It wasn't a total outage for the site I was trying to reach. It took about 20 minutes to make an order, but after multiple retries (errors were reported as a 522 with the problem being somewhere between Manchester, UK and the host), it did go through.

I'm having issues reaching IP addresses unrelated to Cloudflare. Based on some traceroutes, it seems AS174 (Cogent) and AS3356 (Level 3) are experiencing major outages.

Is there any one place that would be a good first place to go to check on outages like this? It would be really cool and useful to have an "public Internet health monitoring center"... this could be a foundation that gets some financing from industry that maintains a global internet health monitoring infrastructure and a central site at which all the major players announce outages.

I was doing development work which uses a server I've got hosted on digital ocean. I started getting intermittent responses which I thought weird as I hadn't changed anything on the server. I spent a good ten minutes trying to debug the issue before searching for something on duckduckgo, which also didn't respond. Cloudfare shouldn't be involved at all with my little site, so I don't think it's limited to just them.

Yeah, something happened to ipv4 traffic worldwide. Don't see how that could happen.

Seconding this. Had some ssh connections timing out repeatedly just a bit ago. Also got disconnected on IRC.

Can confirm for a number of sites, even Hacker News was unreachable for me.
