Another useless status site.

DNS is completely broken.

"All systems operational" in nice soothing green.

No, not so much.

That page still shows "Cloudflare System Status: All Systems Operational" for me, but it's definitely down for me. Along with 1.1.1.1, which is... bad .

For me it says "Minor System Outage" for about 0.1s and then shows "All Systems Operational".

Their status page says that everything is operational. So much for a status page when half of the internet breaks down.

Discord is entirely down right now, both the website and the app itself. Amusingly, a lot of the sites that normally track outages are also down, which made me think it was my internet at first. Downdetector, monitortheinternet, etc. Lots of other big sites that are down: Patreon, npmjs, DigitalOcean, Coinbase, Zendesk, Medium, GitLab (502), Fiverr, Upwork, Udemy Edit: 15 min later, looks like things are starting to…

I noticed discord being down, so I went to check downforeveryoneorjustme, also down. So I figured I'd check NANOG mailing list, also down :P

Cloudflare's DNS (1.1.1.1) is failing to respond to most/all queries, which I'm observing as the root cause of a bunch of connection issues (name lookup failure).

Interestingly the same domains don't show up on google's (8.8.8.8) DNS at all.

I don't think it's just Cloudflare; I just had a fun 10 minutes seeing servers start flipping on my Server monitoring service[1]. This has only happened once or twice per year, and is usually due to weird global DNS issues.

(To give an update, I'm seeing from my monitoring systems (about 15 points around the globe) sporadic outages for Microsoft, Apple, Reddit, Bing, Node.js, Twitter, Yahoo, and YouTube. And my own servers (not behind CF at all) are also flipping up and down. It started around 21:14 UTC.)

"All systems operational" What's the point of a status page if it doesn't reflect the real status... It's either the status page goes down with everything else or the status page is wrong. Great. EDIT: Looks like it's accurate now, 20 minutes later.

The point of the status page is so you can point to it for your five nines SLA and go "look? we were only down for one hour". As soon as the money relies on the metric, the metric will reflect the money.

More like the Internet is down.
