mee too Edit: Firstly their ingresses are not respondable Followup, this impacts all of the traffic which is originated from balkans.

modinfo2• 11 months ago

No. It works for me.

I can ping it too but get 502 errors on google.com and youtube.com

modinfo2• 11 months ago

Google and YT works for me just fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo4bA4p3MBQ

Maybe depends on region

hvenev• 11 months ago

Our GCP VMs are also not responding (europe-west4-a and us-central1-b).

edit: Seems to be a network problem. We can't connect to them from Bulgaria, but we can connect to them from the US.

polmolea2• 11 months ago

Seems like it. Youtube as well

cranberryturkey• 11 months ago

Yes

temi4000• 11 months ago

Yes...

cbg0• 11 months ago

Google Apps and cloud status page down in Romania.

ddorian43• 11 months ago

Yes, google, youtube, gmail

keyme• 11 months ago

Even connectivitycheck.gstatic.com doesn't seem to be responding, making Androids think they don't have internet access.

vaglonk• 11 months ago

Everything Google related is down (Gmail, docs, youtube, google, etc.).

Is this the end?

neoaggelos• 11 months ago

All down here (Turkey).

qpiox• 11 months ago

Probably the rest of the Balkans too.

mzajc• 11 months ago

Still up in Slovenia for now.

mrtksn• 11 months ago

It's not limited to Google, now I wonder if this is actually a Cloudflare/other CDN/International Infra issue or is it that so many services use Google Cloud stuff and they are gone too because of it.

kuylar• 11 months ago

I feel like it's an issue in the Google infrastructure as all services which are down seem to be related to Google.

Another example is the HN API, which runs on Firebase.

Sanctor• 11 months ago

Spotify as well. I believe they switched from on-premises to Google cloud in 2023.

mahdihabibi2• 11 months ago

I think all affected websites run on google infra somehow, it's not a cloudflare problem .

(I love how we are using abreviated "infra" bcz we can't google how to write the full word)

elashri2• 11 months ago

It is funny because this is one of the very few words I learned while a kid to construct it from other parts.

So it is "infra" + "structure" but structure is common word so I need to remember how to write "infra" only.

The most bizarre one is the word "yesterday" which I memorized as "yes" + "ter" + "day" and don't ask me why "ter" because I don't remember.

adontz2• 11 months ago

Same in Georgia

adontz2• 11 months ago

In particular the following are not accessible ajax.googleapis.com fonts.gstatic.com gmail.com google.com www.googletagmanager.com www.youtube.com

    > ℹ Note: Multiple online services including Google Search and YouTube are currently experiencing international outages; incident not related to country-level internet disruptions or filtering #GoogleDown

ryzvonusef2• 11 months ago

Currently working fine for me in Pakistan. Btw, you can run https://api.webprobe.org/scan/ in a spare tab in the background and it will periodically check the status of such websites and update the NetBlocks status.

Liriel• 11 months ago

Can confirm issues! I can't log in for a google meet call at all.

akafazov• 11 months ago

Down in Bulgaria too.

jamwil• 11 months ago

Seems ok in Canada.

It's probably just a coincidence vibe-bros... :P

This quote gets thrown around a lot and I always think about what asdfman123 said here:: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41991291

Vibe correlations

splitroute• 11 months ago

the initial handshake of the connection in the affected countries is going through all the way obviously so the problem is not google services. the issue is in the interim path

I guess either this is an internet exchange collocation, ISP tier 1 fuckup or some of the non-existent agencies were instructed to sabotage connections. Or they did some interception fuckup.

timeobserver• 11 months ago

similar conclusions here

dipierro• 11 months ago

Armenia, down as well.

texeltexel2009• 11 months ago

Can confirm, from Yerevan - Armenia. Internet slow, then slows down to a halt in a matter of 10 seconds. Then it'll work in a burtst of another 10 seconds, and go back to nothing at all, and stay like that for minutes at a time. Internet on a National level is fast. Any connection to the outside seems to go through a bottleneck.

zenmac• 11 months ago

DNS maybe?

Hmmm maybe that is why www.youtube.com wasn't resolving, but youtube.com is.

Had to change my /etc/hosts to get mpv youtube working today.

pupileater• 11 months ago

in Hungary: YouTube is down, other Google services (search, workspace) seem OK as of now.
