If 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…

If anyone needs the internet to work again (or to get into your cf dashboard to generate API keys), if you have Cloudflare WARP installed, turning it on appears to fix otherwise broken sites. Maybe using 1.1.1.1 does too, but flipping the radio box was faster. Some parts of sites are still down, even after tunneling into to CF.

How 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.

As always, in the name of "security". When are we going to learn that anything done, either by the government or by a corporation, in the name of security is always bad for the average person?

Speaking 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.

what if you could create a super virtual server of sorts. imagine a new cloud provider like vercel but called something else. what this provider does is when you create a server on their service, they create 3 services, one on aws, one on gcp and one on azure. behind the scenes they are 3 separate servers but to the end user they are a single server. the end user gets to control how many cloud providers are involved. when aws goes down, no worries, it switches to the part with gcp on

This is ridiculous:

They just posted:

Update We've deployed a change which has restored dashboard services. We are still working to remediate broad application services impact Posted 2 minutes ago. Nov 18, 2025 - 14:34 UTC

but,.. I'm stuck at the captcha that does not work: dash.cloudflare.com Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds.

dash.cloudflare.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

Quote from The Guardian's story: >A spokesperson for Cloudflare said: “We saw a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare’s services beginning at 11.20am. That caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare’s network to experience errors. While most traffic for most services continued to flow as normal, there were elevated errors across multiple Cloudflare services. >“We do not yet know the cause of the spike in…

Sounds like it may have been a cyber attack...

I used to say, "Don't worry, we host it on Cloudflare. If it's down, then 30% internet is down. It's highly unlikely." Well...

Yes but you also get to say "We're down? Yes of course we're down, 30% of the internet is down. Nothing we can do"

Pretty 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.

BetterStack did report issues with some of their services, but they were not very informative.
