Were seeing this as an IP from Ukraine. At this time we don’t allow traffic from Ukraine. :slightly_smiling_face:

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: have you seen the screen shot ?
this is not an ukrainian IP but FRENCH !
scaleway is a compagny part of company called “FREE” which is wide world known for being french
can you show me a tool that show the ip as ukrainian ?
here are some links to some random tools that all show a french geolocation:

May I remind you that we are losing money each day because of your faulty service on this matter

Were seeing from Maxmind that its originating from Ukraine. :slightly_smiling_face:

ok maxmind is wrong then, what about all the other site I showed you ? you only use on source…a bit poor to take a decision which can have dramatic consequences no ? By the way, why no notification in my dashboard BEFORE cutting the access ?
anyway we changed the IP so things are fine now but this is not cool nor very profesionnal !

I’m reaching out to the team to see if they have more information. :slightly_smiling_face:
