Yesterday there was problem resolving cloudflare hosts when you used google DNS. Related?

Interesting, I was on Google's DNS. I've since switched and things appear to be working again!

Thanks for the link!

That doesn't seem to have anything to do with Cloudflare. Cloudflare isn't handling traffic for those sites. They both appear to be handled by Fastly. Also we are not down.

(Title was "Is Cloudflare down?" which is why I replied).

Sorry for assuming! My first thought was a CDN or caching layer, and Cloudflare is the first that comes to mind. I should've investigated a bit more

No worries. Perhaps Fastly's having a bad day in your area. It happens. #hugops

FWIW I can get to reddit.com and rubygems.org without any trouble for London.

It seems related to Google DNS, as when I switched from that to the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1's all of these sites are available again!

Also, if you hard reload Slack (ctrl-shift-r) the icons on the far left don't load.

Ask HN: Is Fastly down?
