Hey guys, I was online on my desktop and all of the boards went blank and gave 'Gateway' error codes. I was unable to access any of them from about 3:00am EST to 3:20am. Anybody know why?

The mods believe it was a DDoS attack.
Cloudflare seems to have inserted some extra protection, you may see a checkbox Captcha for a while.
Thanks!
Can’t get past cloudfare checkbox using DuckDuckGo.
Can get past cloudfare checkbox using Safari.
I got past it on DuckDuckGo. It indicated to tick the box if I was a human.
We must be really pissing off Big Mike. He's not a happy weirdo!
We live in interesting times!
Working for me on DuckDuckGo now. 😊
How annoying!
I can get past it with Brave.
I reckon Cloudflare will take this measure down when the danger has passed. I really hope so.
Cloudfare is assho!! Don't trust assho....
When I opened the app about 10 minutes ago, CloudFlare performed a safety check before the site opened.
We must have pissed off someone!
Same here. I thought, something's up
It just did it again a few minutes ago.
I'm in Australia, and I thought that might have had something to do with it, but it's happening in the US also.
They aren't happy little possums!
same here
Same just happened with me. I hadn't seen that before.
There is something weird going on, it's doing it quite often at present.
dunno if it helps, but I'm using protonvpn, and I'm not having any issues...I did have a weird glitch where the site hung on loading the basic template on u/funny earlier...but mostly everything seems to be working fine.
Maybe it's coming from specific IP addresses?
You may have something there,fren.
just trying to help however I can, even if that means looking at it with a fresh pair of eyes, lol
You are far more tech savvy than I am,fren. I appreciate your knowledge.
one of the things that helps devs/site admins fix a problem is to get as much info as possible. the more users submit bug reports, etc, to a point, the easier it is to narrow it down and identify that problem.
Think of it like if you designed a car, but it had a major flaw. the more drivers who could describe the problem, the better of an idea you'd have of what the actual problem is, and how to fix it.
I still cant get in as I normally do. I finally got into Patriots.win and on to GA through my inbox.
I'd love to know what the problem is. At present it's really buggy. Are we under attack?
Just saw comment by propertyofUniverse, thank fren,thanks Mods for the information about the suspected attack.
We have an app?
Yes a little icon on my background.
I'm having trouble too. New laptop has been a problem with it, new passcode and user name still wasn't cooperating.
Probably a DDoS attack
Retaliation for that Israel foreign aid poll?
I said something about the US annexing Israel.
Guess we were over target on something [they] don't want us to spread. Perhaps the fact that the pandemic is coming season 2.
You are not supposed to know that. Please act surprised when they announce later
They're scared.
network maintenance is a real thing that hosting providers have to do.
