Down as well here in South Africa

thesimon• 5 years ago

Seems to be a problem in Europe, GCR down in FRA, though search is up.

Denatonium• 5 years ago

Search and YouTube seem to be working on Vodafone (4G) as well as Ziggo (wireline) in Amsterdam.

TeeWEE6• 5 years ago

On my phone it was working... My phone was using a different DNS server... So that's how I tracked down the fact that it was a DNS related issue.

the-dude• 5 years ago

Up for me ( with Vermeer paintings )

onion2k• 5 years ago

Search goes the way of Reader. It was bound to happen in the end.

(I hope I don't need to explain that this is a joke.)

Somewhere in a far away land at the edge of the planet where the disc meets the universe, a sysadmin has learned how to patch a loop.

codetrotter• 5 years ago

This comment reminds me of the science fiction story Ra.

It’s a good story, takes a while but not too long to read, a few days or something, and the whole story can be read online for free at https://qntm.org/ra

th3iedkid• 5 years ago

google.com does not have a status page ?

helloguillecl• 5 years ago

How would you search for it? /s

lucasterra• 5 years ago

I use Cloudflare's DNS (1.1.1.1) and changing it to Google's (8.8.8.8) fixed it for me.

TeeWEE6• 5 years ago

Huh? I had to move away from 8.8.8.8 to fix it...

breakingcups3• 5 years ago

That's funny, this person had the opposite: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29197602

bamboozled• 5 years ago

Why are you writing this on multiple comments?

Datagenerator• 5 years ago

I used my own DNS and changed to 8.8.8.8 to no avail. Something in the Google infrastructure was failing badly.

TeeWEE6• 5 years ago

It was Google's DNS server 8.8.8.8 that was having issues. https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns

This page also doesnt load for me https://dns.google/ (points to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Changing my DNS solved the issue. Not sure what was happening.

Having issues with IMAP / gmail. UK

Wronnay2• 5 years ago

Gmail seems to be down for me

TeeWEE6• 5 years ago

For me it was gmail, google analytics, google accounts. (My mac asked me to login again)..

So I was thinking my internet was down... But only Google sites where not responding..

After changing the DNS I fixed it... I was using 8.8.8.8 Google Public DNS (dns.google.com)

NicoJuicy• 5 years ago

It's working in belgium

Pinging 8.8.8.8 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=17ms TTL=117

TeeWEE6• 5 years ago

Works for me now too. Guess i'ts fixed?

ps• 5 years ago

@Czech Republic: SMTP relay issues, Gmail apps sometimes does not load messages.

Wronnay2• 5 years ago

If you are in Switzerland I suggest you use the DNS service from the Digitale Gesellschaft[1] which doesn't block or track you.

"Digital Society Switzerland is a charitable non-governmental and non-profit organisation focusing on digital right and freedom. One of our purpose is to provide privacy and anonymity services encouraging people in Switzerland and all over the world in their fundamental rights of privacy and security in the digital world." [2]

Swiss law no longer allows for running anonymous services. If the police ask you to log data for a specific user or IP, you must do so.

Protonmail was recently hit by this, and an activist who thought they were using a private service ended up arrested.

sschueller3• 5 years ago

This is still unclear. Threema and Proton say the BüPf does don't apply to them and recently won cases against the government.

ale42• 5 years ago

Nice, didn't know about this! Do they happen to have also regular DNS? Not all systems/programs can do DoT or DoH...

sschueller3• 5 years ago

Not at the moment: "We provide DoH and DoT only DNS resolvers. We deliberately do not operate unencrypted DNS on 53/udp/tcp." [1]

pineaux• 5 years ago

Nope. Working just fine for me

lostfocus• 5 years ago

Yepp. The European Google Cloud regions are having problems, too.

progbits• 5 years ago

Status page for updates:

https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/

"We are currently investigating an issue affecting user access to multiple services affecting users in Europe."

Ah that's why my Nest Thermostat is not showing up in Home Assistant. Great design Google, thanx, hooray for the cloud.

(Edit: Nest app does work :s, why must it be like this.)

(Edit2: I also did upgrade Home Assistant this morning, that could also be the cause, I'll have to figure it out. That's really a downside as well, you always have to ask, is it me or "the cloud" [my computer or someone else's!]. I wish the cloud was not a factor.)

(Edit3: Nest integration works again after a restart of the HA container)

javawizard• 5 years ago

How are you getting your Nest to work with Home Assistant in the first place? I thought Google shut down the relevant API a year or two ago.

teekert2• 5 years ago

It's a pita and cost me 2 hours (I made some mistakes on the first try) and a 5$ dev account, but this works: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nest/

It's a really nice integration, shows you the history of target/set temp and the times gas was burned. The widget works well.

allyant• 5 years ago

They released a Nest Smart Device Management (SDM) API last year which opens up the ecosystem - https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/api

Although there is a 5$ fee.
