I don't understand the closing of issue https://github.com/covid-be-app/cwa-app-android/issues/87 , could you at least explain some of the reasoning?

Why would you put these kind of artificial restrictions in? This is a general-purpose app, why limit the possible ways the ip packets flow from a phone to the backend? Having traffic appear from non-European ip addresses might be a use case for a small number of users, but it's a legitimate use nonetheless.

Besides, could you at least put in a meaningful error message?
