@ johoshua @ adam @ bacondude what it comes down to is that "Gab.com's DNS entry" isn't "[taken] down" but rather that Cloudflare is no longer passing along requests to the actual Gab servers
@ johoshua @ adam @ bacondude "subnetted" is incorrect as well. Cloudflare works kind of like a firewall/router combination, passing along the requests to the actual website somewhere else on the internet.
@ johoshua @ adam @ bacondude no! None of what you've said is correct.
Gab's web servers are still out there on the internet. How Cloudflare works is that you point your site to their servers, and they do their magic and then send the request along to your real servers when they determine it's not an attack.
Mr coldacid. What do you think is happening? I value your tech knowledge and I think we all would value your opinion.
@ bacondude @ johoshua @ adam I think Cloudflare is refusing to pass along the requests to Gab's actual servers and just claiming that they're not able to access those servers. Until Turbo goes and changes the DNS records to point to the real servers instead of to Cloudflare, you'll all just get that page.
@ bacondude @ johoshua @ adam yeah because without a Host: header in the HTTP request, Cloudflare doesn't know what actual site you want, so it doesn't know where to route your request.
@ coldacid @ johoshua @ adam
I've maxed out my dude named ben abilities. :) But Mr acid we can generally agree something is not right.
