There is a major internet outage going on. I am using Scaleway they are also affected. According to Twitter, Vodafone, CityLink and many more are also affected.

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.

Status pages of the companies are just PR disasters for them. Most of the time they don't report what's up.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

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

Probably relevant Fastly update:

> Fastly is observing increased errors and latency across multiple regions due to a common IP transit provider experiencing a widespread event. Fastly is actively working on re-routing traffic in affected regions.

Shameless plug:

I spent too much time losing precious time when github/npm/cloudflare are going down, until I figure out it was them.

So currently working on a project[1] to monitor all the 3rd party stack you use for your services. Hit me up if you want, access I'll give free access for a year+ to some folks to get feedbacks.

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.

HN and reddit out on my talktalk link in London, 3 mobile 4g working normally.

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.

IKEA had their payment system go down worldwide also. I really doubt that uses Cloudflare.

FYI: Your site is down because of GitHub pages maintenance.

Edit: it’s up again!

Just want to let you know about the spelling error ”Save titme” :)

It's not a just CloudFlare outage, its a global CenturyLink/Level3 outage
