Prisma can't reach Planetscale behind a VPN

Bug description

When doing local development with a VPN on, I get this error:

Error: 
Invalid `prisma.playlist.findMany()` invocation:


  Can't reach database server at `{{    DB INFO HERE   }}`

This occurs on initial load of localhost for the app as well as Prisma studio. I can still connect to Planetscale just fine using the Pscale CLI. I am using ProtonVPN and tested with servers in US and Netherlands.

How to reproduce

1. Turn on a VPN
2. Start Application server
3. Go to wherever your app is loaded in localhost (or open Prisma Studio)
4. See error

Expected behavior

I should be able to connect to Planetscale without timing out.

Prisma information

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
  previewFeatures = ["referentialIntegrity"]
}
datasource db {
  provider = "mysql"
  url = env("DATABASE_URL")
  referentialIntegrity = "prisma"
}

model Video {
  id String @id
  lastUpdated DateTime @updatedAt
  name String
  viewCount String
  thumbnail String
  playlist Playlist @relation(fields: [playlistId], references: [id])
  playlistId Int

  @@index([playlistId])
}

model Playlist {
  id Int @id @default(autoincrement()) 
  youtubeId String?
  name String
  createdAt DateTime
  thumbnail String
  type PLAYLIST_TYPE
  videos Video[]
}

enum PLAYLIST_TYPE {
  PLAYLIST
  CHANNEL
}

Environment & setup

• OS: Windows
• Database: Planetscale
• Node.js version: Tested on both v17.5 and v16.3.1

Yes. I will close this issue and try to follow up elsewhere. Thanks for all the help.

Hello sorry for the late response. I was able to connect using MySQL Workbench but it works only when my VPN is off, similar to my experience with Prisma.
