Cloudflare CDN Partial Outage
- geocrasher 4y agoExperience shows that there are also a plethora of 403's with "cloudflare-nginx" in the message.
- c7b 4y agoWhatsApp and Cloudflare on the same day?
- robbiet480 4y agoiMessage as well
- JohnJamesRambo 4y agoNice decentralization.
- qeternity 4y agoYeah because BGP never goes haywire.
- encryptluks2 4y agoDoes this mean I won't get annoying captchas on some of the sites I visit since Cloudflare seems to be using their services to train some AI model.
- jgrahamc 4y agohttps://blog.cloudflare.com/end-cloudflare-captcha/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/end-cloudflare-captcha/
- encryptluks2 4y agoI see a bunch of corporate talk about how they use captchas but now it is a different type that is less difficult?
- nonrandomstring 4y agoI would have liked to read that. Instead here's what I see: > Checking if the site connection is secure > Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue > blog.cloudflare.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding. What does it mean to "review the security" of my connection? Wouldn't that be my business? (Feel free to review the security of your connection by all means) :) Why would that "need" running JavaScript here on my browser (which I don't for fairly obvious security reasons) Other websites seem to have no problem delivering basic content without that. Also, no thank-you to cookies. We're not entering into a "session" relationship here, I merely wanted to read the document you advertised at the URL.
- encryptluks2 4y agoExplains why I start getting captchas due to using uBlock to disable JavaScript. How freaking annoying!
- thefreeman 4y agoCool. That is certainly your choice. It is also the choice of the website operators whose sites you try to visit to block your traffic since you won't opt in to their security precautions.
- nonrandomstring 4y agoBut I don't invite people to my house and then slam the door in their face.
- thefreeman 4y agoYour house isn't also accessible by anyone in the world, anywhere, at any time. People who complain about this stuff conveniently ignore that a massive amount of traffic to public websites is malicious and automated in nature. It's not crazy that website operators want to block that stuff. They would rather block the .0001% of people who choose to block javascript than expose their site to the junk. You can rage at Cloudflare all you want but if it wasn't a service people wanted then they wouldn't be offering it.
- jgrahamc 4y agoFix is rolling out.
- stingraycharles 4y ago(Parent is CTO of CloudFlare for those unaware)
- outworlder 4y agoI wish my CTO even knew what HN was.
- lillecarl 4y agoSome would be happy if their CTO knew anything about computing!
- qwertox 4y agoNice. In that case I'll try to get an update on Pingora's release date. Haven't heard anything about it lately :(
- ehPReth 4y agoThank you! What happened out of curiosity?
- outworlder 4y agoDoubtful anyone would post anything here before there's time to write a proper RCA.
- jgrahamc 4y agoTeam is writing it up. Will get it out later today.
- tikotzky 4y agoWe were seeing some pages with cookies incorrectly getting cached, causing users to get logged in as other users. We quickly disabled cache on the dashboard, is this related to that?
- metadat 4y agoHere is the status messaging, pasted below for context (since it'll ostensibly be scrubbed once the issue is resolved): -- Increased HTTP 530 Errors Identified The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented. Posted 1 hour ago. Oct 25, 2022 - 16:29 UTC Investigating Cloudflare is investigating an increased level of HTTP 530 errors. We are working to analyse and mitigate this problem. More updates to follow shortly. Posted 2 hours ago. Oct 25, 2022 - 15:53 UTC This incident affects: Cloudflare Sites and Services (CDN/Cache).
- metadat 4y agoAlso, I was unfamiliar with the 530 status code; turns out it's unofficial and somewhat arbitrary: > 530 Site is frozen Curious what this means in Cloudflare land. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes
- bhaney 4y ago> 530 Site is frozen That's how Pantheon uses the code, not how Cloudflare uses it. The wikipedia article you linked has a whole section dedicated to Cloudflare's use of unofficial error codes. Specifically, it doesn't mean much in particular for Cloudflare other than "check the other error code we returned elsewhere in the response to see what the actual issue is"
- mrbuttons454 4y agoIt's not DNS There's no way it's DNS It was DNS
- ThePowerOfFuet 4y agoThis is better and more relevant with each passing year. Beautiful calligraphy, too.
- nop_slide 4y agoGot a similar message on Digital Ocean for their App Platform/static pages, does DO use Cloudflare underneath?
- alberth 4y agoYes, DO uses Cloudflare to at least protect (and cache) their main website. https://hostingchecker.com https://hostingchecker.com is a good resource to see where a website is hosted.
- busymom0 4y agoLooks like that site has a misleading name. It isn’t telling me who I am hosting with. It’s only telling me that I have cloudflare in front of it.
- alberth 4y agoIf Cloudflare is masking your origin to provide WAF capabilities, which it does for most - then I'd say this is expected results.
- busymom0 4y agoIt is expected result yes. Not disagreeing with you on that. I am simply saying that CF is not "hosting" the site. It's the middle man. The host is hidden.
- 0xbadcafebee 4y agoThe only question I have is: how partial? I would hope they designed so it's impossible for a single change to affect the entire network.
- doctoboggan 4y agoThis seems to have affected many services: https://downdetector.com/ https://downdetector.com/ Shopify admin pages and "some storefront images" were down for a few hours and I suspect its related to this cloudflare outtage.
- ec109685 4y agoInteresting Amazon shows up there who doesn't use CloudFlare.
- wongarsu 4y agoI'd just chalk that up to DownDetector having a false positive. They aren't directly looking at those services but rely on sources such as users checking Downdetector and reporting problems, sentiment analysis of social media, etc.
- kayson 4y agoIs this impacting MS Teams? Been having screen sharing issues all day
- harryvederci 4y agoThat's probably just Teams impacting Teams.
- kayson 4y agoOne hopes that teams is not just a steaming pile of garbage, but the hopes are always dashed...
- sideproject 4y agoYesterday, I started getting HTTP 409 errors on some of the domains. It's still happening - wondering if this is related at all.
