Unable to connect to sites intermittently

What is the name of the domain?

joshcastleberryconstruction.com, valvewizard.com

What is the error number?

Doesn’t seem to be one.

What is the error message?

None that I can see, devices time out trying to reach sites. No errors in DNS logs in Cloudflare end.

What is the issue you’re encountering

When DNS proxying is turned on, sites are intermittently unreachable for 10-20 seconds at a time.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Replaced all cabling, migrated origin servers twice, moved origin servers to new hardware, tried different routers. Using dns-cloudflare plugin for ngnx. Disabling proxy works.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS not responding/updating

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Ping the hostnames all day and you won’t get some responses sometimes. Maybe 3-10 times a day, it’s super random.

Proxy is off right now and your site still times out (I’ve waited ~2 minutes).

curl -sI https://valvewizard.com
^C

telnet valvewizard.com 443
Trying xxxxxxxx...
^C

telnet valvewizard.com 80
Trying xxxxxxxxx...
^C

Ah… I had geoblocking turned on for all but USA. I’ve disabled that for now and turned the proxy back on.

Server still times out:

telnet valvewizard.com 80
Trying xxxxxxxxxx...
^C

telnet valvewizard.com 443
Trying xxxxxxxxxx...
^C

Apologies. Seems to be working now. Database died. =D
