Supabase Connectivity from the Etisalat & Other networks in the UAE

It would be great if supabase can provide different domain Supabase URL for UAE affected users.Thanks

I am in India, but my client is in UAE (users).

Tho it's not a problem from subabase side, but if can provide fallback URL that would be great.

I agree. We need something rather than nothing

For the time being you can try setting up a reverse proxy. A prebuilt solution is linked above

Thank you, I saw that you posted this. I’ve deployed both of my apps through loveable mostly therefore my level of expertise to apply this pre built solution maybe lacking however I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

inder•9/5/25, 6:26 PM

You can choose render to deploy. It has a free tier and takes just a few clicks. And you can always post your queries here.

rogiigor.•9/5/25, 7:12 PM

Thank you very much. I really appreciate that since my apps are live and currently they’re down… I’ll see if I can deploy it tomorrow and if I get stuck I’ll post here. Cheers

Create a fork of the proxy repo on github

inder•9/7/25, 6:08 AM

Iinder 1. Create a fork of the proxy repo on github

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:09 AM

Ok I'm here righnt now... Can try.

inder•9/7/25, 6:10 AM

Let me know once you're done with the above steps

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:13 AM

Ok I beleive I've done both, do you want to talk privately, I may want to use your services aport from this anyway?

inder•9/7/25, 6:14 AM

I believe we should chat about it this publicly so that anyone having trouble deploying can follow the steps

inder•9/7/25, 6:15 AM

Click on New button in the top right and select web service

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:15 AM

Not a problem, I'm happy to help the clueless peeps likemyself.

Iinder 3. Click on New button in the top right and select web service

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:15 AM

Ok done

inder•9/7/25, 6:16 AM

Choose git and enter the url of your forked repo

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:17 AM

Which of these options are you referring to when you say choose "git"?

inder•9/7/25, 6:18 AM

You can choose either option now, either connect with github or use public git repo tab and enter the url

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:19 AM

ok I beleive I've done that

inder•9/7/25, 6:22 AM

Now you should be at config screen.
Here enter any name you like this will be used in the url render provides.
choose the region which is closest to your supabase instance and your users. For example if your users and instance is closer to UAE then choose singapore.
make sure plan is free
you will see an option to provide environment variables. Inside there for the variable name Enter SUPABASE_URL and the value should be your supabase instance url

inder•9/7/25, 6:23 AM

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:23 AM

Do I need to click on this "proxy-supabase-cloud" to setup. This is waht I see on my screen rn

inder•9/7/25, 6:24 AM

Yes choose the repo

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:27 AM

Ok named it, chose Singapore

Regarding the below point;

you will see an option to provide environment variables. Inside there for the variable name
Enter SUPABASE_URL and the value should be your supabase instance url

Where do I get this information from?

inder•9/7/25, 6:28 AM

This supabase instance url will be the url you were making requests to so far.

inder•9/7/25, 6:29 AM

Look in your code. Is your app built with nextjs?

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:31 AM

Ok found it.

My app is built with Lovable so I believe that he app is built with react...

Does it matter for any settings I may need to change for this web service?

inder•9/7/25, 6:32 AM

No it doesn't matter. I was just going to ask you to search for specific terms in your codebase based on the framework used.

inder•9/7/25, 6:33 AM

Enter this url in the env variables. Refer to the screenshot above.

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:33 AM

if i share my supabase URL here, is that something I shouldn't do?

Also I need the proxy to be FAST, I hear others complaining that it's slow on the free plan, should I upgrade the plan?

I'll potentially have 100s of people using the app at the same time as of tomorrow...

inder•9/7/25, 6:36 AM

You can share it if you want. Thats totally upto you. Some users don't share as they are using proxies and don't want the users to know their instance url.

Choosing the closest region is the first step. But there will always be some latency.

inder•9/7/25, 6:37 AM

After completing the setup you should test the speed

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:37 AM

Choosing the starter or the Standard plan, doesn't do anything to help the latency?

inder•9/7/25, 6:39 AM

It provides more bandwidth and better machine. It will help you handle more requests simultaneously but you should look to upgrade if you start to see some issues.

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:40 AM

Ok and once I click on "Deploy web services" is there any easy on and off swithc so to speak?

inder•9/7/25, 6:40 AM

Yes you can simply suspend it after deployed

inder•9/7/25, 6:40 AM

Have you entered the url in the variables?

inder•9/7/25, 6:41 AM

Share a screenshot just to be sure. You can hide the instance id

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:41 AM

inder•9/7/25, 6:42 AM

No i meant show the url just hide the part showing your instance id. Like i have done in the screenshot above

inder•9/7/25, 6:42 AM

Good to go

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:42 AM

Ok I've deployed...

inder•9/7/25, 6:42 AM

You can delete the screenshot now if you don't want your instance url to be public at this stage.

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:43 AM

Mate, you are a legend... Let's see how we go with this...

inder•9/7/25, 6:44 AM

Wait for the deployment to complete. You should see a url on the top left.

xxxxx.onrender.com

rogiigor.•9/7/25, 6:44 AM

Says live... does that mean were good to go?
