Cloudflare outage cuts off access to websites in some regions

A rolling Cloudflare outage is impacting access to web sites worldwide, including BleepingComputer, with sites working in some regions and not others.

While Cloudflare says they are currently conducting scheduled maintenance in Sinagpore and Nashville, its status page does not indicate any problems.

However, for many users worldwide, when attempting to access websites utilizing Cloudflare, web browsers will display error messages stating they have trouble connecting to the server, as shown below.

Our platform, BleepingComputer, is one of the sites affected by this outage, and our users are experiencing intermittent access issues. However, our monitoring tools indicate that the site is still receiving traffic, suggesting that the outage is region-specific.

Furthermore, from the publishing of this article, you can see that I can still access our site from the US, while some of our other staff are not able to from other countries.

Downdetector also shows increased complaints about Cloudflare at around 1:45 PM ET, which coincides with when we began having issues at BleepingComputer.

Similar reports are found on X, with customers stating that their sites are inaccessible over IPv4, but can be reached through IPv6.

NodeJS.org is also reporting being impacted by the Cloudflare outage, stating it is impacting the "ability to access nodejs.org, including access to the website and downloading Node.js."

BleepingComputer contacted Cloudflare to learn more about this outage, but a reply was not immediately available.

This is a developing story.
