Overriding DNS on Vercel

Help
1

For a while now, Vercel’s default IP address (76.76.21.21) has been inaccessible in certain regions like Nigeria. This has made websites hosted on Vercel, such as Hashnode and personal portfolios, inaccessible on native networks unless users switch to a VPN or Starlink.

Recently, I discovered that Vercel is accessible in Nigeria via the alternative IP address 76.76.21.241, but not through 76.76.21.21.

I tried updating the default IP address from 76.76.21.21 to 76.76.21.241. The toast notification mentioned that adding a custom IP would override the default and redirect traffic to 76.76.21.241. However, this doesn’t seem to be working as expected.

Can anyone provide some guidance on this?

Resolving this issue could save many Vercel users in Nigeria from unnecessary headaches.

Thanks,

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.

I know there are some folks working on this, but I don’t know the current status. I’ll check with them and update you when I know more.
