I was trying to fix my router the last 15 minutes :)
Same here. Only figured it out because just one of the computers uses Cloudflare dns and the others were fine...
Cloudflare was down

Re: Cloudflare was down
#112Discord 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…

That is why if you have this question, you should go to google.com
My guess is that there are more resources invested in making sure google.com stays up than for any other site on the internet.

#113Our TPU management page is also down: https://www.tensorfork.com/tpus Seems cloudflare took out a good chunk of the internet temporarily. Doesn’t HN use cloudflare? Why did it survive? (I haven’t looked for about a year, but I seem to remember HN being proxied behind CF at one point.)
Is there a status page for HN?
EDIT: Yes: https://twitter.com/HNStatus
HN is so reliable that’s it’s almost never needed one. I’m extremely curious how HN survived this; almost positive they used cloudflare at one point.
I think the official status page is @hnstatus on Twitter, or something like that.
Re: Cloudflare was down
#114Must be regional or some other factor involved. Various sites others are reporting as offline load for me as does 1.1.1.1.

#115My Pagerduty's been blowing up so I tried to go to their dashboard to pause the notifications for now and pagerduty.com is down XD
Re: Cloudflare was down
#116Something’s wonky, because it’s not just Cloudflare. One of my personal sites is down that uses nothing but a VPS, and I noticed my Unifi AP disconnect from its controller a little bit ago. Fiber cut? Routing issues?
If that VPS is on DO they're down too cause of CF. Or if you set the resolver on your VPS to 1.1.1.1 that's also down.
Why are digital ocean VPSes down due to a Cloudflare outage? Hoping for a clarifying post mortem...

#117Earlier quoted context omitted.
And that is why you host your status page on separate infra.
We're dealing with a deeper level problem here. Since a lot of the internet is relying on Cloudflare DNS at some part or another, even many backup solutions fail. Since so much of DNS is centralised in so few services, such outages hit the core infrastructure of the internet.
A sudden disruption on a large number of services for everybody at once doesn't look like a DNS problem to me, with all the caching in DNS. It would fail progressively and inconsistently.

#119I thought my issue was with Comcast, then I realized I'm using CF's DNS entries for my home network. I removed those 1.1.1.1 entries and some sites are working.
Dang, I'm pretty disappointed in CF. I've never experienced this much an effectful DNS outage.
