I didn't know that thanks for sharing. Has there been major cases recently?
really puzzling that a healthcheck provider itself is not accounting for this potential issue.
Is there some sort of edgy reverse proxy here? Doesn't seem like it. Even then there would be a big latency.
- Mo3 4y agohttps://status.hetzner.com/ https://status.hetzner.com/ We haven't been using them for anything in production, so I am not 100% sure - they have a backbone outage right now however.. There are no edge / reverse proxies being described in the OP article, just a HAProxy configuration within the same DC.

- Mo3 4y agoIn case you are talking about potential DDoS attacks, yes, they have been hit hard by massive attacks the last few weeks. They also do not have adequate protection systems in place
- cuu508 4y agoAbout a month ago Hetzner was hit by an UDP DDOS, and as a mitigation they throttled UDP traffic on specific port ranges. This caused major problems for Healthchecks, as I'm using Wireguard for private networking, and Wireguard uses UDP. Here's a postmortem about this incident: https://status.healthchecks.io/en/incidents/dcbcDNd89LptHoWiUZ9iFK/ https://status.healthchecks.io/en/incidents/dcbcDNd89LptHoWi...
