Explains why the online training course I was part way through stopped working! Amusing that the quickest diagnosis came from skimming the headlines here :)

This should hopefully drive home the idea of why HN shouldn't be cheering on Cloudflare's slow takeover of the internet.

CF's website is down as well. The CF Status page [0] says everything is working, though. [0] https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

Ironically, the cloudflare.com site is a more reliable indicator. If it doesn't load, then cloudflare is down.

Their status page is a joke, likely crippled to reduce legal liability, but at this point it's just an outright misrepresentation.

This one seems be due to a hug of death rather than isitdownrightnow.com being behind Cloudflare, probably from too many people checking on all the other sites that are down.

I say this because: (1) it eventually loaded for me after I tried a few times and gave it time to load, and (2) its certificate doesn't report to be from Cloudflare but other sites I've checked that are down do

DNS looks to be ok, but sites that I have proxied through them aren't working.

It just updated to show Red a few seconds ago.

Edit: at least it showed there was a problem within <10 minutes, unlike other status pages that sometimes are green the entire time.
