New edge ranges 216.198.79.0/24 + 64.29.17.0/24 unreachable from Morocco (AS36925), legacy works

Adding a Morocco data point to the reports from Brazil (thread 43890) and Oman (threads 45999, 46104, 46414).

Domain: meltswell.com (project bakesea-app), previously resolving via vercel-dns-017.com to the new anycast ranges.

Since 2026-07-29, multiple users in Morocco on AS36925 (Meditel / Orange Morocco) get connection timeouts on the domain. At least two other Moroccan users on other connections reproduced it. The site was serving normally worldwide the whole time, and *.vercel.app URLs load fine from the same affected network.

Per-IP test from Casablanca, AS36925 (curl --resolve www.meltswell.com:443:, HTTPS):

216.198.79.1 → TCP timeout
216.198.79.65 → TCP timeout
64.29.17.1 → TCP timeout
64.29.17.65 → TCP timeout
76.76.21.21 → 200 OK (~0.3s)
66.33.60.130 → 200 OK (~0.3s)

So both new ranges are fully blackholed from this carrier while the legacy edge works perfectly.

Traceroute to 216.198.79.1 dies inside the carrier network and never reaches Vercel:

2 196.118.0.3
3 10.43.82.205
4 10.43.82.206
5 * * * (silence to max hops)

Workaround applied and confirmed: repointed DNS to the legacy records (apex A 76.76.21.21, www CNAME cname.vercel-dns.com). Service in Morocco restored within minutes.

Two asks:

  1. Please check peering/reachability of 216.198.79.0/24 and 64.29.17.0/24 from Moroccan carriers (Meditel AS36925, and possibly Maroc Telecom/inwi). Morocco is our primary market.
  2. Until then, please confirm staying on the legacy records is supported long-term, since the dashboard recommends migrating to exactly the ranges that are unreachable from here.

i had the same issue. Thanks for the solution. any update from vercel on this?

Had the same issue.

replace the existing records with Vercel’s documented general-purpose values:

@      A       76.76.21.21
www    CNAME   cname.vercel-dns-0.com.

wait for it to update (10-20min)

hanks bro, this saved my day
