Cloudflare Down?

4 points by augustl 5y ago ↗ HN

According to Slack, users in Norway has trouble connecting. https://status.slack.com/2021-03/a5db2f1d73dd8cb4 Can confirm! I also can't connect to Signal, and a few more services. Even cloudflarestatus.com is down :)

Are anyone else having a generally weird internet experience at the moment?

I can reach cloudflarestatus.com from Australia. As of 8:54AM CET that page notes that "Oslo, Norway" is "operational". Sigh.

Likely something else, cloudflarestatus.com isn't hosted by CF and doesn't use their authorative DNS servers (for obvious reasons).

cloudflarestatus.com works just fine for me (also in Norway). According to that page:

* Users in Tokyo may experience disconnects, high latency, and other connectivity failures. Mar 5, 00:48 UTC

* The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented. Mar 5, 00:57 UTC

* A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results. Mar 5, 01:02 UTC

* We are continuing to monitor for any further issues. Mar 5, 06:51 UTC

Could it be your isp has a peering issue with cloud flare? Can you try a different isp (mobile phone proiver?) and see if it's still down?

Can you connect to cloudflare.com? That's a more reliable indicator than other Internet services. I can't talk about who our clients are but a quick

    dig +short slack.com

shows Slack on an Amazon IP. Same thing for signal.org so I'm guessing this is an Amazon reachability problem in Norway.

This is why it's dangerous to have centralized chokepoints on the web. A true resilient Internet would have no single point of failure, yet here we are.
