Interesting(unnerving?) to see a number of domain registrars that offer their own DNS services utilize at least some kind of Cloudflare service for at least their own web fronts. Did a check on 6 registrar sites I currently interact with and half were down(Namecheap/Spaceship, Name, Dynadot) and up(Porkbun, Gandi, GoDaddy).

Re: Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
#622For 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…
also the API was working fine while the dash was down.
if you don't have the keys make sure to grab them for the next one.

#623How did we get to a place where either Cloudflare or AWS having an outage means a large part of the web going down? This centralization is very worrying.
because cloudfare protection blah blah, until cloudfare is down itself and then you are back to "who watches the watchmen"

#624Meanwhile my Wordpress blog on DigitalOcean is up. And so is DigitalOcean. My ISP is routing public internet traffic to my IPs these days. What keeps me from running my blog from home? Fear of exposing a TCP port, that's what. What do we do about that?
Yeah, DigitalOcean and Dreamhost are both up. I actually self-host on 2Gig fibre service, and all my stuff is up, except I park everything behind Cloudflare since there is no way I could handle a DDoS attack.

Totally cooked if you have Cloudflare fronting us-east-1, with no redundancies.

Except businesses love it.
A lot (and I mean a lot) of people in IT like centralization specifically because it’s hard to blame people for doing something that everyone else is doing.

#628All trains are stuck in south of France for « broken signalisation ». Wonder how related this is. Edit: it was related https://www.laprovence.com/article/region/83645099971988/pan... Edit2: They edited the article stating it wasn't related.
If they do use Cloudflare... why in the everlasting name of Hell did they connect a railway control and signalling system to the Internet?!!!

#629So ... any bets the cause isn't DNS?
We still doing BGP update typos?
Re: Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
#630Pretty much everything is down (checking from the Netherlands). The Cloudflare dashboard itself is experiencing an outage as well. Not-so-funny thing is that the Betterstack dashboard is down but our status page hosted by Betterstack is up, and we can't access the dashboard to create an incident and let our customers know what's going on. Edit: wording.
Yep that's also my experience. Except HN because it does not use *** Cloudflare because it knows it is not necessary. I just wrote a blog titled "Do Not Put Your Site Behind Cloudflare if You Don't Need To" [1]. [1]: https://huijzer.xyz/posts/123/
Sadly, AI bots and crawlers have made CF the only affordable way to actually keep my sites up without incurring excessive image serving costs.
Those TikTok AI crawlers were destroying some of my sites.
Millions of images served to ByteSpider bots, over and over again. They wouldn't stop. It was relentless abuse. :-(
Now I've just blocked them all with CF.
