Error when submitting merge request changes: You are currently viewing from a blocked IP address or country

I can visit gitlab.com just fine, but when I try to modify or create a new Merge Request. The same is happening on my colleagues computer. Or external ip address is ..., we have also tried using our VPN, but to no avail. I see nothing on status.gitlab.com and have reached out to support, but the automated message tells me that I won’t get support (free plan).

I’m not sure what to do next, can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks!

Got a reply from support. There was an issue: GitLab System Status
