Cloudflare DNS goes down, taking a large piece of the internet with it
By MYBRANDBOOK
Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS service issues caused many major websites and services unreachable for a period on Friday afternoon. The outage seems to have started at about 2:15 Pacific time and lasted for about 25 minutes before connections began to be restored. Google DNS may also have been affected. The company also issued a statement via email emphasizing that this was not an attack on the system.
“This afternoon we saw an outage across some parts of our network. It was not as a result of an attack. “It appears a router on our global backbone announced bad routes and caused some portions of the network to not be available. We believe we have addressed the root cause and monitoring systems for stability now. We will share more shortly—we have a team writing an update as we speak,” the company said in a statement.
Not only were websites down but also some status pages meant to provide warnings and track outages. In at least one case, even the status page for the status page was down.
Cloudflare wrote in a tweet and an update to its own status page (which thankfully remained available) that it was “investigating issues with Cloudflare Resolver and our edge network in certain locations. Customers using Cloudflare services in certain regions are impacted as requests might fail and/or errors may be displayed.”
Some of the services and sites also relied on Google’s Public DNS service (8.8.8.8), which appeared to be having simultaneous issues, but this has not been able to directly confirm by any site. Google shows no interruption to services on its status dashboard.
Despite much speculation as to the cause of the outage, there is no evidence that it was caused by a denial-of-service attack or any other form of malicious hackery.
