Glad I moved this site and my other sites off Cloudflare last month. Seems like it's impacting all Cloudflare sites currently.
Just happened in the last 20 or so minutes so not much to report on yet.
A lot of your favorite sites may be down. Comically many of the "is it down" or "service down reporter" sites are using cloudflare and were down when reaching them from search results.
So what are you behind now Rambler? VanwaTech?
We never used Cloudflare for DDOS filtering. Cloudflare was honestly used out of old habit of quick DNS setup and on-the-fly SSL Certs. Habits are hard to break sometimes.
Our current service provider handles the filtering for us.
Good for you!
Alternatives to Cloudflare DDoS protection:
BitMitigate (one time banned a domain, but bans far less than CloudFlare)
Digital ocean
Imperva Incapsula
Dynu Dynamic DNS
ClouDNS.net
Neustar SiteProtect
JavaPipe
ArvanCloud
CloudLayar
Cloudflare also demands no private jevascript cryptography of payloads, and all traffic must be in clear and use an evil CLOUDFLARE SSL KEY on your behalf!!
Its true! NOt one actual private person to person message was ever sent on voat.co in history, because voat.co used Cloudflare and thus, ceded all actual true https ability and cloudflare stores and copies all traffic for feds, as Cloudflare often revealed.
Cloudflare 30 minutes ago, 21 hours after your typing, is DOWN for accessing Gab.co
https://gab.com/ Up as of March 12th 1PM.
Global Cloudflare outage reported.
