Are Ubuntu servers still down (despite what it says on their status pages), or is it just me?
Like the last time I checked in on this, the only Canonical pages I can refresh are their status pages. They are all showing wall-to-wall green, uptime of 100%, etc., etc.
This is the exact opposite of my experience.
I haven't been able to refresh the app centre, snapcraft.io, ppa.launchpadcontent.net, or even their blog since the whole DDoS thing kicked off. Today, even their 10- and 5-day-old updates on the issue won't refresh for me (that's new...).
I haven't seen much noise about this recently, though. Does this mean the Canonical problem became a "me" problem somewhere along the line, or are other people (still) having the same experience?
It's a worryingly long time not being able to update anything, especially given what's out there at the moment.
EDIT: being on a VPN was the issue (thx to u/Icy-Astronomer-9814/ for the suggestion). After turning it off I could see the repos, blogs etc. and updates have commenced!
It's a shame Canonical didn't (to the best of my knowledge) mention that anywhere in their updates (?) and when it became a "me" problem was hard to spot because their status pages were showing good status long before they actually were...
However, case closed. Thanks all.
