Looks like Cloudflare is down

Posted on 11/18/2025 4:03:33 AM PST by chrisser

Getting errors in various sites that use Cloudflare including X. Down detector uses Cloudflare.

Seems like this could be another major tech outage if not resolved soon.

“Good morning. I cannot access Truth Social.”

It is possible that something major has happened and they are blinding us in mass. CloudFlare has done this before in the past. The first time was when the Christ Church shooting happened. They blinded the net and blocked information while they scrubbed up any unauthorized narratives, information, and organic data.

“Especially if this is a test run. And if there’s any selectivity going on...”

Absolutely... See #41. They did this during the Christ Church shooting as the first test run. They have it down to a science now as a censorship and gateway tool to blind the net when needed.

It’s the event prior to the Epstein files being released. Expect much more prior to the vote

The larger companies and their websites seem fine. It’s the relatively smaller websites that are unavailable.

“Cloudflare is a Denial of Service operation to all users of anonymizing technology. It needs to be down ETERNALLY. People have bought into it thinking it was providing them a security service when Cloudflare’s overarching purpose is to deny Netizens of their privacy.”

Yep, absolutely, period.

Anyone who uses it on their domain is a complete idiot.

Unfortunately, many of us visit websites tied to Cloudflare.

Same here on Grok in Taiwan

For me in Phoenix, Grok works, but Perplexity does not.

“MIAMI DOWN AS OF 8:31 AM.”

I might be wrong, but I have a bad feeling in my gut about this. There is some reason they are blinding everyone...

I know... And those sites are stupid for incorporating it into their sites as a gateway. It s something I refused to do on my own domain. No Google, and no CloudFlare. Mine is still up because I did not... The FR is still up because they do not have CloudFlare.

Yes, I ran some checks on that too. This is something major and international.
