Endless/Nameless Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I was unable to access the site for a few mins. This is the error message I was receiving: This isn't something I'm familiar with, so I don't know if it's of any concern, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Mods, please delete this thread if it was nothing important. EDIT: it happened again a few minutes after this post. EDIT2: Four instances now.

willow Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 usually when I get DNS errors like this it's because the server is unresponsive, but I can pass it along to someone who may know a little bit more about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: FA has gone down more often since they switched to CloudFlare than DDoS attacks have taken them down. the irony is that it was even pointed out several times that FA's security was full of holes and yet they did nothing to really fix it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretaker Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 That error suggests an issue within Cloudflare itself, if this server was unavailable you'd get a more generic 5xx error instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
