Don't want to go off topic, but if I want to prevent my website going down because of stuff like this in the future, will having back up DNS entries solve the problem? I know DNS will fall back if it can't reach a service, but would a 502 trigger that?

This is a good question.

I'm not sure if the browser receives all A/AAAA records from the syscall, or just one. I guess that if the browser has the whole list, and the error is in the 500 range, it could retry a different IP but I'm not sure if browsers do this.

And I'm sure that everybody hitting F5 to see if it's back is causing no problem at all, no no. Waiting anxiously for the writeup!

1.1.1.1 DNS is down, and seeing a lot of 502s on cloudflare sites.

The 1.1.1.1 vpn still seems to be working

Not here it's not (NE US).

The outrage this time seems to be more serious than last time. More websites including Cloudflare itself are down.

Without question. I've never seen an affected regions list that immense.

Any workarounds or solutions ? I'm an on-call engineer with lots of questions coming in. I'm not sure what I can do apart from moving the domain off Cloudflare, bug DNS propagation would take a few hours and by then Cloudflare might be up again.

Great, now we can't even disable HTTP proxy to allow traffic directly to AWS :/

Point your DNS back to your actual host? Might be the only short term solution, though DNS propagation times kinda rule that out :/

I think the only option here would be to change our name servers at registrar level to point to AWS and recreate all DNS records there, but then you have to deal with name server propagation.

For the site itself that's totally fine, and the status page is separate as it should be, too.

Fair. Some service recently had their status page hosted on the same server that went down, that was funny.

Down detectors down lol.
