Cloudflare Issues Reports

-
Victor Garcia (@vmg__0) reported@kellabyte Cloudflare doesn't give the details on how they do durability. For CellD I think you can have different durability levels, like making every write be RPO 0 but I think it's configurable to have better write performance at the expense of there being potential data loss if the node goes kapoot. I think I see what you meant about the issue with reads after writes because if the local sqlite db is lost and there was a read after a write and the write isn't durable the client could see some inconsistent state.

dc (@d11cc3s) reported@Eric_M_Courage Open source and publish this on GitHub Pages or Cloudflare? Claude should be able to help you do this if not I might be able to help

𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙆 (@Kamx336) reported@juiceboy_of_abj I just connected my VPN to sign in to cloudflare then I saw this.

Utsav Patel 🇮🇳 (@mr_utsav_patel) reported@Cloudflare Same card is working with stripe link for anthropic and I tried with 2 different bank cards and both are getting declined, if possible please add support for UPI for your Indian customers until this issue is resolved

ORBS Official (NASDAQ: $ORBS) (@Iamhuman_ORBS) reported@Cloudflare reported on July 1 that more than half the traffic it sees across its network is now non human. AI training crawlers went from 22% of crawler requests in spring 2025 to 52% by June 2026. In some heavily crawled sectors, human traffic fell by as much as 40% in under a year. @worldnetwork's World ID answers this at the person, not the packet. Verify once in person at an Orb. Carry a private proof you are a unique human. The proof travels, your identity does not. $ORBS holds 301.9M $WLD, ~8% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally. $WLD is the token that powers the World ID proof of human network.

Seun (@seunoyebode) reportedFor many years, I couldn’t watch prime video on tv. Starlink solved it. Apparently the issue is the same issue that causes homepages of sites like vercel, cloudflare etc inaccessible directly when you’re using MTN or Airtel etc Now Starlink is stressing me out also. It just won’t play prime video movies
-
spencer :) (@spencerpauly) reportedThis morning I asked codex: "move my site to vercel to save costs". It asked me to login to namecheap for my dns records. "Ohh, move the nameservers to cloudflare too". 1 hour later - both are migrated.
-
Alexander Zuev (@zlxndr) reported@vicentesandev + retries, timeouts, DI, error taxonomy is trivial and not an issue even without effect - the only core reason for me to consider the transition is to make the logic more maintainable and more reliable And the most confusing bit of this is handling errors / translating them at the boundaries: - tanstack server fn handle them one way - server api routes expect a response - cloudflare workflow have specific control flow requirements with nonRetryableError - cf durable objects have their own nuances with alarms - cf queues need to ack/retry - cron just logs at the boundary That’s where probably most of integration effort lies

Rock (@Rock4754) reported@retiredbhondu Go to ur network settings and in DNS-> Private DNS hostname add -> 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns. com *Remove the space before .com when entering it
-
Southpaw | ZZZ Optimizer v6 is LIVE (@Southofpaw) reported@JaIdabaoth Nevermind sorry just checked enka and it’s up. I might need to check cloudflare to see there’s an issue
-
Blue Pastel (@CoyotlCompany) reportedStopping the bad guys with Cloudflare: 23,495 malicious requests blocked or challenged in the last month #cloudflare
-
Ascellayn (@SiriusBYT) reported@helvetica5td @Asora_EN This explains why using a VPN sometimes you still get an error but you try again in a different region and the issue is gone, probably because that Cloudflare CDN Server's IP hasn't been ratelimited yet It also explains why without a VPN it also doesn't work (cause same CDN)
-
Md. Abu Taher (@entrptaher) reported@divinprnc Mind sharing why resend for sending and receiving? Doesnt cloudflare offer native email support right now?
-
Alex Garcia (@alex_here_now) reportedI'm having a cloudflare issue I think I should speak to a cloudflare person about. What's up: I built an entire setup in my personal gmail before getting my work email. I'd like to transfer basically everything to the work email. This feelss... delicate.
-
Ton (@ton_anywhere) reported@thunkoid @Cloudflare This! And I’m not even counting their open-source tools and support 👏
-
Joshua Gardiner (@jgwifi) reported@Cloudflare Hope you can help. I was double charged for a registrar change. Attempted to open a ticket but the support platform says no tickets for my free account. I asked the AI bot, it says I should be able to open a ticket. Any advice? :)

Hidden Gem Alert (@kynangonline) reportedStopping the bad guys with Cloudflare: 30,998 malicious requests blocked or challenged in the last month #cloudflare
-
Gneaus (@legibitiquas) reported@juiceboy_of_abj Not just cloudflare. There was a time Outlook looses connection when I switch to Airtel, but other sites work. I had to switch back to MTN, they have fixed that now. Airtel have serious DNS issues, I noticed I can't open some sites, gives me DNS error
-
David Aronchick (@aronchick) reported@QuinnyPig @Cloudflare @vercel When do **** posts get their arn
-
Jay Zhang (@jayzhangdev) reported@CodeByPoonam I think third-party CI/CD might matter more. Hope Vercel or Cloudflare support it soon.
-
korinne (@korinne_dev) reported@Cloudflare Also it's interesting that design used to stress me out, but now AI has taken so much of the pressure off. Designs I make myself feel much more precious and impressive than what AI generates for me. Feels like sewing your own clothes. Even if they are bad, you made them.
-
Akintola Steve (@Akintola_steve) reportedStudy systems that already work at scale. Don’t only learn system design from interview questions. Study real engineering. Read how companies like: Uber. Netflix. Cloudflare. Stripe. Discord. Airbnb. solve actual problems. Read engineering blogs. Study open-source systems. And if you’re serious about distributed systems, read: Designing Data-Intensive Applications. Don’t just read it once. Revisit it.
-
Florian M (@SW4FlorianM) reportedThree findings from the audit of an industrial manufacturer. Fixing all three: about three days of configuration. No code. The site is Webflow behind Cloudflare, and the stack was never the problem.
-
ctoxyz (@_ctoxyz) reported@cloudflare literally just PREVENTED that company from getting a SALE from me. nice work **** HEADS
-
Bukumzzy (@Bukumzzy001) reported@juiceboy_of_abj No lies bro Couldn't access my cloudflare while connected to this Airtel 5g till I switched back to my Normal phone network(Glo).. Didn't know it's an Airtel thing till It happened again while connected to my Airtel mifi 😭😭😭
-
R𝐞𝐦𝐢 | C𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫ɢʟᴛ (@cyber39glt) reportedMost likely an IP routing/peering or Cloudflare security issue. It doesn’t necessarily mean Airtel is blocking Cloudflare. The specific IP range Airtel assigns (sometimes through CGNAT/shared IPs) could be having issues reaching Cloudflare.
-
Adrian Rangel (@acrogenesis) reportedAdvising people to only accept traffic from Cloudflare as a security measure is stupid and irresponsible. Any attacker can route their requests through the Cloudflare network.
-
Jiten Bansal (@bansal_io) reportedI’m building a SaaS where customers will use their own custom domains. Can anyone familiar with Cloudflare for SaaS clarify this for me? The pricing page says $0.10 per additional hostname. Is that $0.10 per hostname per month, or a one-time charge? Any confirmation from someone who has actually used Cloudflare for SaaS billing would be really helpful. It’ll help me choose the right stack for my SaaS. @CloudflareDev @threepointone
-
The Problem Solving Designer (@JohannuDesign) reported@juiceboy_of_abj This almost drove me nuts till I tried a different network and I was like WTF... Funny thing is it's not only cloudflare
-
Matt Smith (@msmith508) reportedMy router started having issues downloading a firehol ip block list…problem appears to be compound: they now block forcing redirect to but even after importing trusted root certs, it still fails, due to cloudflare most likely…my current workaround is dl from github
