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.

Let me guess: somebody misconfigured BGP again?

Me too. I can only connect to one of my DO servers. The rest are all unreachable.

M5 Hosting here, where this site is hosted. We just shut down 2 sessions with Level3/CenturyLink because the sessions were flapping and we were not getting complete full route table from either session. There are definitely other issues going on on the Internet right now.

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.

Reddit, HN, etc. are inaccessible to me over my Spectrum fiber connection, but working on AT&T 4G. It’s not DNS, so a tier 1 ISP routing issue seems to be the most likely cause.

Everything to Oracle Cloud's Ashburn US-East location is down.

Their console isn't responding at all and all my servers are unreachable. Their status console reports all normal though.

Lots of local sites not working in Scandinavia either. So seems more global than a single Tier 1?

I'm having lots of issues with Hetzner machines not being available (and even the hetzner.com website). Don't know if this is related.

Fyi I'm not having any problems right now with hetzner.com nor hetzner.de - my own dedicated server hosted at Hetzner datacenter in Germany seems to be reachable/working as well.

Connecting from Switzerland.
