You can still access these sites using a VPN like Tunnel Bear, or a VPN browser like Opera

Important: PagerDuty.com seems affected by this outage. So keep a real good eye on your graphs today -- you might not receive the alert.

pagerduty has switched to AWS + 4 different root TLDS:

$ host -t NS pagerduty.com

pagerduty.com name server ns-219.awsdns-27.com.

pagerduty.com name server ns-739.awsdns-28.net.

pagerduty.com name server ns-1198.awsdns-21.org.

pagerduty.com name server ns-1569.awsdns-04.co.uk.

I think I'm satisfied.

I think that many of the IP addresses that are involved in this DDoS attack can be found in the BlackList database.

As example

https://cleantalk.org/blacklists There are 2 084 161 IP's blacklisted.

It seems incredibly misguided to plug an IP address into hosts from a forum post. Is there an official source from GitHub?

All this talk about redundancy, real-time apps, scalable architecture and and a "simple" DDOS against DNS architecture brings half of the internet down. Honestly did nobody think about having a spare dns at some other company? or even backup dns server exactly for a situation like that?

From where I'm looking at the internet (central Europe), I don't notice anything. Maybe your internet on the other side of the Atlantic is broken, ours seems to be working fine. ;-) Edit: Looks like the eastern part of the USA is affected: https://cloudharmony.com/status-for-dyn

Things are down here on the west coast too...
