    Cloudflare DNS crashes - takes a large portion of the internet with it.

    Today around 2:15pm PST, the cloudflare DNS crashed.

    Many large and popular websites use this DNS and were unreachable for approximately 25 minutes.

    It appears WPN network was apart of this crash.

    Pretty scary stuff as a lot of things solely depend on the internet. If the internet would crash, many businesses and things we are accustomed to in every day life would either cease to exist, or would be vastly changed from what we are used to.

    Yeah I was in an MD appt and my "work' cell went batshit crazy with down alerts as my sites are tied through cloudflare for DNS, SSL and use their Argo Tunnel package to speed up data transfers.. (Did I mention it was my Pysch to boot ugh..) I had it on vibrate and was like well this is shitty timing.. By the itme I got out Id gotten the everything was back up notification.. (Use monitoring site zoho that checks connections worldwide.. Pretty cheap and good little option costs me $10 a month to monitor everything I need to)
