Well, that depends in which IP-Range your Server is. I did some research and got answers from several other users at Hetzner in different DCs in FSN, NBG and even HEL experiencing the 429's.
There is just a simple reason why Google is blacklisting these IP-Ranges: A lot of users are daily reaching there API/Upload Limits (at least 8 out of 10!) and running into the 403's. If more and more users are showing such behaviour Google will blacklist more and more IP-Ranges.
To avoid such Problems there are normally some simple rules every user should follow:
- Do NOT run into your limits every day!
- Do NOT share your things on your personal or Teamdrives!
- Do NOT hammer the API with tons of requests around the clock!
3 simple rules .... and if everyone would obeying them ... we wouldn´t have the problem now.
Just fyi: I tried to switch the routing of my google traffic back to the hetzner network ... and gues what: Still getting the 429's today.
Yes, there is:
You just had to look into the post before yours.
- Rent a good, cheap VPS with at least 1Gbps Bandwidth and enough included Traffic
- Setup a wireguard network using this: How to install WireGuard VPN on Ubuntu Server - MMOAPI.COM
- Once you´ve got your wireguard network running add the following networks to your clients wireguard configuration AllowedIPs:
IPv4: 142.250.0.0/15, 172.217.0.0/16
IPv6: 2a00:1450:4000::/37
Done.
Now you can route all your traffic for Google through your VPS using wireguard.
