the docs is not working in egypt #5286
Description
Description
As a developer in Egypt trying to access the React Native documentation, when I open the website without a VPN, the documentation does not load or work properly. However, when I enable a VPN, the documentation works as expected.
It would be helpful if the React Native documentation were accessible from Egypt without requiring a VPN.

Hey @EyadTifa, we got some reports about this before, and someone found out that most Egypt ISP blocks Netlify, here is a detailed post about it, with a suggested workaround (custom DNS resolver):
We cannot do much about this issue, besides moving to a different hosting partner/service, but they might be blocked in other countries for some reason. For now I would recommend just using custom DNS resolver, but we will explore switching hosting provider in the future.
