so stupid there is no fallback and can take down 50% of the internet
adding:looks like even Cloudflare's Silk Privacy Pass with challenge tokens is broken
such a great idea to put half the web behind a single fail point without fallover
Tried checking Cloudflare’s status on Downdetector, but Downdetector was also behind Cloudflare. Internet checkmate.
Things like Apple private relay (which way too many people seem to have it enabled) are tunnelled via Cloudflare, maybe using warp?
Wanted to check if it was DNS again but https://isitdns.com/ is also down…
Why do people use the reverse proxy functionality of Cloudflare? I've worked at small to medium sized businesses that never had any of this while running public facing websites and they were/are just fine. Same goes for my personal projects: I've never been worried about being targeted by a botnet so much that I introduce a single point of failure like this.
I consider my server's real IP (or load balancer IP) as a secret for that reason, and Cloudflare helps exactly with that.
Everything goes through Cloudflare, where we have rate limiters, Web firewall, challenges for China / Russian inbound requests (we are very local and have zero customers outside our country), and so on.
