It could be the way Microsoft routes traffic to your server. If they’re hosting you on a local IP then it is possible that discourse sees all requests originating from your server’s public gateway IP.

You’d have to configure your server to be assigned a public IP directly in order to resolve this or contact Microsoft for help.
