Hi everyone,
Is anyone else experiencing issues with Cloudflare?

Global outage!
It's crazy that this is still a thing. No doubt DNS or routing!

Should have set up that enhance DNS server when I had the chance 🙄

The API still works so for anything business critical I have been able to turn off the proxy in enhance and DNS takes over and the site has come back online.

Just got to remember to turn the proxy back on when everything is fixed.

tecreasey Yes exactly, we did it for our premium, mission critical clients, anyway just glad we had dns server to help us in this scenario... this is the reminder that how internet is so fragile and we must thought about every possible scenario to minimize the impact instead of just trusting the service just because they are giants in industry, not to mention AWS!!

pratik_asabe So true. So many small businesses and hosting providers are running on luck. Have a client that is using AWS and backing up to S3.... nowhere else. From what I've seen, many people here use their VPS provider snapshots as backups.
