[{"selector":"#anim-c60a6325-75b8-4f2e-9165-acefcc0658e7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cd55b051-832b-4469-b5c4-f29b6656945b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.10526%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e126fb25-085c-46a9-8516-57b724406eb8","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Different Verge staff individuals found they couldn't get to any sites whatsoever during the blackout because of utilizing Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS administration.

he fix here is basic: change your DNS setup. I found that just changing back to utilizing my ISP's default DNS settings settled the vast majority of my issues.

[{"selector":"#anim-6883323b-50b0-4b04-8781-98721e82d823 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-24ce0744-2fab-41bf-99ea-f0c7e3971d50","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-63b99264-2cbd-48d9-bef3-620a9c59450e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-af7f8b29-0860-4795-9524-635cde979169","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Cloudflare has encountered comparable issues in the past, for example,

[{"selector":"#anim-5933caec-9b9d-4865-bbe8-6661c2741db4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-17.031250228327764%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
