#742For 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…
This will also reveal your backend internal IP addresses. Anyone can find permanent logs of public IP addresses used by even obscure domain names, so potential adversaries don't necessarily have to be paying attention at the exact right time to find it.

#744Hey, this is fun, all my websites are still up! I wonder how that happened? I don't even have to worry about my docker registry being down because I set up my own after the last global outage.

#745Speaking of 5 9s, how would you achieve 5 9s for a basic CRUD app that doesn't need to scale, but still be globally accessible? No auth, micro services, email or 3rd party services. Just a classic backend connected to a db (any db tech, hosted wherever), that serves up some html.

#747What would the Internet's architecture have to look like for DDOS'ing to be a thing of the past, and therefore Cloudflare to not be needed? I know there are solutions like IPFS out there for doing distributed/decentralised static content distribution, but that seems like only part of the problem. There are obviously more types of operation that occur via the network -- e.g. transactions with single remote pieces of e…
It's impossible to stop DDoS attacks because of the first "D".
If a botnet gets access through 500k IP addresses belonging to home users around the world, there's no way you could have prepared yourself ahead of time.
The only real solution is to drastically increase regulation around security updates for consumer hardware.

#750AWS, Azure, now Cloudflare, all within a month, are hit with configuration errors that are definitely neither signs of more surveillance gear being added by government agencies nor attacks by hostile powers. It's a shame that these fine services that everyone apparently needs and that worked so well for so long without a problem suddenly all have problems at the same time.
