Cloudflare down update, is X down, what does "Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed" mean?
Earlier today, Cloudflare issued an update on their website.
Cloudflare issued an update earlier on their website which read: “ Cloudflare is experiencing an internal service degradation. Some services may be intermittently impacted.
“We are focused on restoring service. We will update as we are able to remediate. More updates to follow shortly.”
They then shared this update: “We are seeing services recover, but customers may continue to observe higher-than-normal error rates as we continue remediation efforts.”
However, Cloudflare subsequently posted that “During our attempts to remediate, we have disabled WARP access in London. Users in London trying to access the Internet via WARP will see a failure to connect.”
They then said: “The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.” and also added that “We have made changes that have allowed Cloudflare Access and WARP to recover. Error levels for Access and WARP users have returned to pre-incident rates.
“We have re-enabled WARP access in London. We are continuing to work towards restoring other services.”
Their latest update reads at 13:35 UFC that “We are continuing working on restoring service for application services customers.”
