Ask HN: Why was HN down for a few hours?
- Whiteshadow12 3y agoYes, this was the longest period in the last 6 months.
- nerdypirate 3y agoHad to visit twitter to be sure I wasn't the only one I hope dang will take sometime to explain why it was down We might learn a few things :)
- Whiteshadow12 3y agoIt was painful, usually, HN is where one goes to find out if a service is down, I also used Twitter to double check it wasn't just me.

- solardev 3y agoAny chance we can just keep HN on Cloudflare going forward and turn on caching for non-logged-in users?
- subtra3t 3y agoI hope not. Cloudflare seems to block users from Cuba and Iran.
- pinkgolem 3y agoThailand Mobile is also largely blocked.. Was fun, could not use around half the websites I am normally using
- bandergirl 3y agoIf HN is on Cloudflare, where will people report that Cloudflare is down?
- tiffanyh 3y agoSad site is down. Happy my productivity is up today.
