the firewall rules on your droplet itself.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
