Is Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 down for anyone else?

    $ ping 1.1.1.1
    PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1): 56 data bytes
    Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
    Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
    Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
    ...

whereas pinging 8.8.8.8 yields a response.

Eastern US if it matters

Edit: Should add that it's working again for me as of 2:09 AM Eastern Time

View on HN

All good for me. South-East US on Google Fiber.

  MacBook-Pro   ~ ping 1.1.1.1
  PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1): 56 data bytes
  64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=54 time=11.284 ms
  64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=17.139 ms
  64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=17.338 ms

To answer the question you would need a service like thousand-eyes [1] to show you which region is not responding. Cloudflare uses Anycast and when you ping 1.1.1.1 you are actually hitting a different set of clusters specific to your area. This is why the ping time is so low for many people. HN users are all over the place and unlikely they would all list their location.
