Wow, with outage of a scale like this, it must be measurable as a loss in global GDP

#822Is it me or has there been a very noticeable uptick in large scale infra-level outages lately? AWS, Cloudflare, etc have all been way under whatever SLA they publish.
If it's any guidance, US cyber risk insurance (which covers among other things disruptions due to supplier outages) has continuously dropped in price since Q1 2023, with a handful of percent per year.

#823Can't even change my nameservers away from Cloudflare as Namecheap use Cloudflare!!
Just checked INWX from here in Germany. I was able to log in and get to my DNS records. Just if you should be looking for an alternative after all this.

#824It's insane to me that big internet uptime monitoring tools like Pingdom and Downdetector both seem to rely on Cloudflare, as both of those are currently unavailable as well.

#825Interestingly, 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.
I think the site (front-end) thinks you have blocked the domain through DNS or an extension; and thus suggests you unblock it. It is unthinkable that Cloudflare captchas could go down /s.

#826This is worse than than the Amazon outage. I couldn't even login to Cloudflare.

#827If anyone needs commands for turning off the CF proxy for their domains and happens to have a Cloudflare API token. First you can grab the zone ID via: curl -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones" -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" | jq -r '.result[] | "\(.id) \(.name)"' And a list of DNS records using: curl -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID…
This is exactly what we've decided we should do next time. Unfortunately we didn't generate an API token so we are sitting twiddling our thumbs. Edit: seems like we are back online!
Took me ~30 minutes but eventually I was able to log in, get past the 2FA screen and change a DNS record.
I surely missed a valid API token today.

Unless you're making that determination statistically, it's probably pereidolia. See here: https://behavioralscientist.org/yates-expect-unexpected-why-...
Re: Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
#829Is there any way to remove every SPOF? Currently I have multi-region loadbalanced servers. DNS and WAF (and the load balancer) on Cloudflare. Moving DNS elsewhere is step 1 so I'm not locked out - but then I can't use Cloudflare full stop (without enterprise pricing). Multi-provider DNS and WAF - okay I could see how that works. But what about the global load balancer, surely that has to remain a single point of fail…
No? The point of cloudflare is that they remove the spof for you, but I guess we can say they didn't do it quite perfectly
