Summary

If I try connecting to the app using metamask or injector everything works fine. but whenever I use anything related to WalletConnect like Trust Wallet mobile or Wallet Connect itself it keeps loading and on mobile, a popup comes up with the message "declined".

This issue got reported by users of my platform and a couple of them said everything worked fine when they used VPN but it mostly affected people from Nigeria.

Everything was working fine before with the same packages until recently.
