I did some rerouting of clients from Russia (who have geoip=RU). In detail I setup load balancer outside of Google (because Russia gouvernment blocks Google/Amazon). But its used only for request which go to www.windy.com/node.windy.com. I will prepare solutions for mywindy.com and api.windy.com.
Hello all,
plese can You provide more information?
Your IP adress. Try https://www.windy.com/debug then "User data" and finnaly in section "My geoIP location" I would know what is written in IP and cc .
Please, try to open https://www.windy.com/51.507/-0.128?50.721,-0.128,7,m:e4Zaf8W At the bottom of the page, there has to be grafical forecast. Can you see it? Or do you have some 403 error there?
How the 403 error page looks like? Is there some Google logo?
Notes: We have to investigate more detail of yours 403 errors because we know 2 issues:
So we have to exactly know where the problems come from.

Problem was fixed. Thank you for report.
I'm going to switch to direct chat to investigate your connection.

We decided to help you if we can. I did some routing tricks which would bypass these blocations. Please @kirmak try it again.
Next link contains information about google blocks: https://blog.kedare.net/blog/my-pov-on-google-cloud.html
There is message from google support ticket:
Google restricts access to some of its business services in certain countries or regions, such as Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
After reviewing your case as well as our documentation, I can confirm that we block access to the Google Cloud Platform services for certain countries which includes Iran.
The decision to block or not block traffic for services for a particular country is a decision made by the US Government and interpreted by our legal team, and then implemented in our infrastructure.
Our technical troubleshooting skills do not include legal analysis and as you can visit the following URL for more information on the topic. US Department of Treasury, Iran Sanctions:
http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Pages/iran.aspx
We use Google as a infrascructure provider. I found, that U.S. made a sanctions against Crimea. It's very sad (https://techcrunch.com/2015/01/23/google-joins-apple-others-cutting-off-crimea-blocks-adwords-adsense-google-play/)
I can only recommend you use some proxy servers (ie https://wonderproxy.com/ ).

Hi, thank you for report. Yes it was a bug on obsolete domain windyty.com. Please rewrite your bookmarks from www.windyty.com > www.windy.com

Fixed. After moving to new distribution model of forecast data there was a bug.
Thank a lot for feedback
