For people who reports this is down, which country are you in? Because all the reported sites works flawless from Norway (Europe) :-)

Yup. 1.1.1.1 stopped responding as well.

"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.

Status pages are a marketing channel not a channel for developers most of the time. It most likely has to go through some layers before someone updates the status page.

340ms average latency to 1.1.1.1 and 47% packet loss. Many sites are down. But I guess that's the problem with CDNs.

Thought I was going crazy for a second.

This affects so many things it's scary, and Cloudflare status page has still not updated. HN got there first.

So THAT is why the Internet was acting weirdly!

Yesterday I noticed most of their lava lamps are out (which generate random bits). Perhaps these are a critical component.

A lot of people are saying AWS. I'm having intermittent network connectivity issues intra-AZ, so perhaps they lost a data center or route flapped one.

Let's start a betting pool. How many upvotes do you think OP will get before the status page acknowledges a problem? I say its going to be 600.

I'm having real problems with DNS, is this Cloudflare too? They say "All Systems Operational", so maybe not?

Half the damn internet is not currently resolving.
