Can I use ANY vercel ip for my A record when connecting a custom apex domain? The ones issued to me by default (both 216.198.79.1 and 76.76.21.21) are blocked on Russian cellular for some reason.
The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for bonus points.
You can also use v0 to narrow down the possibilities.
Nope, that’s not it. We went through the whole thing, everything is configured correctly, my website is reachable via Wi-Fi or with VPN. The problem is only on russian cellular because of the ip ban.
Hey @valofey!
As far as I know, Vercel doesn’t let you choose custom IP addresses for A records. The default IPs (76.76.21.21 and 76.76.21.164) are automatically managed by Vercel’s infrastructure and can’t be changed.
If those IPs are being blocked in certain regions, one alternative is to use a CNAME record instead of A records. By pointing your domain to your Vercel deployment URL (for example, your-project.vercel.app), Vercel can handle the IP routing dynamically, which often helps avoid regional blocking issues.
I have the same problem. Neither the domain nor the subdomains work on Russian mobile networks. The only one subdomain that works was pointed to a remote server. @pawlean, could you explain more verbosely what should be done?
What they mean is setting up a redirect to a vercel domain the same way you probably set the redirect from yourwebsite.ru to www.yourwebsite.ru. So both yourwebsite.ru and www.yourwebsite.ru are redirecting to yourwebsite.vercel.app that is not geoblocked.
This can work, but doesn’t look good. We decided to self-host for now and maybe in the future move back if the issue is somehow resolved.
It may be worth going through this debugging guide:
