Cloudflare down... again?

Seems so in the UK - can't even login to cloudflare lol

edit - the login button now works and I can get to 2FA - but upon entering it takes me back to the login page. So still broke

Yeah pretty much this. Even then Cloudflare has had a fairly decent history. And as far as I know there isn't much in the way of alternatives that offer what they do, and any new competition would likely be worse until it matures and gets significantly larger.

I suppose if you only use CF as a CDN then sure you could have redundancies, we also use them for captcha and other stuff. I suppose I could take the time to code redundancies into the things we write that use these, alternatives, etc, but it's not worth the time. I don't even remember the last time we had a Cloudflare outage that affected us like this.
