Anyone else getting blocked by Miami Cloudflare?

[Baitball Blogger]

It is not allowing me to post. I had to switch to a smartphone.

[riversedge]

1. Minneapolis cloudflare is blocking me also.

[Mister Ed]

25. Me too, for the past half hour.

Seems okay now.

[rampartd]

2. seems ok now

[Baitball Blogger]

5. Wonder if this is an intentionally orchestrated interruption?

[rampartd]

9. upand down again

add cloudflare dallas so seems like a general "cloudflare " problem

[Gore1FL]

32. As an IT professional, I am going to say "no," nt

[RandiFan1290]

3. Yes, many other sites are having issues as well. nt

[Donkees]

4. ''Cloudflare is down worldwide''

[GoCubsGo]

6. No, but having issues with Atlanta Cloudflare.

It's not just an issue with DU, either.

[think4yourself]

17. Same here.

Atlanta

[otchmoson]

18. Me too

[MustLoveBeagles]

48. Cloudfare Chicago

[Ninga]

7. Yes! What is this??

[EarlG]

8. Just investigating this now

It seems I can access DU from my PC, but not my phone right now. We use Cloudflare, and it looks like they are having a problem. There may not be much we can do to resolve this, other than wait for them to get it fixed.

Edited to add: It's not just DU. Hopefully they have this fixed soon.

[Marthe48]

15. I got a Cloudflare 500 error

was trying to access a site I use often. Been getting the error message for about 10 minutes.


No city mentioned, just Cloudflare.

[debm55]

34. Same here in Pittsburgh.

[absyntheminded]

16. Yes, cloudflare Houston blocked my normal link to DU.

[Jersey Devil]

27. Yep, Atlanta Cloudfare, switched vpn to Miami same thing

28. Yup! Philly burbs.

[Joinfortmill]

29. For me, it was Boston.

[IronLionZion]

30. Yes, I just tried again a few minutes later and got in

Cloudflare protects against DDOS attacks so it's possible there was an attack on DU in progress. Or Cloudflare was having technical issues.

[C_U_L8R]

31. Cloudflare seems dumb

Why would you put a vulnerable bottleneck on so much of the internet?
I realize it does a great deal of good when it works and it works most of the time.
But when it breaks, it breaks bigtime.

[Fla Dem]

33. Many sites unavailable.

56. Me, too! Smart phone. Inaccessible for hours this morning. SW Florida.

BTW, also had trouble on all devices yesterday morning — able to access DU, but wouldn’t let me reply to individual posters. Even after several tries. Thought it was just me. But I see that some didn’t have the usual number of responses. That lasted all day.

Will try again today.

Every time I tried to click on a post I wanted to read. I just clicked on the other DU tab at the top of the page. Then I finally was allowed to click here.
