Http://www.blynk.io/ is down? Why?

1

Hello All,
I see that the http://www.blynk.io/ is down from morning. I’m worried if this is reliable for business. Is there not a fail-safe mechanism to keep it up always?

Any idea, thoughts welcome.

Best regards,
Sumanta

It may be related to global hackers DNS attack.
Even twitter is not available for some users.

Me too, I have changed DNS and all is ok

It is again down and it is showing only down for me. It does not seems to be so reliable. :frowning:

The site doesn’t appear to have been down at all so I would say it is reliable.

If it is not accessible for an individual it can be due to routing problems between you and the server. It might be caused by the huge denial of service attack created by hackers. Equally the link from India may have gone down.
