DigitalOcean + Gandi means nothing I run is down. Amazing. We depend far too greatly on centralised services where we deem the value of reputation and convenience exceeds the potential downsides and then the world pays for it. I think we have to feel a lot more of this pain before regulation kicks in to change things because the reality is people don't change. The only thing you can personally do is run a lot of your…

Individually, for you, what's the difference?

For anyone reading this who desperately needs their website up, you can try this: If you manage to get to your Cloudflare DNS settings and disable the "Proxy status (Proxied)" feature (the orange cloud), it should start working again.

Be aware that this change has a few immediate implications:

- SSL/TLS: You will likely lose your Cloudflare-provided SSL certificate. Your site will only work if your origin server has its own valid certificate.

- Security & Performance: You will lose the performance benefits (caching, minification, global edge network) and security protections (DDoS mitigation, WAF) that Cloudflare provides.

Interestingly, also noticing that websites that use Cloudflare Challenge (aka "I'm not a Robot") are also throwing exceptions with a message as "Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed" - even though it's just responding with an HTTP/500.

Not only discriminating robots but actual people /s.
