They said they were scheduling some dashboard maintainence for today. Perhaps this had some unforseen side effect?
This was not a Cloudflare-specific problem (see my comment above). Maintenance was yesterday not today and was completed.

#12Telia had problems hitting many service providers. Not a Cloudflare problem per se. Plenty of non-Cloudflare stuff affected like Reddit, AWS, Fastly, ... Check out the dip in requests to Reddit: http://www.redditstatus.com/
That dip looks normal for that time of the day, btw. Click on the "Week" tab.
That's not the dip I'm talking about. Look again.

#13Idea: let's proxy half the internet through a private, proprietary service! We can get people to give us valid SSL certificates for their sites, too, and let's fuck up Tor while we're at it. We can totally handle it, right? Oh, and we need to pay for it somehow, so let's go the venture capital approach and just pretend we won't eventually hit a growth cap and ruin our company Twitter-style when we get there. The craz…
While I entirely agree with everything you said, it's worth pointing out that Cloudflare isn't really at fault for this particular outage.
Everyone is to blame here. Equal parts Cloudflare and everyone who uses their service.

#15Why is this on the front page? It seems like whatever happened had nothing to do with cloudflare. Can a mod remove this, as a status page is not news?

I can get to subreddits - but not reddit.com for the last hour or so.

I love a good pitchfork and torch session as much as the next rabble-rouser, but let's remember Cloudflare got popular because they _solved*_ a hard problem: how to deal with a DDOS, as a small or medium size website. Cloudflare's essentially a for-profit insurance pool for bandwidth. No individual site has enough bandwidth to handle a DDOS, nor can afford it, but pooled together, many sites can afford a service that can handle individual DDOS attacks. Even if you want to solve the problem without a profit-motive, you still end up with a solution that is going to look very similar to Cloudflare.

#19Obligatory comment that I (and others) make every single time: can we please for 's sake stop centralizing everything? We are literally throwing away all the benefits of a mostly-decentralized internet for the sake convenience.

Cloudflare has a freemium model, so maybe you should find a better comparison than Twitter.
