A widespread Cloudflare outage is affecting access to websites globally, including BleepingComputer. While some regions can still access these sites, others are experiencing disruptions.
Cloudflare has mentioned ongoing scheduled maintenance in Singapore and Nashville, but their status page shows no indication of any issues. Despite this, many users around the world are encountering error messages when trying to visit websites utilizing Cloudflare, with browsers unable to connect to the servers.
BleepingComputer is among the websites impacted, as the users are facing intermittent access problems. However, the monitoring tools indicate the site is still receiving traffic, suggesting the outage is affecting specific regions. For instance, they ae not able to access the site from the U.S., but some of the staff members in other countries are unable to do so.
Downdetector recorded a surge in complaints about Cloudflare starting at approximately 1:45 PM ET, which aligns with when BleepingComputer began experiencing connectivity issues.
Reports on X (formerly Twitter) also indicate that some websites are unreachable over IPv4, though still accessible via IPv6. NodeJS.org has reported similar issues, stating the outage is preventing access to their website and hindering the ability to download Node.js.
BleepingComputer has reached out to Cloudflare for further information but has yet to receive a response.
