In a separate update dated February 25, Supabase said, “If you’re using JioFiber in India, you may need to use a VPN to connect to Supabase, or switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1. Supabase infrastructure remains fully operational—the issue appears to be an ISP-level block. We have reached out to Jio.”
“We have received some reports that other ISPs in India may be impacted by access limitations. We continue to follow up through all available channels to resolve this issue. We have engaged multiple teams at Supabase communicating with multiple entities in India in an effort to do all we can to resolve the access issues our users in India are experiencing,” the company later clarified.
Supabase advised affected customers to report the issue to their internet service providers and to use an alternative DNS provider or a VPN as a temporary workaround. It said updates would be posted on its status page.
