All of our Win sites experienced a 50 minute downtime due to an issue with the system that routes traffic to our frontend servers.
This was not a DDoS, nor was it a traffic issue.
TheDonald.xyz, TheDonald.one, and TheDonald.space will be activated only in the very unlikely scenario that the main domain is completely dropped (which would mean it's never coming back), not for issues like this one.
Incidentally, while .win was down ... IsItDown said that it was Up, and the problem seemed to lay with Clownflare 'checking browsers' and then throwing 503 errors.
...just to pass along an anecdote.
For some reason I thought the CIA was involved but that is just a "conspiracy theory"............when would they get involved in American citizens private liberties and freedoms and ability to express ideas and just shut it down...awww shit
I didn't even know there was down time. I've been in and out so much, gone all day yesterday up at the ranch. Wow.
I also got a message from CloudFlare saying it was checking browsers.
It also said OAN was up when it was not.
Probably the resource nameserver is līve, but the content pages internally request to another server that was unresponsive.
(So the check says "we can see it", but it won't transfer content)
Which, in 2020, seems like a ?sloppy¿ (that's not the word) topology .. but I've never been DDOSed by Chyna, either, so maybe that setup is preventative of things that are typically even worse.
thx
