"Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating, an issue which potentially impacts multiple users that use 1.1.1.1 public resolver. Further detail will be provided as more information becomes available," the company stated.
DownDetector, a platform that tracks outages on the internet based on users' reports, had as many as 4,071 users reporting an outage at the peak of the outage. Since then, the number of reports has fallen to the 400s and is going down. In the comments section of the app, many users said that Cloudflare is back up and working.
