    Hi cloudflare why realtimekit sdk for flutter is not working properly as intended @CloudflareDev @Cloudflare

  • Swapnil37416370 Point Blank (@Swapnil37416370) reported

    @RatanSharda55 Boy, even majority of our apps are hosted on US servers. MS Azure, AWS, cloudflare and all other service providers are overseas. These 70 hour work week and those high paying TCS could not afford to establish a company that actually produces software but just focuses on support

  • outofofficedaku Backpacking Daku (@outofofficedaku) reported

    @yogeshkamra Some issue with CloudFlare as it shouldn't load on VFN but now it does

  • eliaskaram101 Elias Karam (@eliaskaram101) reported

    @gnukeith Did you try changing your DNS? Change it to Google: 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 In general, you shouldn’t use your ISP DNS especially if its xfinity because it sucks

  • abnvx17 Abhinav Baldha (@abnvx17) reported

    @_skris @CloudflareDev For time being yes. Everytime we have faced such issues, we have almost felt like cloudflare itself was trying to DDoS us.

  • VirajPrateek Prateek / प्रतीक (@VirajPrateek) reported

    @grok just checking if @Cloudflare is down in APAC?

  • amit_merchant Amit Merchant (@amit_merchant) reported

    @Rohan_Negi_I @sumeetweb @Cloudflare Probably a Jio-specific issue as per other replies.

  • fbi__open__up $ (@fbi__open__up) reported

    @shenso2000 @phoenykz @gnukeith Not up to them, it's up to each endpoint that terminates the TLS connection to support it. That said you could probably spin up your own proxy on cloudflare or something.

  • piyushkarya Piyush Arya (@piyushkarya) reported

    @amirspeaks @Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp Same here. I faced the same issue couple of years back too. Cloudflare conveniently blamed it on ISP at that time.

  • amirspeaks Aamir Ali Shah (@amirspeaks) reported

    @piyushkarya @Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp Our reseller account manages 38 websites, all currently utilizing Cloudflare. We are experiencing intermittent connectivity issues on the JIO ISP network, where some sites are inaccessible. Disabling Cloudflare resolves the issue.

  • SkyFreeWill SKY|Σ|POW (@SkyFreeWill) reported

    @cryptonator1337 Cloudflare outage , stop spreading FUD , many other site are down , #TradeOgre been around the block

  • amit0xic t0xic 🧪 (@amit0xic) reported

    @gnukeith just change your DNS server manually. That should fix the issue Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

  • efnutter darkness (@efnutter) reported

    @SkyFreeWill @MineSum10 it is not a cloudflare outage.

  • WhatYouThinkIT1 WhatYouThinkIThink 🇦🇺♥️🇺🇦 🔴🟡⚫️ 🇮🇱🇵🇸 (@WhatYouThinkIT1) reported

    @gnukeith Run your own DNS server. Don't rely on either your ISP, or Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or Quad9 (9.9.9.9). If you run your own (eg unbound), it will resolve names itself from the root down.

  • huihui2002s HuiHui (@huihui2002s) reported

    @amit_merchant @Cloudflare Does anyone knows how to resolve this issue

  • Ekaterina191681 Ekaterina (@Ekaterina191681) reported

    @SkyFreeWill yup, that's why the "official" twitter account is not publishing anything, because it's not an issue on their side but only with cloudflare. Should've been foreseen, being the shadiest exchange ever with zero transparency, total anonymity and insane volumes. Perfect combination

  • wispierdev willow (@wispierdev) reported

    @gnukeith @ITangoI They don't seem to understand when the piracy website they're targeting is behind a proxy, so rather than contacting Cloudflare about it, they just block the entire proxy IP range and take down a whole Cloudflare region for a day or two.

  • SamBell40438371 Sam_Bellamy (@SamBell40438371) reported

    @crypto_nagini @TradeOgre It has been down since yesterday. On a negative side it is very long to be down and no reassurance or comms is terrible. What gives some hope is that according to some who monitor explorers, money has not been moved and cloudflare did have issues.

  • HalvingPrince GetMoreBTC (@HalvingPrince) reported

    @exitnode_ @TradeOgre Other commenter says it's a Cloudflare outage. Hope so

  • tobimori Tobias Möritz (@tobimori) reported

    seems like cloudflare has some issues with serving css files right now, had a few third-party sites serving css with zstd encoding in safari (which doesn't work)

  • efnutter darkness (@efnutter) reported

    @HalvingPrince @exitnode_ @TradeOgre it is not a cloudflare outage.

  • wispierdev willow (@wispierdev) reported

    @gnukeith @ITangoI They will absolutely do it if you give them the idea lmfao. I forget what the company is, but that one football company in Spain that has free access to block whatever they want for no reason keeps blocking Cloudflare edge servers and taking down hundreds of websites lmfao.

  • piyushkarya Piyush Arya (@piyushkarya) reported

    @amirspeaks @Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp Lets try this too, normal helpline or some specific helpline for such issue. Now i am also thinking that GOV has blacked 30 adult OTT sites recently - if they were using claudflare and the whole block got blacklisted :p

  • tryderrick Derrick.dk 🏔️ (@tryderrick) reported

    Every time Cloudflare goes down, it’s a reminder: A huge chunk of the internet depends on one company. Second outage in two months. Makes you wonder how fragile the web really is.

  • atelicinvest Unemployed Capital Allocator (@atelicinvest) reported

    Deployment is not that hard to learn. 30 minutes of Q&A with ChatGPT will get you there on vercel / cloudflare, or even a basic VPS. Since it's going to be vibe coded tool for yourself, you don't need crazy security unless you're hosting on your home network. You can just use the LLM as your DevOps engineer, for close to 100% of your basic needs. You don't need cloudformation scripts. You don't need Infra as code. You just need a basic free account at one of the many, many providers with super generous free tier. You know what's hard? Figuring out how to debug when vibe coding stops working. Figuring out how to structure your db and back end properly instead of just relying on what Claude did 'because it works for now'. Where **** breaks isn't when you can't deploy your code to cloudflare. Where it breaks is when suddenly there's one feature you want to add but nothing works, **** starts breaking and you're staring down the barrel of 10hrs of debugging but you don't know where to start because you don't know the first thing about how to code. This is where people give up. And this is where LLMs fail right now.

  • ronelm2000 ronelm2000【神歌】 (@ronelm2000) reported

    @gnukeith This is just your ISP's DNS resolver. That can be "resolved" by using something like Cloudflare, Google, etc. (There's a list on GitHub if you can search it.) Might as well combine it with a pihole instance on a machine or your home network so it acts like an adblock too.

  • Trastito2es Mingle 🐧🐱💻🏎 (@Trastito2es) reported

    @ITangoI @gnukeith In Spain, the ISPs block AWS, Cloudflare and other major cloud services when there's football league matches due to constitutional corruption with the League's private company, causing problems for the whole population. So it wouldn't be the first time.

  • KataSeiko Kata Seiko (@KataSeiko) reported

    @gnukeith Have you considered manually pointing your DNS service at 1.1.1.1 (that's Cloudflare) and 8.8.8.8 (that's Google) as backup? I'm sure there's others and halfway sure that Google logs what you look up.

  • abokaloha Goldstick (@abokaloha) reported

    @hearnpaige01 the issue looks more like tradeogre than cloudflare. just hope its not another xeggex....
