Some major websites down, showing ‘500 error’ – Times of India

It seems there’s a major internet outage as several websites across the world are showing “500 error”. Users have been reporting that they are getting “500 Internal Server Error”. Stock trading apps Zerodha, Upstox are also suffering from connectivity issues. Zerodha took to Twitter and noted, “We are getting reports of intermittent connectivity issues on Kite via the Cloudflare network for users on certain ISPs. We are taking this up with Cloudflare. In the meanwhile, please try using an alternate internet connection.”
The stock trading app in a subsequent tweet with a screenshot hinted at a global outage. “Cloudflare (network transit, proxy, security provider) used by most of the internet businesses around the world, is having a global outage. If you are unable to use our websites or apps, please try switching to a different ISP as a different route may work,” tweeted Zerodha.

We checked DownDetector, a site that tracks outages across the internet, and it showed that Cloudflare was indeed down. In fact, even Amazon Web Services, is also reportedly suffering from outages, as per Down Detector.
