Many websites down (back up now)

Post by 4:20 » Thu Jul 22, 2021 5:35 pm

Akamai is reportedly experiencing an ongoing DNS issue. There's many, many sites that are not functioning at present. Banks, travel, entertainment etc. Just thought I'd give you a heads up if you're experiencing problems.

They need to unplug the DNS from the mains supply and plug it in again after two minutes that usually sorts the problem.

Failing that, unplug, remove battery. Shake liberally and then reset.

Akamai - which serves distributed web site content - had an outage. They plugged things back again and everything appears up and running.
