    I can't reach twitter and half of other websites. Thanks to @Petrozza, TGG site seems to be working fine. Anybody has any idea what the heck this cloudflare thingy is?

    They provide network infrastructure to online companies. I think this is the beginning of corpo wars between the monopolies that supposedly don't exist in our country. It started a month ago with the AWS shit, then half of Microsoft's online services dropped a week later.

    This is probably just billionaires fucking with billionaires.

    Change your DNS settings until Cloudfare gets fixed.. I use either Google (8.8.8.8)|(8.8.4.4) or Xfinity (75.75.75.75)|(75.75.76.76). That should hold until Cloudfare is back.

    Is this the message 500 thing on a gray screen? I've had a lot of links go that way this morning.

    Yep. Probably it is. More than half the websites including my work links didn’t work this morning.

    Are you guys familiar with how DNS works? Its literally the only way onto the internet. Take a look at your wifi settings and see what your DNS primary and alternate numbers are. Then use the ones I provided several links back. This will work.
