Problems at content delivery network Cloudflare are causing problems for online services and websites around the world, leaving them with just the kind of outage that Cloudflare’s services are intended to protect from.
“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,” the company announced on its status page at 11.48 a.m. UTC.
About 90 minutes later, it reported that users in London would be unable to access WARP, a DNS proxy for enterprises enabling Zero Trust policies, as it had disabled the service there while attempting to remediate the problem. Minutes later, it reported that it had identified the issue, re-enabled WARP access in London, and made changes to that service and to Cloudflare Access that enabled them to recover.
