It's not limited to Google, now I wonder if this is actually a Cloudflare/other CDN/International Infra issue or is it that so many services use Google Cloud stuff and they are gone too because of it.

mahdihabibi6mo ago

I think all affected websites run on google infra somehow, it's not a cloudflare problem .

(I love how we are using abreviated "infra" bcz we can't google how to write the full word)

elashri6mo ago

It is funny because this is one of the very few words I learned while a kid to construct it from other parts.

So it is "infra" + "structure" but structure is common word so I need to remember how to write "infra" only.

The most bizarre one is the word "yesterday" which I memorized as "yes" + "ter" + "day" and don't ask me why "ter" because I don't remember.

I feel like it's an issue in the Google infrastructure as all services which are down seem to be related to Google.

Another example is the HN API, which runs on Firebase.

Sanctor6mo ago

Spotify as well. I believe they switched from on-premises to Google cloud in 2023.

Currently working fine for me in Pakistan. Btw, you can run https://api.webprobe.org/scan/ in a spare tab in the background and it will periodically check the status of such websites and update the NetBlocks status.

keyme6mo ago

Even connectivitycheck.gstatic.com doesn't seem to be responding, making Androids think they don't have internet access.

hvenev6mo ago

Our GCP VMs are also not responding (europe-west4-a and us-central1-b).

edit: Seems to be a network problem. We can't connect to them from Bulgaria, but we can connect to them from the US.

can16358p6mo ago

All down here (Turkey).

zenmac6mo ago

DNS maybe?

Hmmm maybe that is why www.youtube.com wasn't resolving, but youtube.com is.

Had to change my /etc/hosts to get mpv youtube working today.

modinfo6mo ago

No. It works for me.

polmolea6mo ago

I can ping it too but get 502 errors on google.com and youtube.com

modinfo6mo ago

Google and YT works for me just fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo4bA4p3MBQ

Maybe depends on region

Can confirm issues! I can't log in for a google meet call at all.

vaglonk6mo ago

Everything Google related is down (Gmail, docs, youtube, google, etc.).

Is this the end?

cbg06mo ago

Google Apps and cloud status page down in Romania.

ahmetozer6mo ago

mee too Edit: Firstly their ingresses are not respondable Followup, this impacts all of the traffic which is originated from balkans.

qpiox6mo ago

Probably the rest of the Balkans too.

mzajc6mo ago

Still up in Slovenia for now.

pupileater6mo ago

in Hungary: YouTube is down, other Google services (search, workspace) seem OK as of now.

polmolea6mo ago

Seems like it. Youtube as well

ddorian436mo ago

Yes, google, youtube, gmail

dipierro6mo ago

Armenia, down as well.

texeltexel20096mo ago

Can confirm, from Yerevan - Armenia. Internet slow, then slows down to a halt in a matter of 10 seconds. Then it'll work in a burtst of another 10 seconds, and go back to nothing at all, and stay like that for minutes at a time. Internet on a National level is fast. Any connection to the outside seems to go through a bottleneck.

akafazov6mo ago

Down in Bulgaria too.

jamwil6mo ago

Seems ok in Canada.

adontz6mo ago

Same in Georgia

adontz6mo ago

In particular the following are not accessible ajax.googleapis.com fonts.gstatic.com gmail.com google.com www.googletagmanager.com www.youtube.com

temi40006mo ago

Yes...

cranberryturkey6mo ago

Yes

splitroute6mo ago

the initial handshake of the connection in the affected countries is going through all the way obviously so the problem is not google services. the issue is in the interim path

I guess either this is an internet exchange collocation, ISP tier 1 fuckup or some of the non-existent agencies were instructed to sabotage connections. Or they did some interception fuckup.

timeobserver6mo ago
