I follow your link https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/09/the-democratization-of-censorship/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/09/the-democratization-of-c... and I get this: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable shield So it seems to be running shield, but at least part of the attacks are still getting through? :( Would be very nice to know what kind of attacks Shield doesn't shield against etc.

  Completely down from here too. I may need to retract my comments about Akamai. Apparently 680gbps (or whatever it's at now) is the total amount of traffic the busiest site on the internet can be hosed with before the internet itself poops the bed. So, you know, we did learn something from this whole saga.

    Update: Back up now.

    OVH got hit by a bigger than 1Tbps attack this week
    - headmelted 10y ago
      Did they? I saw them report a cannon with 1.5tbps capacity (based on multiple sources), wasn't clear they were getting hit by that load though (it looked like 991gbps from what I could gather, which still I didn't know of and is mind-blowing!)

    Do you have source and is it possible you know what's so magical about that number?

I flushed my DNS and it didn't work, then I just hardcoded 130.211.45.45 krebsonsecurity.com in my hosts file and it is working fine.
