Cloudflare was down • Hacker News Board

this is great, i already have bad enough internet (rural area with 3 to 6 digits latency and average 4 digits, barely a few kilobytes of speed) and having both google smearing everywhere their recaptchas that are not really friendly toward low speed internet / non chrome users and cloudflare proxying half the internet but lately not really doing a great job at keeping a consistent uptime does not help much

at least i am glad hn exists, it is the only thing that loads everywhere

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.

a DNS issue wouldn't cripple all of the internet at once, with all the caching.

Yep, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean and 1.1.1.1 down for me. I thought it was my internet and was so confused for a bit there.

Having DNS issues. Had to switch to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) as 1.1.1.1/etc were not resolving anything.

Same. Even then, a bunch of sites are down. Maybe only ones behind Cloudflare? So far I've been trying to hit the various down detector sites and none of them will load. Google, Reddit, Hackernews are all fine.

From what little I've been able to gather, anything using Cloudflare's DNSes are down.

Just got a whole bunch of alerts that my services are down. Tried logging into Digital Ocean (who it seems uses Cloudflare) to get it fixed. Could not access their dashboard to reroute things.
