For the site itself that's totally fine, and the status page is separate as it should be, too.
Fair. Some service recently had their status page hosted on the same server that went down, that was funny.
Single point of failure - we all shouldn’t trust CF alone anymore...

Great, now we can't even disable HTTP proxy to allow traffic directly to AWS :/
Point your DNS back to your actual host? Might be the only short term solution, though DNS propagation times kinda rule that out :/
So it seems... Even https://cloudflare.com/ itself is down
More importantly, their admin dashboard is down. It's impossible to bypass their "orange cloud" proxies and send traffic directly to our hosting. That they can't flip a switch and have their nameservers send dash.cloudflare.com to a separate piece of redundant infrastructure is mind-boggling.

change the nameserver at the registrar to someone else
So what should the ideal redundancy plan be here? If you can't log into the CDN provider and they are down do you you just have a second one ready (and paid for) and then log into your registrar and be ready to switch to that secondary CDN provider in this scenario? Or is there some sort of load balancing / routing solution between CDN's that I don't know about / understand?
If you use Cloudflare nameservers, you have to change to new nameservers, wait for that to propogate, and then wait for clients cached records TTLs to expire. So it will be a major disruption no matter what you do.
Good. I'm tired of people not learning that trusting a single gateway with 50% of the internet is bad. Yes, I know, free DDOS protection. There has to be another way of doing this, some mesh based DDOS protection or so.
