Good question! All of the network attacks have a whitelisting capability, to keep the host accessible. This isn't an issue with state attacks, as the client will come back online once the host reboots. And with resource attacks the client typically remains active, if your application is handling starved resources well.

Exactly! Chaos engineering is all about thoughtfully planned out experiments, to observe what the user experience will be when something fails. Doing this on your own terms allows you to improve the experience so that your customers aren't affected.

You can decide what happens when an in-flight request is dropped, whether you hold onto the state somehow and retry or the client could fail gracefully with a relevant error message.

We've found the glitch in the UI and the issue will be resolved shortly. Thanks for all the support and quick testing after announcing this beta release.
