Is there an internet outage? Cloudflare issues cause several apps to go down including X, Bet365, Vinted, Canva - see full list affected websites
Popular apps and websites have stopped working amid a technical problem at Cloudflare.
Visitors to websites such as X, formerly known as Twitter, ChatGPT and film reviewing site Letterboxd saw an error message that indicated that Cloudflare problems meant that the page could not show. The issues have now been going on for more than two hours.
And there is no sign that they’ll be fixed soon. Cloudflare hasn’t given any indication of how long it thinks it will take.
However, it has committed that it is “continuing working on restoring service”, as part of a run of updates that are generally reassuring but give no specific information. According to tracking website Down Detector, whole new websites are being dragged into the outage.
Products as various as shopping platform Vinted and gay dating app Grindr are now showing up as having problems, all of a sudden. Betting site bet365 has also been taken down by the Cloudflare outage.
On there, the error message reads: “Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access bet365.com.” It is accompanied by a host of worrying messages about you potentially being a security threat. ChatGPT is down again.
That page shows an error that is recurring across affected sites: “Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed.” Listed below are the apps and websites affected.
