ISP is Blocking requests to supabase backend!

Hi guys, Im located in Dubai. The local ISP has introduced new rules aparently, around 2 weeks ago. The frontend cant connect to the backend as the URL supabase.co where the backend is hosted is blocked.

My lovable app works and connects to supabase only when I enable VPN via Wifi or Cellular. Which is unacceptable for local users that this app is trageted for.

Anyone faced the same issue?

On the other hand supabase.com works fine for the dashboard access.

Thank you it works well, i have one question though if i want to self host supabase in my own uae server would it be possible? Moving everything too with it

Yes you can. Also you can switch between cloud and self-hosted anytime. I'd recommend using my self-hosted script or if you're cloning the supabase repo then make this change first https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/37179
