We are seeing inconsistent resolutions on fppaco.org. sometimes it resolves to a 4.x address and sometimes a 50.x address. According to whois.net, their DNS servers are DYNect

Anyone with an app affected by this because you use Heroku's SSL endpoint can fix this by switching to SNI. Unfortunately Heroku's API is also affected. There is a workaround... just edit your hosts file to point to the proper ip addresses temporarily. add to /etc/hosts 23.21.149.112 api.heroku.com 107.21.99.123 ssl-doctor.heroku.com Then use Heroku CLI to switch your app to the new SNI endpoint heroku certs:add --ty…

Thanks a million, from me and the people who invested in my startup.

edit: apparently SNI isn't supported on legacy dynos.

Sendgrid support page is down as well https://support.sendgrid.com/hc/en-us

SendGrid's support is hosted on Zendesk, which is (unfortunately) still experiencing the outage. My company's doc site (also on Zendesk) is down too.

GitHub employee here. We're monitoring an incident with our upstream DNS provider: https://twitter.com/githubstatus/status/789433336083001344

Can we add a line to our /etc/hosts file with a hard-coded DNS entry to fix it in the meantime? What's the IP address?

Added these to my hosts file. Working fine as a temporary workaround.

Easy way to get around it for Github: https://www.apptic.me/blog/adding-github-to-your-hosts-file....

Same idea, just add the IPs to your hosts file.
