I’ve recently switched providers, they’ve assigned me a static, however, I’m having trouble actually downloading Slack through snapcraft, it shows the error ‘snap “slack” not found’, I do not have any reason to believe Slack would be blocking Australians in the store.
Using a VPN connecting to another AU provider, the download works with no error, which leads me to believe this is either an ISP routing issue, or potentially a snapcraft store issue. I dont run any fancy Network or DNS config other than using Cloudflares public 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1
I’ve spent hours trying to diagnose this, the only thing I’ve come across that would make sense is a reference in ‘Freecad Snap MIA?’ that potentially snapcrafts geoip database may need to be updated?
Any insight would be helpful on this, thanks!
I’m on x86_64
geoiplookup reports my public IP tagged as AU, which is correct.
