Is it just me ?

Edit : It's back I guess it must be just a reboot ? http://imgair.net/i/20111027155208775.png

this happens alot at Cloudflare. it also happens with my sites.

Expect shitloads of downtime with cf..

SpeedBus

Ow, I thought CloudFlare has servers in multiple DC's ? So the failure's would be less ? like a CDN ?

I saw one website so far that has at least several thousands visits per day, and using CF. I came to know from that message. It's also the reason I will never use CF, their claimed cache seems broken and at most of time you will get that message.

SpeedBus

wow ! http://imgair.net/i/20111027180242679.png

Intcs

Maybe it's a second where LEB server was busy, if you refresh I guess it will return back

Estimated number. Go directly to the last page of your search to get the actual number of hits.

SpeedBus

@Aldryic : Wow ! 250,000 is a lot and its estimated ! imagine what the real number of hits would be ! :O

@Intcs : I tried Anyway ! It's back now

ztec

Couple of my sites who have close to 10k Unique visits a day also use CF but I seem to be getting this error at least once a day.

http://i.imgur.com/86q2h.png - Apparently the real number is 690. Did you -truly- believe there were over 250k individual hits online?

SpeedBus

@ztec : Maby it originates from one of their servers which serve's a particular region and is overloaded ?... Not sure though !

@Aldryic : Oops ! My Bad !

I've been using Cloudflare for some high-traffic sites and I've never actually had issues with that, except for some situations where the site wasn't directly accessible either due to routing mess-ups etc.

That there are a lot of results for 'cloudflare down' isn't surprising considering the amount of sites that uses Cloudflare nowadays - and you'll have to keep in mind that likely a large part of the users complaining that 'cloudflare is down' are simply having server/routing issues themselves.

When I google for cloudflare down, only one article on the front top 10 is a complaint about an outage.

LowEndAdmin

I was wondering why I never get cloudflare error. Turns out I hard coded lowendbox.com's IP address in my hosts file so I am always connecting directly.

If CF continue to be a problem, maybe you can share what lowendbox IP you get (to work out cloudflare's anycast node). Or maybe I will just revert back to non-proxy...

i got that one today.. last cache is jolly works ads. and sometimes captcha page. :P

Ixape

This Pingdom page monitors the main blog. (lowendbox.com) I guess it kind of not accurate enough since Pingdom monitors from multiple locations and so it isn't monitoring the blog at all of CloudFlares 14 data centers.

You wouldn't see that message if CF was down. All that means is that the host server took too long to respond. If CF was down, you wouldn't see a message with a CF logo on it because they're servers aren't up to serve that logo. Makes sense.

Stoopid gramer...

ztec

The IP adresses logged on my site are all CloudFlare IPs I just noticed. Is that because of the proxy? I guess so...

o_O!?
Wtf?

Lol. There is a way to get past that.

Yeah, it is. CloudFlare has documentation on this: http://www.cloudflare.com/wiki/Log_Files

LowEndAdmin

This is what I have for my nginx.conf to set the real IP address

set_real_ip_from 204.93.240.0/24;
set_real_ip_from 204.93.177.0/24;
set_real_ip_from 199.27.128.0/21;
set_real_ip_from 173.245.48.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 103.22.200.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 141.101.64.0/18;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;

Anyway. LowEndBox.com is now off CloudFlare -- please check whether the error has gone away.

yomero

Now I got it...
Lol, I was thinking in something stupid about that :P

SpeedBus

Yup the error has gone thanks admin !!!

ztec

I fixed the cloudflare thing, thanks guys.

Good step, as I came a to know a while back there's a problem causes pages to frequently stop displaying altogether or to display CF notice page, it's annoying for visitors.
