cad.onshape.com is blocked in Russia

Dmitry_GolovkinDmitry_Golovkin Member Posts: 22 ✭✭
Hello,
Russian government blocks ip addresses which contain "illegal" information. The ip 18.202.251.197 is blocked because some time ago there was a website which Russian government didn't like.
I could't find a way to make them unblock this address.
so we have to use VPN services to access Onshape which is slow and inconvenient.
Isn't it possible to assign another ip address for cad.onshape.com for Russia? 

Best regards,
Dmitry

    Hi @Dmitry_Golovkin. The list of blocked Russian IPs continues to change. They are generally blocking AWS IPs by range and not just specific ones. Our IPs change on a regular basis, but they often are in the blocked ranges.

    I think a VPN is your best option.

    Most of the time cad-usw2.onshape.com works good enough without vpn.

    Using the "cad-usw2" address is highly discouraged. It is only useful in specific cases. It may hurt your performance and may hurt your availability in the case of a failure.
