Ask HN: Is Google Down?

Posted by sbuccini on Tuesday June 09, 2020 @12:06AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Can't access any Google services right now. Haven't seen anything about it in the news and only a few people seem to reporting something similar Twitter. I'm currently in the Southeast US.

Even the Google DNS servers seem down. Can't resolve anything with 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

Edit: Location Atlanta, GA. Edit2: I can access Google services, for me it just seems to be their DNS servers that are down.

Also in Southeast US (Orlando, FL) on AT&T Fiber. Can't access any google services. Thought I was going crazy.

Tampa, FL here. It got to the point where I wasn't able to resolve any URLs. Once I switched my DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), everything came back up.

You can check Google's own status pages:

- https://status.cloud.google.com/

Certainly, if I could access Google, which I can't.

Seems like it's not just me though: https://twitter.com/search?q=google%20down&&f=live

I came here just to search this. I'm also not able to access Google services.

Glad I'm not the only one. Does it seem to cover all Google services? That's what I'm experiencing and seems like folks on Twitter are seeing the same:

Are you in the southeast US as well?

Yep sounds like it's something in the southeast. It works over my Verizon LTE but not Comcast cable.
