Unable to Download Postman on Windows 64-bit - South Africa (ZA)

Attempted to download the Windows 64-bit executable for Postman directly via Firefox, Edge, and Chrome while in South Africa (ZA) (Download Postman | Get Started for Free). The download failed across all browsers. Reattempted after a few days using Firefox, but the issue persisted. After researching user-reported issues, I tried downloading via an EU proxy, which succeeded without any problems.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Attempt to download the Windows 64-bit Postman installer from the official site while located in South Africa.
  • Observe that the download fails across multiple browsers.
  • Use a proxy server based in the EU.
  • Observe that the download completes successfully.

Expected Behaviour:
The download should complete without requiring a proxy.

Actual Behaviour:
Downloads fail if downloading from South Africa (ZA) (not sure about other domains)

Additional Notes:

  • The issue appears to be location-specific (ZA).
  • No error messages provided during the download attempts.

Workaround TL;DR:
If you’re unable to download Postman from a specific domain, use a free EU-based proxy to complete the download.

Hi @rheeder. Welcome to the Postman Community :postman_logo:

Were you eventually able to download the Desktop application?

Hi, yes, thanks @gbadebo-bello. I used an EU proxy, and it downloaded fine. I just wanted to log the bug.
