CloudFlare down for 20-25mins just now
https://downdetector.com/status/cloudflare

So CloudFlare had another hiccup, seems to be limited to just their caching service. These types of issues seem to becoming more common IMO. For those using them for their DNS, CDN, and registrar how do you sleep at night?
My favorite part? HetrixTools, downdetector.com, etc. all running on cloudflare so You can't even access the typical sites to confirm something is up.

Even let was down...
Cloudflare is internet, if cloudflare is down, Internet is down.
It's a joke really how dependent everyone has gotten on them. I have been testing it out the past few months and even moved a few domains over to their registrar service.
But I feel like I hear about some sort of hiccup once every 3-4 months. I'll probably be moving away from them again. Too many eggs in one basket.
some large DDOS attacks have been happening, still continue
Funny how smaller sites on smaller hosts are unaffected but the big boys always seem to be the first to get hit (obviously I understand why). You put your faith in the big company because you think they are a safe bet but they end up being the primary targ. for most of these DDO S
I sleep good at night. Cloudflare is the best option for most of us anyway. Unless you of course have tons of cash to waste.
wait for cloudflare's incident report.
Reminds me of the space web browser games.
If you had just a small fleet, you be fucked, anytime someone figures it out.
If you join an clan, and everyone "bunkers" its fleet on one planet, its fucking giant.
Nobody is gonna touch it, until they have something twice that big.
Then you be better somewhere else.
Now Cloudflare apparently had a big attack, which overloaded the entire network, neat.
I suspect they just upgrade and it may happen again and again and again..
Using cloudflare is a virtual way of using training wheels.
The end is nigh.
this only affected for websites that using their cdn, most my website only use their dns and seem fine and not affected by this ddos.
That does not exclude a DDoS, maybe the network was indeed giant but the hardware was not so it took a shit.
I got incident notifications for all my servers from pingniner due to this
Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here watching people slowly realize what I've been yelling about for years now...
They never listen.
I wonder how many more downtimes people need before realizing that centralizing all their websites at one single provider is a bad idea.
It's pretty crazy how many websites I was trying to visit that were down and even some of the Debian repos I used for down too.
"It's free" seems to be the condiment that allows to pump any kind of sh_it to people.
I remember when CloudF&#%! began their 1.1.1.1 DNS game. My first thought was that many will be "smart" and use that instead of the "uncool" 8.8.4.4 as NS alternative.
I do not use any "service" of CF and try to avoid Google, too. But then I have no insanely important puppy images site that just needs to be CF fast.
In a way frightening. But then, a gaze outside (at what walks on the streets) and it seems just normal ...
I hate the people that immediately scream "IT WAS CHINA, THE CHINESE ARE DDOSING CLOUDFLARE". Was there any evidence to back that claim? No.
But yeah, I dislike CloudFlare for trying to make the internet less secure, private and stable (while claiming otherwise) by centralizing all services to itself. More and more things depend on CloudFlare - websites, DNS resolvers and recursors, Ethereum whizzbang gateways and even time servers!
This wasn't the way the internet was designed and continuing this trend will eventually harm everyone involved.
Just my 2 cents.
Tried them, I'd rather pay for a CDN than use them.
IT WAS CHINA, THE CHINESE ARE DDOSING CLOUDFLARE.
There, happy, @FDR?
CHINA NUMBER ONE
IT WAS CHINA, THE CHINESE ARE DDOSING CLOUDFLARE
Am I already that old and uncool? As far as I know shouldn't it be russian hackzors? Or no, wait, today is tuesday. Shouldn't it be iranian evil doers?
Nothing against China, but sorry, China can't get to be the guilty party every day!
Tuesday afternoon is North Korea. Didn't you read the schedule?
Well, few years ago, the Left used Russia. They now use China.
RUSSIA NUMBER TWO
