I noticed on Saturday I was looking at my subscriptions on Apple app store and it keeps saying cannot connect I tried on another device with a custom dns and it was working fine so I went and changed dns on phone from auto to sparks other 122.56.237.1 and that wasn’t working either so tried 210.55.111.1 and that worked until today by brother and mother are having the same problem, cloudflare and google dns are working fine as well if I turn on Apple private relay
Does anyone know if there’s a problem

Just in case you've not officially called us and logged a fault, I will raise this internally and get it sorted.

Just in the last few mins I can now resolve support.apple.com from both 122.56.237.1 and 210.55.111.1

Can you please check if this is now working for everyone?

@cbrpilot just tried with dns on auto and still can’t get support.apple.com or get the subscription tap on the App Store, tried 210.55.111.1 Apple support page loaded up but App Store subscriptions still wont. Just tried App Store while I was typing and it worked so it’s intermittent
Tried 122.56.237.1 Apple support page works App Store subscription tap still not

Thanks Hemi for the confirmation - it does seem intermittent as you say (hence when I was seeing it working again I was wondering if it was fixed already).

I am in contact with the teams who are working on the issue, and resolution is under action. Hopefully it will be sorted pronto.

Thanks for the update Hemi. It looks like the fix is a difficult one and still in progress with the appropriate support teams.

I am hoping to provide an update tomorrow morning when back at work.

Hi all, I have an update here. We believe the issue is in a 3rd party network, and we have put in a temporary routing change to avoid that network for this traffic.

Can you please confirm that the issue is resolved now?
