Internet is down, I guess I'll just look out of the window for a bit

It's the first time it's been down that I've seen a sensible error message.

But I was supposed to be commuting, so I guess I'll do that.

I was trying to look up banana-based jokes (https://upjoke.com/banana-jokes) and discovered that London Cloudflare seems to be down.

Then, I tried various down detecting sites and they didn't seem to work either - presumably due to Cloudflare.

Not affected using tunnels, CDNs.

it's probably related to the recent ddos attacks they helped mitigating.

Saw cloudflare go down before my very eyes on colonist.io in Australia

Our company is loosing money with every second of downtime.

Update: It seems to be back, the downtime lasted maybe 5-6 minutes

Back up for me now

Edit: and then back down again

All my websites are down due to Cloudflare

From the Cloudflare status website: "Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress." Maybe something went wrong while doing maintenance?

Still down for me

Keeps going up and down for me, I cant access DownDetector to check. The first website I noticed it on was Blender Artists.

80% of web sites I visited in last 15 minutes are not available anymore, LOL

Just now it was acknowledge in the status page.

it comes back up now

It would have been ironic had this https://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/salesguy.html been hosted behind cloudflare.

It would appear if you use a VPN in Europe you can still access Cloudflare sites, I have just tried, for me the Netherlands, Germany, and France work, but the UK and USA don't.

EDIT: It would appear it is still unreliable in these countries, it just stopped working in France for me.

Took down both Twitter and Rateyourmusic. This is a targetted attack against me specifically and nobody else

pretty much just my twitter usage as of now. my sites dont use cloudflare

ChatGPT and Perplexity AI are down, I was just about to try and use ChatGPT.

all the captcha's are also not working

Cloudflare's dashboard is currently down as well.

My domain is registered with cloudflare so I'm 100% helpless to get things back online.

I can't edit DNS records to bypass cloudflare and I can't change nameservers either.

I was using Cloudflare WARP; had to turn it off to access most of the websites i visit daily.

It took supabase and X down for me

The non profit I volunteer at is unreachable. It gives a cloudflare error page which is sort of helpful. It tells me the the site is ok but cloudflare has an 500.

It’s been great, but I always wonder when a company starts doing more than it’s initially calling. There have been a ton of large attacks, tons of bot scrappers so it’s the Wild West.

Yes, it impacted our services https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

It’s down worldwide practically, in the US,UK,NZ,AU

Most down-detectors are down due to their dependency on CF.

Cloudflare Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad edge-nodes also unable to serve content.

x.com down.

Few quick-commerce apps are acting up at times.

Using Cloudflare is a tradeoff between facing DDoS and other attacks, and the downtime of Cloudflare.
