It seems regular reverse proxying and R2 still works, as we use those and seem to be working fine still.

Can't get to the Dashboard though.

Somebody at Cloudflare is stretching that initial investigation time as much as possible to avoid having to update their status to being down and losing that Christmas bonus.

It's configuration error or related to configuration. It always is with this big things.

Nice thing about Cloudflare being down is that almost everything is down at once. Time for peace and quiet.

Looks like it's not just Chicago that CF brought down...
