Hey, just wanted to bump this post as I’m also experiencing this issue.
I’m with Telstra in the greater Sydney region.

I can’t wait to be able to send friend requests again :’)

Hello @byc14 and @Xantenius! I just attempted to reproduce this using a VPN and wasn’t able to. Can you confirm if you’re still seeing this issue? Thanks!
