At 6: 57 a.m., Cloudflare identified the problem and started fixing it. And at 7: 20, the company has already launched a fix and started monitoring the results. At 8:06, Cloudflare reported that the problem was fixed. Details

Users may encounter errors or a temporary lack of access to the Cloudflare network or services.

Several Verge employees found that they couldn't access any sites at all due to a glitch because they were using Cloudflare'S 1.1.1.1 DNS service.

The company's CTO, John Graham-Cumming, said it wasn't a worldwide shutdown, but it "affected a lot of places."

The company has already faced similar problems in July and August 2020.
