Around midnight, many users Discord noticed that the popular messenger suddenly stopped working around the world, and after a few minutes the real extent of what had happened became clear.
As it turned out, the server Cloudflare stopped responding, and they have a fairly extensive part of the Internet, including, for example, the sites Windows Central, Gematsu, GitLab, Zendesk, Medium and w3bsit3-dns.com. They simply could not boot.
Some online games have also suffered – at least League of legends, Valorant and Dauntless.
Now the crisis seems to have passed – sites are loading, games are connecting, and Discord is bouncing back, but the situation may repeat itself in the near future. The total shutdown time was approximately 20-30 minutes.
Discord then works, then loses connection
