It’s been down for more than three hours now. Nothing critical, it’s just one of the nodes in my "CDN" that serves the BSD Cafe’s media (and a bit more), and DNS has already taken it out since it’s not responding.
Still, I’ve never experienced such a long outage on #Hetzner before.

@stefano how is your dns server? for some of my sites, I have my own dns, and there has really been strange traffic. on the dns server, if they can't get at it any other way, they send flawed queries until they are blocked. fortunately, bind9 has a default to only allow a reasonable number of queries - so they pile on the addresses, as I had shown from my logs earlier this month

That is long indeed.
Never had this with them. Mine are all in DE, not sure if that makes a difference.

Can you still acces the backups and/or snapshots? In that case, if it was critical, you could spin up a new one.

@TomSeppert Same here - I've never had such a long outage in Europe, too.

It's a non-critical server (just an OpenBSD CDN node) and I have the backups 1 meter away from me 🙂

@stefano

Yeah, but I'm curious if you can spin up a new vps with the backup or snapshot of that broken one.

Just in case if I ever encounter a similar problem.

@TomSeppert I'm not using their snapshots/backups so I don't know if they're still accessible. I'm usually relying on external data more than the provider's one
