Servers give 504 timeout errors if there is a sudden load hike on the server due to heavy traffic, which also happens due to DDOS attack.
The Cloudflare service is up, hence the green status, but they are supposed to be detecting and blocking DDOS traffic to T_D, which they are not. Host is down. This is the very definition of a DDoS attack.
I think perhaps we had a friendly fire DDOS when everyone checked up at the same time on the news of trump releasing the info.
Maybe not, I donno. But I've been around here for a while now, and I've seen its ups and downs. It's up far more than it's down, and its down times are usually pretty short. Odds are high that in addition to the automatic systems, there are humans working back there to keep it online despite the attacks by the democrat/socialist/communists (they're all the same people).
AGREED. I have experienced ongoing connection problems. Hope this is sorted out before tomorrow nights debate. And can’t imagine the evening of the election. 😖
Gonna get some hate for this, but this is why you should use cloud services like AWS or Azure. Horizontally scale up and down with load, and excellent Ddos services. I'm hard core conservative but if you work in cloud don't have much of a choice than to use MS, Google, or Amazon.
Servers aren't cheap, and there's the asymmetric problem that generating DDOS requests requires less capacity than the capacity needed to respond to the requests.
Are those other projects popular Conservative websites, by chance??

And, has it been your experience, that CloudFlair is extremely forthcoming about problems on their network?
The admins are asleep at the wheel. I have sent mod mail with 0 response, several times. I'm honestly baffled.
And my axe!
This place is going to be inaccessible election week if not longer. Had months to prepare. There has to be a plan....
Rush will be on the air. That has always been the fall back. 12pm M-F check local listings
Hi Capacity servers in co-locations are expensive, I am sure if you message the mods, they will show you how to donate.
They have refused all attempts at donations so far.
Really, didn't realize that.
There are sites far bigger and more DDOS'd than this than hold up. Don't think for a second the soyboys in SF aren't behind this.
Anyone else see the problem?

You don't know what you are talking about. Again. This has nothing to do with ddos but low tier servers who cannot handle bursts of traffic.
Cloudflare’s not the problem. See that little graphic in the middle that says “Cloudflare working”?

It means the servers owned by .win are overwhelmed (possibly by DDoS, possibly just from normal traffic).
No DDoS filtering proxy is going to be 100% accurate, anyways. Even if it's only 70% effective, that's a huge win over not having it.
Facepalm*
Those sites have money to buy more servers; servers aren't cheap.
TD hug of death. We could use more servers.
The picture you provided literally shows Cloudflare is working. It's thedonald.win's ass servers
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cuckflare are known liberals
I predict plenty of responsiveness for the celebration on Nov 4.
Whatever platform they are using it has been a beast.
It is slow sometimes but for a bunch of guys that wanted to tell Reddit to shove it I’m completely satisfied.
This is nothing to do with Cloudflare! FFS how. many. times. will. this. be. posted?!?!
Cloudflare PROTECTS US from attacks.
If there's an error at thedonald.win, but Cloudflare is still working, that means WE have too many users. It is NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH CLOUDFLARE.
The number of times this ignorant nonsense is posted by people have no idea how the Internet works.
And then upvoted by 1,000+ other people who also have no idea how the Internet works.
Geeeeeeez.
Maybe They could take a one time emergency donation from us to update the servers and possibly their backhaul to the internet.
maybe a membership or donation to put money towards a bigger better server? we need this now more than ever

This is not a cliff are issue. It’s a TheFonald.win server issue.
It’s the fucking worst
