Is anyone else getting “Connection to server failed (1006)” messages all of a sudden today (12:45 PM CST) on their custom domain?

I am also experiencing an outage. My API’s are being timed out. Seems to have started at 12:38PM CST for me.

Okay Great. I as well am experiencing the same issues.

I’ll note my websites that do not use anvil servers but do use anvil hosting are fine.

It seems to work okay when running the same app in debug for me.

Same here… Debug mode works fine… but I noticed that my API (is hosted on a AWS EC2 UK instance) is not connecting…

Hey Stu, have you identified the issue and are working on it or are you still in the investigation stage? I’d like to provide updates to my team.

Thanks!

Still investigating, I’m afraid!

Even the forum is responding intermittently (maybe this little piece of information helps in the investigation, who knows…)

My apps are failing when trying to authenticate using Microsoft. Fails using published links, works when running in the Anvil IDE.

Edit: Just putting this out in case it helps someone else, I have my users using the *.anvil.app legacy links instead of our custom domain links and that’s working at the moment. My userbase is internal, so it’s a viable workaround for us.

Same here, customers cannot work - another bad experience for them. please fix it fast.

Any update or projected resolution time? I’m getting eviscerated by customers right now.

It seems that any google API related activities are affected :thinking:

Update: We were subject to a denial of service attack, starting around 18:35 UTC. This attack has now been successfully mitigated for apps on the *.anvil.app domains, and we are monitoring the situation.

Your apps should now be back to usual functioning.
