Ask HN: Anyone else getting frequent DNS resolve errors on the web lately?

1 points by Mahn ↗ HN
Not a tech support question, just curious if others are seeing this. It seems that lately every 1 out of 5 or 10 requests fails due to a "DNS server address error" according to Chrome. I thought it may have something to do with my setup or connection but I'm hearing from other people at different locations experiencing the same.

I'm starting to think that Cloudflare could be the root cause, and since so many sites depend on it a lot of the web suffers from it. Thoughts?

Well. Check if the auth DNS of said failed domains are served by Cloudflare DNS. And then we go from there.
Or it could be your DNS resolver. Try changing it to googles 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
